Someone on the forum asked me what would constitute a&#013;<br \/>\nfavourite image. Should their entry be an image that worked best on a technical&#013;<br \/>\nlevel, or one that simply held some personal emotional significance for them?&#013;<br \/>\nMy response was as follows:<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><em>The image should hold personal&#013;<br \/>\nsignificance. As we&#8217;ve seen in previous rounds, technical imperfections can be&#013;<br \/>\nan image&#8217;s strongest virtue, so a great image doesn&#8217;t have to be technically&#013;<br \/>\naccomplished by any means. I&#8217;ve often adored images that are out-of-focus,&#013;<br \/>\ngrainy and defy every \u2018rule&#8217; of photography. On the other hand, your favourite&#013;<br \/>\nimage could be one that demonstrates the time you finally overcame some&#013;<br \/>\ntechnical challenge. People&#8217;s images become their favourites for a variety of&#013;<br \/>\nreasons.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><em>Take a look&#013;<br \/>\nat The Guardian website and the My Best Shot features. Then look at the number&#013;<br \/>\nof reader comments beneath calling them rubbish. Photography is a truly&#013;<br \/>\nsubjective affair, as we all know.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>So there we have it. That should give&#013;<br \/>\nyou some idea of how I went about my judging. It should also give you some idea&#013;<br \/>\nof what a lazy person I am as a writer when I just copy and paste my own words&#013;<br \/>\nonto a different thread. When I judge a competition, my opinion is entirely&#013;<br \/>\nsubjective. I can only pick images that have a personal resonance &#8211; images that&#013;<br \/>\nI see a part of myself in. That&#8217;s why I think it&#8217;s crucial that if any of you&#013;<br \/>\nsee an image you like in the competition make that known in the comments&#013;<br \/>\nsection of the forum competition. Ask yourself why does it work and what does&#013;<br \/>\nit mean to you? <\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at the top three&#013;<br \/>\nimages from \u2018My Favourite Image&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.manfrotto.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/08\/Manfrotto_Active_Backpack_300.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<sub>Contents not included<br \/>\nPrize applies to UK &amp; EU residents only<\/sub><\/p>\n<p><em>Our first prize winner receives a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.manfrotto.com\" target=\"_blank\">Manfrotto<\/a> Active Backpack I.

As I&#8217;ve said&#013;<br \/>\nbefore, that&#8217;s not a bad thing at all. On this occasion the photographer who&#013;<br \/>\nentered my mind was Harry Callahan, a master practitioner of multiple&#013;<br \/>\nexposures. That&#8217;s obviously not the method that Stephen67 has employed here,&#013;<br \/>\nbut the effect is the same. Here, as with Callahan, we have a focus on light&#013;<br \/>\nand dark, as well as line and form. The gentleman in the image is perfectly&#013;<br \/>\nplaced, and despite existing in a chaotic frame he is clearly the subject of&#013;<br \/>\nthe image. That said, reducing the image to monochrome has emphasized that this&#013;<br \/>\nis an image that is less about that particular subject &#8211; despite its prominence&#013;<br \/>\n&#8211; and more about an arrangement of shapes and lines.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/07\/2_JackHood_Against_the_Elements.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/p>\n<p><strong>2nd Place<br \/>\nJackHood &#8211; Against the Elements <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>Jack Hood is a name many readers and&#013;<br \/>\ngallery viewers will be familiar with. A couple of years ago we featured his&#013;<br \/>\nextraordinary macro shots and I was lucky enough to interview him. With such a&#013;<br \/>\nstrong body of work it must have been difficult selecting the one image he was&#013;<br \/>\nmost proud of. This is a departure from the kind of work I&#8217;ve seen from Jack.&#013;<br \/>\nThe subject is familiar, but his presentation of it differs from the popping&#013;<br \/>\nverdant colours I had previously seen. Here we have drama and atmosphere. A&#013;<br \/>\nsimple everyday scene is enhanced by a stark tonal range and beautiful light.