OcUK Photo Comp - Season Nine : Round Five - "Fever" DISCUSSION

Got an entry in.

There's 2 possible links to the theme. Football Fever (World Cup) and/or Hayfever.

Not sure I've made it that clear in the photograph though

Election fever, dance fever, fever-dream (abstract?), teen fever(!)...

Just throwing ideas out there as I'm struggling.

Yellow Fever (Where I'll take a self portrait)
Scarlet Fever (Where I'll take a self portrait drooling over Scarlett Johansson)

These are some of my ideas which I had, laughed at them and said no.

Cabin Fever is what I was going to have a go at, but haven't got the time\space for what I wanted to try.

Mud · 16 May 2010 at 15:44

That's a good one, sounds prop-intensive though!

Mark A · 16 May 2010 at 16:24

Yeah I was thinking of cabin fever as well. Had an idea in my head of an old cabin with some sort of yellow lighting coming through the window, but would have needed it to be foggy to work best. Or just an empty forest on a foggy day, with a winding road going into the distance.

I think I'll wait till next month and hope its something a bit easier.

Nice one; although the kid who looks like Tarzan on the left of the shot is hilarious!

Its a bit of a marmite shot for me. Sometimes I look at it and i like the activity going on. Then i think the focus is taken away from the main focal point (centre) by that guy with his shirt off. I quite like a few things then dont like others so i dunno what to think about it :confused:

Overall I'm happy with the 'moment' i captured though albiet the wrong one from my point of view

DiG · 18 May 2010 at 19:46

Well, I've got an entry in, not great but reflects my life at the moment! For the same reason I doubt it will change

Derek W · 21 May 2010 at 22:13

quite liking sketch145's. Mosquito I presume?

The_Abyss · 22 May 2010 at 20:14

Seeing as I'm getting rid of it shortly, I thought I'd shoehorn my fruit machine into a gambling fever theme. Hopefully at least one of the judges will have played one to understand what's going on...

PaulStat · 23 May 2010 at 16:15

Anyone got a foot fetish?

What do people think, clone out the mole or not?

Edit: Decided to give it a bit of a crop and get rid of the mole

I know in my head the image i want, but i dont know how to get it, i think i need some extension tubes for the 50mm f1.8...

Had a mad hour or so this afternoon trying to come up with something. Didn't want to miss a month if I could help it.

Willis · 28 May 2010 at 23:53
