Yes. Or collapsing into a whimpering piece of meat.

here is my crime scene

[..]

you know its a crime to throw a perfectly good beer away

The real crime is rather Guinness filled up in a bottle.

After much deliberation over what I wanted to do for this contest and what would be feasible to accomplish, I came up with this scenario.

I give you my crime scene photo:




I took this using my Sony Steady Shot digital camera. I used the lighting that I have in my living room placed behind and to the right of the subject matter and the self-timer on my camera. I used a soft focus without a flash since the point wasn't to be able to read the bottles, just to see that they were there.

I then took the picture into photoshop and adjusted it to black and white. I like the "shocking" effect that black and white can give to a picture...that and it's totally classic.

And yes, I do like Jack...especially mixed with a bit of Apple Pie Liquor and coke.

That is a very good photo Jamianne!! Very nicely done!!

Nice one Jamianne! I agree, black and white adds a lot of grit and mood with the subject matter. Another added benefit is that the high ISO you used looks more like film grain in black and white.

so far two good shots and one joke shot, I am kind of surprised at the little that has been posted since the last one had a lot of good pics. hopefully I can think of something a little more real to post before this one comes to a close

Booo! Booo!

Booo! Booo!

I take it I won't get your vote

[mr_charisma]

The main reason is that in the last contest, the subject matter was everywhere*, so less planning was needed. Since most of us here don't usually experience crime scenes in our day to day, so we need to do more planning. Hopefully a few more photos are entered before the contest closes.

* Everywhere in the northern hemisphere.
