Topic: Filmwaster​s: Collaborat​ion #39 - "My World Is..."

[Ed Wenn]

--------------------------------------------
Theme: ""My World Is..."
--------------------------------------------

We're back for another collaboration and we hope that you're ready to get creative with your interpretation of this particular theme. Remember to please include a sentence or two about why you chose this particular photo. There is no 'time served' rule with these collaborations so don't worry if you only registered with us a week ago. Conversely, if you registered 6 years ago, but haven't visited the site site for the last 5, that doesn't matter either. Join in. The work we receive is always diverse and high-quality and the more people that get involved, the better the resulting gallery will be.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission Deadline:  Sunday, 20th November 2016
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basic requirements:

JPEG Requirements: One JPEG image.  Not larger than 800 pixels in length or width. No more than 200kb.

PLEASE use ONLY your name in the image file (e.g. "Standen Develop.jpg")

1. A sentence or two about why you chose this particular photo.

Thank you Becki, Ed and everyone at FW. Picture sent, didn't have to think about it too much.

[Aksel]

This is super cool! Thank you all for making it happen   

[Late Developer]

The obvious would be a portrait of my wife but she refuses, point-blank, to allow me top do this.  Therefore, I'll have to think a bit more sideways-on.....

[Indofunk]

Didn't think I'd be able to come up with one for the theme I was thinking of, but I bent the rules ever-so-slightly and found one that works 

[Sandeha Lynch]

Sent.

[rpavich]

Image sent, thanks!

I'm still struggling to come up with an original idea

I was in a similar rut, but then what I did was to just scroll through all my latest "best" images with the theme in mind and one of them popped out as being relevant. YMMV.

That was pretty much my own MO.

I must admit that this is a hard one. I'm waiting to find the willingness to go to some place for a night shot. But if that doesn't come out as good as I thought, that's pretty much all I'll be stuck with.

A night shot, so you're going for "my world is dark"?

Dammit, now I want to shoot an unlit street on a moonless night at f/32 and 1/2000" and say "my world is completely black"

1 second at f/1.8 in full sunshine...

I have to say that this was one of the only real ideas I had for this difficult subject, but it was at least in part due to the fact that as soon as I saw the opening phrase I couldn't help but think of one of my favorite Rolling Stones songs. Ultimately I rejected the idea, however, as feeling entirely too Yoko Ono.

I got my idea after telling the good lady wife that I was stuck and she reminded of a conversation we had years ago around a similar subject at a friends dinner party and what I said touched her (she doesn't think I'm that deep) and I instantly got it.
 "Behind every great (?) man........"

[Bryan]

Just sent in my submission, can't wait to see everyone's photos. 

[Diane Peterson]

Sent! Eager for the great unveiling!

[astrobeck]

Just a reminder the deadline is rapidly approaching!

[Francois]

I just finished a roll last night. I just hope there's something good on it and that the lab can process it fast enough....
This sure ain't the usual Francois processing speed.

[Late Developer]

Just sent mine.

[astrobeck]

Me too

 

[Ezzie]

My contribution is in the (e)mail

[Francois]

Incredible... I had a hare brained idea, I thought I miscalculated the exposure, I thought the lady at the drugstore misplaced my order (she was new), have been biting my nails for four days before getting the film, paid too much for processing. But in the end it worked!

So mine is in too

Francois - some days your the bug, some days your the windscreen....

[Francois]

So far, this was definitely the hardest collaboration I've done so far...

[Ed Wenn]

Hi All, thanks for all the submissions so far.

I'll almost certainly not get a chance to get the gallery online tonight, but I should have time on Monday....so, if anyone needs an extra 24 hours then go for it.
