'08 Subject Assignment - KITCHEN UTENSILS - Due July 25th

Aye-non Oh-non Imus · Jul 23, 2008

It may not be my place to say anything, but there seems to be a lot of chatty Cathy's (non-gender specific) and a lot of re-posting the same shots on this photo assignment thread.

Just an observation.

Well, this isn't really a "utensil", per se, but it is in my kitchen. And I do use it while cooking... sometimes...

No kid gloves, please. I'm really struggling to learn and improve. Any critiques, suggestions, impressions, first reactions, etc... are welcome and appreciated!

How did I miss this one! As you can probably discern from my posted images, this one suits my tastes to a "T."

What I really like:
composition
dead on focus
short depth of field
excellent tonal range without blown highlights

Sorry Aye-non Oh-non Imus if that's too wordy.

A lemon Zester...thing. xD I'm not a genius in Kitchen Utensils. Though this was picture was edited abit other than resizing. I messed with a couple settings in "Photoscape"

And a mini cheese-grater. Though it looks like it needs abit of cleaning. Ha. Used the 'Noise Reduction Tool' in Photoscape.

I really like the way the light is diffused and plays across the knife. And just the teeth are in focus!

This one's from this afternoon.

I enjoy the fact that you can still see some pepper residue.

Oh big fan of these shots.. Great job.. How did you get the difused light? Special lighting technique or camera setting?

Actually, I felt bad about my descending to that comment, and would like to apologize. After making my comment, I clicked on her username, and went to see her posts. She makes very cogent, constructive criticisms whenever she posts, regarding folks' images.

And Meg, you know with age comes wisdom.

If I live long enough, I'll be a wise-ass instead of a smart-ass. :lol:

Johngpt,

Thank you for the very specific feedback. I really appreciate it!

What are the things that you didn't like? Where could I improve?

Thanks again! Oh and thanks to everyone who's posted images and C&C on this thread. I'm learning SO much and I love getting to see my photo next to so many incredible ones!

I wish I'd been the one to snap this one! Honestly, there isn't anything I'd change about it. Perhaps someone with a different perspective could comment?
