No pr0n, fine art nude is what we are after. Yes, there is a difference.

And to all those who voted - I trust you will be submitting!

[gunsella]

woah that was disorienting. i just clicked on the link in your sig and ended up exactly where i was... like an intervortex.

[btwong]

so can we have like silhouettes, reflections, painted, B&W, etc, shots, but in a tasteful manner?

If people are willing to model for me, I'd be quite happy to enter.


And, for a change, I'm not being salacious. Well, not very anyway........

Definitions of salacious on the Web:

* lubricious: characterized by lust; "eluding the lubricious embraces of her employer"; "her sensuous grace roused his lustful nature"; "prurient literature"; "prurient thoughts"; "a salacious rooster of a little man"
* lewd: suggestive of or tending to moral looseness; "lewd whisperings of a dirty old man"; "an indecent gesture"; "obscene telephone calls"; "salacious limericks"

You're a dirty old man aren't you scathing? :)

I can't wait to see the entries for this... to wonder how people do it.

I think something like this would be so hard to make 'tasteful' and 'not porn'... beyond the obvious black/white which just lacks creativity.

No, I don't have a submission for this competition.



I just think that this would be a really hard photo comp... I wonder if you'd end up with more or less submissions than normal.

I had an idea, which involved a calculator.... but I'm lazy.

[imp]

So black and white pics lack creativity but you won't even submit? How is THAT creative? Don't knock it if you won't try it.

=-']Its much easier to be a critic :)

Yeah, it is.
I just lack the talent... I like and appreciate art, but I don't paint... I like photography, but I'm not interested in taking more than happy snaps with my camera (I lack a steady hand - except landscapes, I *love* landscapes and occasionally i try to capture something that just makes me gasp...). I love sculptures, but I don't sculpt.

I love things with colours in it... I used to be part of an online community called 'naked parts' and when the photo was bad, people would just make it black and white to make it look 'arty' and 'creative'...

There were occasionally some stunning ones, where only one colour, like blue from someones eyes, or red from a ribbon were shown, but the rest was black and white... and I really loved that contrast and the highlight

but in general, the majority of the black and white photos were 'meh', someone who thought they were good, but really didn't 'have it'...

Generally, B&W is used by people to turn normal shots into something they can call "art".

They forget that a boring photo is a boring photo - no matter how many photoshop filters you run, or if you make it B&W.

It will be interesting to see what gets submitted.

Yes it will.

I doubt though turning a pic to B&W automaticaly turns it into a "Cliche" nude.
What's the big deal anyways? It's a photo comp. No big deal.

AAaaaanyways, let's get back on topic :)

Personaly, I find B&W quite subtle and complimenting.

[badpauly]

Yes it will.
I doubt though turning a pic to B&W automaticaly turns it into a "Cliche" nude.

If that is all that is done, then yes, it's a cliched nude shot.

1. Take photo of tits
2. Change colour mode to greyscale
3. Title it "A black & white exploration of a nude"

That isn't art.

Submit or don't, who cares?

*looks up a few posts*

A few people seem to care that Sapia isn't.

[Sanura]

Anyone in Brisbane willing to model for me? I have some great ideas, but they would always be easier if I was setting someone else up for the photo rather than myself... hell, I will even keep faces out if that is needed. :D

Edit: anyone who poses for me can have a signed photo print afterwards.. I do intend to become famous one day ya know...

So if someone takes a B&W nude it's automatically cliche? So If I don't have a camera that does B&W and have to get it converted to B&W (b/c I'd prefer a nude of me in that sort of light) it's cliche?

My mistake. Excuse me for showing interest in this thread and expressing that I'd like to be part of something artisitic and beautiful.

