Well here is my 'proper' shoes homework. It is a shot of the waders the site staff have to wear on the contaminated land site I have just started working on:
f 2.8 1/200 ISO 70
Took the camera with me to get a few shots of the diggers but the diggers didn't excite me so didn't bother, however these boots amused me. I can just imagine Wallis say "its the wrong trousers grommet"

Do I detect a hint of HDR in there? Or is it a slightly graduated filter to darken the top of the image? I think you might have blacked out distracting details above the top rail over which the waders have been draped.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting interpretation of the subject, and I too was reminded of Wallace and Gromit.
Nicely done, very topical at the moment, particulary given what BP are up to in the Gulf.
ReplyDeleteNot sure on the black at the top.
How / where / what is it ?
Otherwise, nice compositon and technical bits.
Would also like to have seen more of the workers actually wearing them, then be a nice series.
Cheers,

No HDR here at all, in fact very little post processing as it happens as I have a confession......this was taken on my phone!! It was just god light and an interesting subject, nothing more.
ReplyDeleteNothing is blacked out either, the black is the colour of the portacabin behind the waders and it was this contrast between the yellow of the waders and the black of the background that caught my eye. I also love the fact that all the wadders are draped neatly over the drying rail except the second from the left which breaks the line, but does so pretty much on the third.
As for the workers who wear these wadders.......believe me they are not a pretty bunch and I'm sure you wouldn't like to see more of them ;0)
Very nice black point then.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you don;t want your D700 I'm sure I can find a good home for it ;-)
