Assignment: "What's in your refrigerator?" July 14 - 28

[Saralonde]

This week: Continuing with the kitchen theme,"What's in your refrigerator?" Leftovers, dessert, or perhaps a forgotten science experiment?

I tried this yesterday with my camera in the fridge using my widest angle lens (17-55) and a remote. The light in the fridge seemed to be enough, though I'm not sure blackberries solved my sweet tooth problem as well as the cake could have!

Camera Canon EOS 7D

As always, rules:

Just a note to new posters: DO NOT start a new thread for your post. Please just hit the reply button at the bottom of any current post and put your image there.

1. Your original image you submit should be taken between the 14th of July and the 28th of July. Each week as an assignment closes on the Wednesday, it will be AUTOMATICALLY deemed *CLOSED* after 8am GMT ( 3am EST) and any posts after that time will not be eligible for the assignment competition. Don't wait until the last minute to post!

2. Your post must include "What's in your refrigerator?" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above). It must be an original image taken by you.

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (740px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.

For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

7. If you are looking for the winners of the mini-contest, please check the front page of the DPS blog Saturday late afternoon (EST) and here.

Next week: We are going to work on capturing motion blur for a few weeks. "Water in Motion" will be our first challenge. Waterfalls come to mind, but there are other outdoor and indoor subjects you can try.

Okay, I was first last time. Now I just look like an overachiever. LOL Really, I just happen to be getting on the computer just as the new assignment starts.

Now this is an assigment I´m looking forward to! The theme is quite limited so you have to be very creative to make a photo that stands out. I think it will be a lot of fun to see what you people can make out of this!

The Thing in the Refrigerator


You just never know what you'll find when you look in my fridge.
I used two flashes in the fridge, one bounced off the back and ceiling of the fridge, and one bounced off the wall behind me. I took this about twenty times trying to get everything right. I had to stop my aperture down to f/22 to keep both myself and the foreground in focus, and because of the small aperture I had to add the second flash to light the wall behind me. Besides converting to jpg, this is straight out of the camera with no editing.

I've had this idea since the moment I saw this week's topic (last week). Its been seriously post processed, because
1. I only own a single gremlin soft toy
2. I needed to use a flash to get nice light on the inside of the fridge, but wanted the outside dark to give the feel of it being after midnight
3. I don't own a alarmclock like the one I added in on top of the fridge so had to find an old photo (does that make this entry ineligible?) of one and blend in a photo of my microwave showing the right time

I'm in two minds about if I should crop it. On the one hand it does seem a little unbalanced as is, but if I crop it too tightly I loose the whole "darkness" feel to it and it took my way too long to achieve that to just throw it ways :-) I'd appreciate thoughts on that though feel free to PM me if you don't want to put it in the thread. - Decided on the cropped version when my sister told me she didn't notice the Gizmo's at first!

The exif info here is the same for all of them except the old alarm clock and the microwave time oh and the flash did not fire for the dark background photo.
