I think I've broken just about every rule here:



1. Shot something with Cannon brand
2. Used manual extention tubes with a G lens
3. Heavily backlit without any fill in
4. Fly screen as background
5. 20 sec exposure without the use of remote
6. Used the idiot stick on the tripod instead of extending the legs
7. Composition is non existent

Can anyone add to this?

Ok, so what does this tell you about me? I'm an impatient lazy bastard who couldn't wait to try the just aquired extention tubes but couldn't be bothered setting things up properly.

The subject matter (watch) is chopped off at the bottom.

The background horizon isn't level



Countering all of that, the exposure is excellent, as are the colours. Well done; I like it; to my mind, it works.

Did you break any of the rules of physics or gravity?

If you can get a shot like this by being impatient then I am looking forward to when you are patient - nice shot BTW

Excellent, i like it. You are an artisitic rebel/anarchist.

Funny thing is that the joins of the flyscreen are playing havoc with my eyes. I keep seeing white dots in the middle of the joins, except when i look directly at it. Weird. Just like one of those 'impossible pictures.'

Brilliant stuff. Well done!!!

Wow, that's a 20 second exposure on (assumedly) a monopod...??? Wow, if I tried that I'd have a ghostly image!

Hands of steel!

Cheers,

Steve, I hope I don't have to put an epyleptic warning on this photo

Mudder, not a monopod, a tripod with the centre column right up, which is essentially almost a monopod.

Steve,

Blame me for that. When you weren't looking, I came around to your place and drilled minute holes into your monitor. What you're seeing is the light shining through those holes.

Gary,
I see you're still aiming for that Village... Hat... thing.

There's no rule against this. 3 n's are ok or even 4 (esp. since nnnnsic might be watching) it's only ca_o_ with 2 n's that's a no-no (which has 2 n's )

And the shot is interesting depite/because of broken rules. I really like the riot of colour in the shot.

You made time stand still!

Quite an amazing feat on a 20 Sec. exposure!

Kudos!

(I know, I know.)

Well, being a Cannon, naturally enough it wasn't working
