MPC # 6, Minimal. 10/5-10-10/19/2007

I think you just took a picture of what Hell actually looks like.

That was the idea!

I'll bite. It doesn't feel as minimal as some pictures (like the lightbulb) but it's the best I can come up with

Overexposed Night at the Park

I didn't take this specifically for the contest, but after seeing it, I thought it looked pretty minimal. Plus, I am tired of submitting nothing just because I don't find the time or don't like my results. This is a very overexposed night shot. It was an accident, but I thought it looked kind of cool. It is as bright as it is because of a large light source to the left of the frame - hence the long shadows.

Moderate sharpening and bumped the saturation a little bit.
edit: The horizon looks a little crooked, but there is a rise to the right

I like it. Eerie.

Not eligible- taken last X-Mas. I wanted to participate in this one, but I have been super busy with the baby. This is my idea of minimal:







Here is the minimal little thing that is burning my time up. I couldn't be happier:

In the case of the penny, since I exempted that shot, I'll talk about it (I wouldn't want to bias the view on some of my other shots at this point). I was thinking (more literally) that it's the minimal amount of US currency. Of course some of the other ideas above my apply as well.....

Nice, I had only thought of it as minimal in the sense that it was a shot of one thing, not about the monetary value aspect of it. Very nice. I didn't notice too much noise like you mentioned above. There's maybe a little in the penny pic but I can't see any in the hall.

dbp - digging it.

To go along with the hell theme - minimally of course

I hope the deadline is midnight mountain time, I got home tonight and realized I was going to miss it.

A pillar I found in a pile of concrete at the lake. It was pretty hard getting it to stand up like this, but I had a lot of fun shooting it.



Provo Bay.



A piece of the jetty.



Great entries from everyone this time. In the interest of full disclosure the sunset pic was taken within the deadline but uploaded the morning after when I realized my previous entry was ineligible.

Fuck! I'm drunk but i'm not late.

The first post says they have to be taken between certain dates, not posted between those dates. These were taking yesterday but I didn't get back home until today.

[ninjabirdman]

junker, that's a great shot! is that a shadow or a sillouhette behind the blind?

these two aren't for the contest, they were taken today. i had just gotten a new flash and was experimenting and was thinking of this theme while i was shooting, so i thought i'd put up two i was happy with.
