Photo-Off: Contrast

Scene (and Herd)

Nikon D70 - 85mm fixed lens; 1/60 at f/4.5; ISO 640.

So I went with the technical interpretation of the theme: Black and white; it doesn't get more contrasty than that! I stuck these plastic zebras on a piece of white posterboard, propped against the living room couch, my ghetto version of a seamless background. Our large picture window provided the natural light, and voila. Zebras. LOL.

There's also this one, on which I went to town with shallow depth of field:

Kind of random, but oh well! We were sick around here! ;-)

Mary, your Photo-Off challenge for next week is (*drum, drum, drum, drum, drum, drum*) Street. Have at it!

Sister, i LOVE these pictures!! i see these types of pictures on flickr all the time, and i just think wow! i would love to be able to take photos like these, they are just so interesting.

i really like the posterboard, making the contrast between the black + white even more prominant. good job RCH.

i'm stoked for my challenge! wee!