[Sanura]

My mum thinks I paint good ;)

Actually, on a little bit of a tangent, my partner and I were in a mobile phone shop the other day because I was buying my new phone... and when I walked away for a bit he said that he mentioned to the sales assistant that I was an artist.. she asked if I was famous and he said yes (for who knows what reason).. to which she apparently replied 'oh yes, she looks a bit like that doesn't she'... hehehehe

He is such a naughty monkey. To tell truth, I am happy to not be overly famous, but at least be well known in the art world (to the point of my art selling for bucket loads of cash). :D :D :D

how about sepia

Oh, the fancy B&W! :)

If the photo is good, it doesn't need to be messed with. Thinking a change in the colour range will save a shitty photo is where people mess up.

A crappy/boring/unimaginative photo remains that. Trying to save it with a colour change is a mistake a lot of people make.

If it is a good shot, then by all means convert it to B&W.

Its always a bit like that isn't it.

I had this fantastic idea of photographing my feet in the shower.... just because for some reason water running over my feet evokes memories for me.
but I was too scared of getting my camera wet.


would have been so easier if someone else was actually in the shower :D

Well as my post stated, I'm not talking about coverting crap photos to B&W, just that i'd feel more comfortable with nudes of myself taken in that light/colour scheme.
That's all. I've done nudes before and in my experience I prefer B&W. I'm sure some people would prefer colour photos of their naked body but they probably have more confidence than myself.

I understand a bad shot doesn't = a good shot in B&W. Any moron can tell you that.

[lostreality]

my camera has the option to take photos in b&w and sepia and not forgetting FULL bloody colour, OMFGWOWOWOW!!!!two!!1

but on a serious note does it have to be of ladies breasts? and do the breasts have to be bare?

[dozer]

i think the theme is open to interpretation.

im guessing the subject will make the winner of this one ;)

[astro]

For me, a photo that is taken in black and white and lit accordingly from the word go can be more intense than a colour pic. Getting light to dance off a naked body while shot in colour is easy - doing the same thing while being limited to black and white is a harder endeavour. There's something about it that says "Hey, i've put a lot of effort into taking this shot and making it look good".

[Glompbot]

What type of camera do you have?

To this I'd say no. Why should they have to be bare? A lovely bra can make the breasts.

Actually 'make' is the wrong word... enhance is a better word.


*edit* I just had an idea.... pity it says boobies, and not 'breasts'

cause you could do some funny shit with chicken breasts and make that an entry :P

Some of the more amazing photos I've seen in my time have been taken with compacts, or even pinhole cameras.

What megapixel is it?

mine is 5, but it always comes out a tad grainy... I don't know why. (Its a cannon IXUS 500)

[dozer]

try setting the iso to as low as possible

[Glompbot]

Yeah, I've not really played with the manual settings on it, as I said, I only really use it for happy snaps.

I do know how to change the iso though, I might give that a try and take a photo of a few things on my desk to see how it turns out, thanks dozer :D

*edit* once the goddamned freaking battery recharges!

[badpauly]

try setting the iso to as low as possible
My thoughts exactly. Althought it is a fake "ISO" setting anyway :)

You should see the grain when I set mine to ISO 1600!

[Glompbot]

Grainy pictures can be charming....

[jak]

If it is a crappy photo, yeah.

A crappy/boring/unimaginative photo remains that. Trying to save it with a colour change is a mistake a lot of people make.

If it is a good shot, then by all means convert it to B&W.

Actually many photographers shoot B&W for the simple reasons of:
- its *far* more flattering (makes the subject (person) more appealing)
- tonal range/ contrast
- colours maybe boring. if the colours are bland/flat then B&W can hugely lift the shot
- skin tones look more natural
- lighting. With stark lighting, you can create dramatic shots that just dont cut it when in colour.

So I think it is possible to make a relatively boring shot better, but yes, the original shot needs to have something to begin with.

Have a look at some examples:

Ansel Adams (http://www.anseladams.com/Ansel-Adams-Exclusives-C293.aspx?UserID=1409575&SessionID=IFvIAx1VIZTY5gzjiYOn)

Frances Andrijich (http://www.andrijich.com.au/portrat3.htm) (the Heath Ledger shot is one of my all time favourites).

