Elvis Martinez challenges you n°5

87 29

Sorry everyone, I was in West Africa in December, and the return in Paris has been quite tough, took me a month to come back to real life… Thanks anyway to all of you who asked for more challenges, here it comes again.

The theme for this new challenge is BOATS.

Just like for previous challenges, just dig in your photo library and create an album of your archives.

Real boats…

Boat objects…

Anything boat :D and how you like them shot, cause they’re quite hard to shoot in my opinion, don’t you think?

Spinning on a small boat gives sweet but weird render

Check the 2nd comment below for my boat album
Your turn :)

Not fair! With a gallery like that why would i even bother? :( Awesome photos brother! Yeah but try to stop me!

@pangmark if you create a boat album you have the right to decide what the next theme will be :)
ghidini · 2012-01-12 16:34
no thanks. After your album from Africa I feel sorrow and shame for all my boats (and other) photos
elvismartinezsmith · 2012-01-12 16:39
@ghidini please don't, except the recent ones from Africa I don't really like my boat shots. Perspectives are so hard to render nicely on film, I would love to see your visions of how to shoot these
quaisoir · 2012-01-12 16:40
@artichekt wow...nice gallery of horizon boat shots!!
ghidini · 2012-01-12 16:45
Just a joke, I'll do it. For sure.
But this bloke @artichekt has such an awesome album

Well here's mine. A little bit obscure I know, I'll have to go out and take some boat pics. www.lomography.com/homes/pangmark/albums/1795572-elvis-mart…
New challenge idea.. A) steps/stairs B) i know self portraits are commonplace but how about ugly, unflattering selfies? B) last one in keeping it French.. sillhouettes
adam_g2000 · 2012-01-13 01:50
I was very fortunate to spend this Christmas Day on a boat in the Hauraki Gulf in Auckland. It was a 40ft or so Motor Yacht and therefore had the opportunity to shoot a perspective I'm not used to. From inside a boat. www.lomography.com/homes/adam_g2000/albums/1795754-elvis-ma…

Thanks brother. Well for the most varied results I'll have to go with stairs/steps. I was inspired by some interesting shots by our Lomo friends. I'l have to go and shoot some now eh?
elvismartinezsmith · 2012-01-13 09:36
@pangmark, well no need to hurry, let's give time to all those who want to take part in the boat challenge and we'll go stairs :)

Great theme! I'll get started...
nacarilegea · 2012-01-13 11:27
Great topic! Happy New Year to all!! :)
I think that if you can get enough close to the boat it's nice to take the perspective from down to upwards. I also love general views from harbours and horizont photos with the sun in front of the camera and very far boat somewhere :). But the most difficult pix are when you are inside!!

@elvismartinezsmith nice challenge; count me in! i've just arrived in a small fishermen's-village-like town on the northwest coast of wales to study there for one semester. so, if you give me some more days, i'll come up with tons of boat photos. ;-P

so many impressive shots have been posted already. this is what i've got so far:
