Turn Me Off (centre)

Trying to be even more clever than Paul D ;-)

I've been doing really dull stuff on my holiday like fitting light switches and electrical work.
Inspiration struck me on the last day of the challenge!


other sizes: small medium large original auto

Ah! The blurred boundry between the photograph and the boarder. I like how the lower boarder darkens with the shadow of your sons hand! Where does the photo end and the boarder begin?

Absolutely Brilliant Iso. How sneaky to throw it in towards the end of the challenge and give us nothing to aspire to lol!!

Wow...today was so dull in London i'm amazed you got such good even bright light. Don't worry about the 'artefacts' - they are only visible in 'Original' size if you look close.

No lighting secrets here. Just daylight coming in through my patio doors. Hand held camera. Took a few snaps of my son playing with the new switch. That's it! <br.Brown artifacts? Can't see those on my monitor. Are you looking at the original size image, or one of Pbase's compressed ones? Is your screen depth set lower than 24bit? You were seeing blocks on pops flag image in the last challenge. I couldn't. Just a theory.

Iso, and I thought we'd heard the last from you in this Challenge :) Very good - like the trademark negative space and colourful image. Glad I inspired you to be clever ;) I was hoping to do something with an 'Off' switch for the challenge being off center or in the center, but try finding something decent that has Off - everything has 'On' or nothing! Like the colours and the frame and the lighting - perhaps you'll share lighting secrets after challenge! Nice one. Only criticism (v. minor) are a couple of 'brown looking' artefacts that seem to be there/crept in - would have thought you could clone out. Pauld