Richard Avedon (http://www.metmuseum.org/special/se_event.asp?OccurrenceId=%7B36C7411F-EEF8-11D5-9414-00902786BF44%7D) (we saw this exibition - he is easily the best portrait photographer I have ever seen - I have a huge print of his Marilyn Monroe shot hanging on my wall!).

My girlfriend is a photographer and she will *always* shoot both colour and B&W whenever she shoots a wedding. Even, um, average looking couples, can look stunning in B&W! :)

Try it yourself. Take a phot in colour of a person. Bump up the contrast, convert to gray scale. You *will* look better. Simple fact. :)

[dozer]

just hurry up and post last months shots jak

[jak]

*edit* once the goddamned freaking battery recharges!

If you are shooting your "desk", then I am guessing you are inside, in poor light. If you shoot in Auto with the flash off, the camera will automatically increase the sensitivity (ISO) to allow the correct exposure. This is fine, except the by product is the introduction of noise (not so much grain).

Of course converting to B&W, will make that noise look grainy - and maybe kind of cool. :)

Can shoot 3200 ISO with my camera - thats very fast and very very noisy!

it is a 4 mega pixel camera.

this is an example of an untouched photo that i had to take for a jewellery site (http://www.lostreality.co.uk/S4010005.JPG)

its a bit dark because we coudnt use the flash as it would glare on the diamonds. I had no problem in brightening it in photoshop/fireworks.

the camera was set to Fine in a huge resolution 2048*something

Major point - Those guys all work in film. B&W tonal ranges are always better with film. Unless you work in 16/32bit digital, you lose a lot of the original range converting to B&W.

Try it yourself. Take a phot in colour of a person. Bump up the contrast, convert to gray scale. You *will* look better. Simple fact. :)

If you want to make someone look beter, shoot in IR. That is a fact.

Also, those above point also work in reverse. I have seen a lot of photos made worse in the conversion from colour to B&W.

I'm not doing a total poo-poo on B&W, since I've shot both, and in digital as well as colour, and exhibited some of them. I've also round-filed shots from the same shoot.

Subject is what matters.

Unless you are heading into digital artistry, then it doesn't always matter as much - but that isn't what this thread is about.

[badpauly]

This is fine, except the by product is the introduction of noise (not so much grain).

If you are shooting digital, there is no grain, only noise. Any mention of grain is just talking about noise.

The transition between film and digital has made a lot of mix-ups like this. And stoopid companies trying to out-market each other have only added to the confusion.

[dozer]

shoot people in IR? you mean with an IR filter?

[badpauly]

shoot people in IR? you mean with an IR filter?

Yes, either shoot with an IR filter on IR film, or with an IR filter and a DIGI-SLR that does OK IR shots.

Or shoot people in Industrial Relations, it's up to you.

IR photography doesn't come cheap though, outfitting just 3 of my lenses is looking like a $300+ outlay.

[dozer]

im not sure if youve done much IR before but youre looking at over 1min exposure times and i cant see that being really good for portraits. i know some people like them but id prefer b&w. you also need to do plenty of adjustment from the raw file to get something decent.

a cokin filter and adaptors would only set you back $100 and all you would need is the adaptors and you can use the same filter.

Long exposures are fine. Especially with an f1.8 lens, speeds things up a bit.

The bigger of the lenses is the big problem, $160-$180 just to get an IR lens for it. The adapters cost as much as the other lenses would to get them seperate IR filters.

It's not at the top of the purchase list yet though.

