Smokin by Allison

Smokin

Best viewed large if you have time.

A different take on the Smoking Apple shot. I dislike that the scrabble titles aren't perfectly square, and I'm generally not too impressed with it, but it'll do as I'm off to make popcorn, and then hang out with Aaron and watch King Kong........you can't beat a giant hairy gorilla :-)
The composition is both brilliant and clever! Too cool for school! Perfect in b&w!

Cool smikin shot and some nice end grain in the tiles.

Great effect Allison, is it steam from a cup?
Hope it was toffee popcorn and not that awful salty stuff :)

"Scuse me Miss.....I'd like to return this game, the tiles aren't perfectly square and they're ruining my photos!"

@nicolecampbell we did...the pair of us ate enough popcorn, chocolate to empty the Wonka factory :-)
@wudybearest thank you, Judy.....really appreciated :-)
@andreajoy thank you Andrea.....hope you had a lovely weekend :-)
@richardcreese thanks Richard.....one of those shots where you're constantly switching your lights on an off, along with torch light.....I worry that the neighbours will think I'm being robbed and call the Police :-) lol
@bluefirebucket lol substandard photo props ;-) It was the salty stuff.....started off with the low calorie stuff, but it was like eating styrofoam, so moved onto the salty stuff, which tasted like salty buttered styrofoam ;-) The steam comes from holding a flashlight above the tiles, along with moving a piece of string, and an 8 sec exposure...it's fun :-)

@bec2702 thank you Bec......good to see you back :-)
October 21st, 2013  
Well aren't you dead clever! :)

@bluefirebucket I think Evan should get the credit ;-) Here's the link, just in case.....rainy Manchester day......stuck indoors :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXX3z7lGhb4

Well, isn't he dead clever! :)
I've tried a couple of his shots before, though for the life of me I can't remember which now! (Yet another senior moment :) )
"Just in case" haha lol, it hasn't stopped for days and it's gonna rain all week too :(
October 21st, 2013  
@bluefirebucket my sisters have been complaining about all the rain you've/they've been getting. Hopefully you'll get some sunshine soon, before you start looking like a fungi :-) lol
October 21st, 2013  
Lol! I've noticed some 'shrooms growing in the garden today as it
happens :)
Off to Madrid for a short hol next week so hopefully it might be a bit better there :)
October 21st, 2013  
@bluefirebucket just what the Dr ordered. Manchester and the rain always takes me back to China Town, a flasher, and me brandishing my umbrella.....never a dull moment :-) Anyway, Madrid will be beautiful......you'll be able to put the EM-5 through it's paces :-)

12 points...nice! Very clever and well executed Allison. Now that I think about it, you don't get the points. There is no G. Ah, because it's you, take the points :)
October 21st, 2013  
Mmmm popcorn. :)
Looks cool to me. I think the irregularity of the tiles gives it character.
October 21st, 2013  
Thanks for stopping by my project. This is a very cool and clever shot.
October 21st, 2013  
great effect ... very clever and well executed .. wonderful lighting too ... I am a sucker for 'set-up' shots like these since it really calls on imagination and attention to details ... FAV!!
October 21st, 2013  
@adamj lolol why thank you kind sir, although I'd already took them ;-)
@humphreyhippo I hadn't even realised they were so irregular until I took this shot......I need new ones now....these just won't do ;-) The popcorn was good, although Aaron didn't really eat any, so I was forced to eat it unfortunately ;-)
@cazla thank you, and you're welcome....it was a beautiful shot :-)
@friend2303 thank you so much Vijay......you're so supportive, and it's much appreciated :-)
October 21st, 2013
