So you're writing the themes on scraps of paper and pulling them out of an old ice cream container?...

and the resultant themes are in ....


The Themes are:
Theme 1: ... something beginning with f
Theme 2: ... people
Theme 3: ... technology
Theme 4: ... multiple exposure

My votes are:
Something Beginning with F: Bindii for "Fish"
People : Louie
Multiple Exposure: TonyT for Madison back & forth
Technology: Big Red

Louie's Flame was a close contender for F
I felt Technology in general was weak (mine included) I thought Colin's concept was good, but the photo itself held no interest for me.
Tony, just how did you get that double exposure so seamless? was it in camera, or PP? Or are they twins?
Louie's people has great action
Colin's daughter was "Person" rather than "people" otherwise it probably would have had my vote.
Again I liked the concept of Big Red's multiple, but I felt the execution was off. Too cluttered. Perhaps the reflections from the bonnet, or maybe it would have been better with one less bonnet shot.
I really do think Bindii had a worthy "Multiple Exposure", but she didn't include it in the comp.

My Votes for the comp are:

Theme 1: ... something beginning with f
= Louie, nicely done flame, could have been used for a multiple exposure as well.

Theme 2: ... people
= Bindi, like the shot but a bit brighter red would have been even better.

Theme 3: ... technology
= Mr Darcy, this theme was harder than i thought.

Theme 4: ... multiple exposure
= TonyT, great job on the multi.

My votes

Something beginning with f

Fish - Bingii
Louie was a close second.

People - Louie - liked the view over three levels.

Technology - Mr Darcy
Agreed it was a difficult theme.

Multi exposure - Colin_12
Again another difficult theme.

With regards to the comments on my multi exposure shot of Miss Madison (granddaughter), there is only one Miss Madsion and we're happy about that and so is her mother.

Mounted on a tripod, manual exposure, put in CS3, superimposed over first picture, erased over top layer to reveal second Madison, curved layer to lighten shadows.

Thanks to Big Red for organising this and looking forward to the next challenge this month.

I had plans for Wednesday night.

I was going to set up my new modem, log on to DSLR users, check out all the weekender entries and submit my votes.

Alas, you may have heard of the wee storm we had in Melbourne yesterday??
No Power. No internet. No vote able to be cast

So, very sorry for my apparent lack of participation! It was not intentional.
I do enjoy this weekender challenge and look forward to the next one

No Power. No internet. No vote able to be cast

Hey we're all friends here. Vote anyway. It's not as if our lives depend on it. And comment. Entries are for fun &/or learning
