Caffeine 01/22 - 02/04 (Josh)

I was struggling with this idea. I saw Pere's post of something that contains caffeine, and Scott's emanation as well. So I decided to kind of mix both together for my first idea.

"Caffeine filled people trying to keep moving because it's so bloody cold." at the sculpture garden's ice skating rink. I was trying to get some good movement shots, but of course when I arrived there, they say "can everyone please leave the rink". FML. Therefore, I did Histogram equalization to give it a grainy/snowy feel to mix in with the few silhouettes I had.



And just because I couldn't decide on any idea concretely, I'm throwing in another pic below which is a play on the word and titled "caffeine burst"

  1. I'll be harsh, I think the people are too blurry, a bit less exposure would've been better I think, Jaime's picture is awesome cos you can see his son and the movement

    Well done guys!

  2. ah, at first, i was thinking maybe the ISO is a little too high in the first pic, but if you think of it as snowy, it makes more sense. i don't understand what's going on in the second picture though.. is that a shooting star?

  3. i think the second photo would have been better if the light streak spanned the entire image. right now it's just floating there.

  4. The second pic was of a plane. I was at Han's Point in DC and was watching some planes land. I didn't start the pic until it was 1/3 of the way in sight, and then took it for 2 seconds as it flew through half the pic. But it was too dark so there was no way to get the actual body to show up. As for the first one, there wasn't anywhere to set my camera down, so it was hard to get the right body structure and stream from the people.
