Photo Comp: Mar 2011 "Revisited"

[RiK]

Right folks, the winner of the Feb comp was Fil and he's come up with a great theme for March which should give us a great opportunity to show how our photography is improving.

This month's theme is 'Revisited', and here's how Fil described it to me..

My idea was to have people reshoot an old picture, maybe showcase how far they've come or shoot under different conditions or add a new twist to the original photo

So for this one, it's going to be best if you post two images in your entry, with both the original shot, and the new updated one for comparison. I'll get Fil to add a post as his example.

Fil's shortlist:

PFVA, RiK and Ratsoap.

Ratsoap was a little late but i'm letting him off. Sorry Meow, your pictures look suspiciously like two photos taken at the same time, not really in the spirit of the theme.

PFVA - House on the Cliff:


RiK - Second Severn Crossing:


Ratsoap - Self portrait:

Poll will run until the end of the month.

usual rules apply.

Here's an example of what I mean.




I'm sure you guys can be more creative than that though.

I had an idea, but it is of the "go straight to hell" variety.

Find a photo of ex. Take current partner to same spot...

Only question is: Do I add a 6 foot by 2 foot area of disturbed earth?

[PFVA]

That has been a difficult one for me. Lots of my pics are flowers and cats.

March last year, The House on the Cliff, my favorite of the Estoril big houses



A few days ago, taken a few steps further ahead, and focusing on the cliffs rather than on the Estoril sky line which i had done in the previous one



Note: The day was different too, it was slightly foggy last year, and this year was very sunny, (and warm)

[RiK]

Hokay then, here's mine...

The second severn crossing...

Bit late, but the clocks go back this weekend, so it probly still counts. Bit crap, but it's all I could do in the time.

[RiK]

Err, yeah. i see what you did there.

Actually, on further inspection it does seem a *little* odd, that the lighting, shadows and clouds in the two pics seem to suggest they were taken in pretty much identical conditions and at almost exactly the same time of day..

As I'm entering it wouldn't be appropriate for me to make an executive decision on this one so I'll leave it to Fil to choose a shortlist of at least two pics then please.

PFVA, RiK and Ratsoap.