[dozer]

youre still looking at over 1min exposures at that aperture and thats with super bright lights, the shots turn out blurred with plenty of shake. the other thing is that water doesnt reflect IR so the eyes come out as dark blobs, not the best for sharp portraits but it does create some interesting effects.

not sure what you mean here but i think you mean filters. all you need is a cokin adaptor and you can use the same filter. they go right up to 82mm. i use the same IR filter on all my lenses and just have an adaptor for each size. if you go for the screw fit hoya filters then yes you will need one filter for each lens but cokin does the job just as good, the leak is hardly noticeable.

[Glompbot]

What exactly is IR?

[Hairyman]

Infra-red.

If you have some of the Canon DSLRs you have to make physical mods to the camera body. I think there is some sort of filter to suppress IR as a part of general noise reduction.

I suspect that it would be a pretty generic problem for digital cameras.

IR photography cerainly does lend an "other worldliness" to the shot.

I think you also need to make some focussing adjustments - or am I thinking about something else?? :shrug:

[dozer]

IR = infra red, mainly used for nature as it picks up 'invisible' light

http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/infrared/

[dozer]

all you need is a filter over your lens to stop other rays getting in and only captures the infrared.

Most cameras have filters to block out IR. On cheaper ones, it's just a bit of glass you can pull out, on others it can be a little harder.

There are sites out there that explain how well different cameras work with IR filters. Some also tell you how to make your own :)

Somethign to play with for people who want to experiment.

[Glompbot]

oh wow
IR looks awesome (looks at pics on google searches)
it has a totally different feel to black and white...

Otherworldly is definitely the right word for it!

They kind of look like negatives - but not.

Hey, I just picked up a gradual grey medium filter and a neutral density (ND8) filter last week - yet to try them out.

I have a Canon 10D - Hairman is correct. IR lenses/filters have issues. There is some good info on photo.net re. this.

since he isnt posting the shots for a week, i say snap boobies while you can and still post them to him.

OK, I am back. Have a wedding on today - so wont get a chance to post anything until tomorrow.

But because there is low number of entries and me being away, I will still take any submissions that anyone wants to send me. You have the weekend to sort it out!

Go ahead and shoot the photo this weekend if you want - will make an exception on late entries this round.

I decided not to send Jak my entry. I think ZGeek has seen enough of my bewbs :p Plus I couldn't get the lighting right for the shot.

Kudos to astro though. He's an awesome photographer. ;)

So basically you could post a picture of your own man boobs taken with a web cam and get points in this comp then....

I sent them to Jak. He's doing some work on them for me (they won't be entered though) :) Might post the picture later in the thread but not for the competition sake :) Just so I can show off Jak's work. :p

[badpauly]

Sounds like it will be a very small comp...

Pity, after all the posts it generated.

[jak]

I wont get a chance until tommorrow - I feel like shit today (home sick). (referring to imp's photo that is).

Entries going up now.....

[jak]

Does anyone besides Pirate have the ability to create subfolders (namely the August 2005 folder) for the photo comp folder in the image gallery?

http://gallery.zgeek.com/categories.php?cat_id=44&

[Glompbot]

Sorry dude.
jump on IRC and ask if buffy can?

[badpauly]

Are we waiting for more entries for this or is Jak being a slack mofo? ;)

[dozer]

will we ever see these photos?

[minorproblem]

Start the comp dammit!:p

[jak]

I am still waiting on the August folder to be created in the Zgeek gallery. Dont like to pester/annoy Pirate too much.

Thats it, will upload to the my personal gallery.

[jak]

Damnit, now my personal gallery wont allow me to upload - has the image gallery changed at all lately?

[jak]

When you get him to do the folder for this month, also get him to do the next 6 or so so you don't have to bug him again for a while :)

Yeah, I did ask - but he said that he was changing over to a new gallery - where I would have the ability to make folders myself. Hasnt happened yet.

:)

[Hippy Vindalou]

I think he has changed the galleries a bit but the personal galleries should still work, i just uploaded to mine.

[jak]

mine appears to be broken - doesnt matter, am using my personal site.

stand by

[jak]

OK, they are finally up!

[dozer]