&#013;<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a gorgeous image and one I would happily hang on my wall. <\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2014\/07\/1._Chrisevans_Jess_The_Levitating_Lady.jpg\" border=\"0\"><\/img><strong>1st Place<br \/>\nChrisevans &#8211; Jess &#8211; The Levitating Lady<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>I&#013;<br \/>\nthink most of us can agree this is a pretty impressive shot. Rather than me go&#013;<br \/>\non about why I like it, I&#8217;ll leave it to Chris himself to explain exactly how&#013;<br \/>\nit was done:<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>As I said in my submission, this shot was by far the most difficult,&#013;<br \/>\nemotional, stressful, time-consuming yet fulfilling photo I&#8217;ve ever taken. I had only been shooting with the Nikon D7000&#013;<br \/>\n&#8211; my first ever DSLR &#8211; for 12 months before I took this shot. Come the time of&#013;<br \/>\nthe shoot, I actually thought I was crazy to think I could pull it off, but I&#013;<br \/>\nhad this wonderfully willing model at my disposal. <\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>Jess was amazing. She wanted some head shots for her new casting cards&#013;<br \/>\nso I took those first. One of these was used as the hanging portrait on the&#013;<br \/>\nwall above the sofa looking down on herself. I wanted to do this to give the&#013;<br \/>\nimage a more eerie quality.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lighting<\/strong><br \/>\nThe main shot was set up in a meeting room, which was painted a stunning&#013;<br \/>\nblood red with a matching sofa. Lighting came from my two second-hand Speedlights&#013;<br \/>\nrecently purchased from eBay. Flash 1 was placed camera right and was fired&#013;<br \/>\nthrough a large 80cm Lastolite soft box. This gave a large volume of soft light&#013;<br \/>\nideal for Jess and the sleeping beauty feel I was after. Flash 2 was positioned&#013;<br \/>\ncamera left and was used as a rimlight to separate Jess&#8217;s legs from the dark&#013;<br \/>\nbackground. It was fitted with a small grid to confine the light to her legs&#013;<br \/>\nand not spill onto sofa or background.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Shot<\/strong><br \/>\nJess has many talents. Sadly, levitation is not one of them. This is a&#013;<br \/>\ntwo-shot setup and I now understand fully what it&#8217;s like to have someone across&#013;<br \/>\na barrel. The first shot was taken with Jess lying on a large plastic barrel that&#013;<br \/>\nwas supporting her in the small of her back. Her right foot received extra&#013;<br \/>\nstability from a small chair. Once all the elements were balanced in position,&#013;<br \/>\nI took the shot. All props were then moved out of the scene and another shot was&#013;<br \/>\ntaken.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Post Processing<\/strong><br \/>\nThe two shots I had were opened into one document in Photoshop, one on&#013;<br \/>\ntop of the other. The image without Jess and the props was on the bottom layer.&#013;<br \/>\nI created a mask layer for the top shot of Jess and as I mask off (or delete)&#013;<br \/>\nthe area where you can see the barrel it reveals the underlying image of the&#013;<br \/>\nsofa shot without the barrel. Illusion created.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>It was a fantastic experience. I set the&#013;<br \/>\nbar conceptually very high, but thanks to a very patient and willing model I&#013;<br \/>\ngot what I wanted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<\/p>\n<p>Find out how to <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/forums\/showthread.php?112602-Forum-competition-2014-Rules-and-Themes\">enter<\/a> the 2014 competition&#013;\n<\/p>\n<p>Look at all the <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/photo-gallery\/showgallery.php?cat=1401\">entries<\/a> for this round&#013;\n<\/p>\n<p>Read all <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/forums\/showthread.php?116357-June-14-COMMENTS-MF-COMP-quot-My-Favourite-Image-quot\">comments<\/a> for this round&#013;\n<\/p>\n<p>Leave your <a href=\"http:\/\/amateurphotographer.co.uk\/forums\/showthread.php?117275-My-Favourite-Image-June-2014-Competition-Results&amp;p=1268700#post1268700\">comments<\/a> for winning pictures for this round<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forum competition results for the June 2014 round &#8211;
