OK I know I said that I would put the watch away..and I will...I will. But, I had an imperfect image that I quite liked the idea of. So with a reshoot being out of the question, he's at his Nans and he kept complaining his arms were aching (although I don't see that an hour and a half in that position is too demanding) I tried for a grainy, contrasty Ilford ASA 400 look.

Re: Master of Time
Okay, I'll bite.
Imperfect how? The fact that the watch and hands aren't sharply focused?
Cheers,
Rick

Re: Master of Time
Rick, the lighting was all off. I was shooting through a brolly that was way to close to the subject and was putting the lower part of the face into shadow. The backlighting was too low and too harsh and if I had sat on he cat and and accidentally microwaved the hamster I couldn't have had a worse session. The problem is I get too carried away with the idea and get slip shod with the tech bits (hence the three children
)

Re: Master of Time
Thanks, Steve. Having the upper part of the face highlighted actually seems a plus to me: it brings attention to the eyes, which brings attention to the watch, which ties the whole thing together. But I see that it rather changes the story from "child with watch" to "watch thrown by child" or "activity by child."

Re: Master of Time
But Steve - what was it you were trying for? Face totally lit, background evenly lit - right. How would that have changed the meaning/s of the image? I don't understand.
I like the way it is. Looks like those classic works of art the past masters used to make.
