Picture of the Year 2008 Shortcut: COM:POTY/2008 The annual Picture of the Year competition is an event where the images that became Featured Pictures during the last year are voted by members from all of the Wikimedia projects, to produce a single Picture of the Year. The third Picture of the Year competition was voted on: Spadge UK ~ November – Halina 35-600 Date: 1970′s, Country: Hong Kong, Lens: 40mm f2.8 Halina Anastigmat, Film: Kodacolour 200Price paid: £4.99 (excl. postage: £4.95) This month has been a nightmare for planning photo-taking! With the clocks going back at the end of last month, it means that I arrive home from work in complete darkness. The weekends are often dull and rainy, and it seems my 100 ISO film collection just won’t cut the mustard. I have ordered 6 rolls of ISO 400 film ready for next month (and in time for my long-awaited Paris trip), which should remove most of the limitations caused by wintery weather. Anyway! This camera reminds me of my first ever film camera. The focus ring has only four settings, labelled with images varying from one person to a mountain. Whilst there is no built-in light meter; the aperture ring allows you to see and alter the setting when looking through the viewfinder. leaves feet roof

It is harder than being confronted by strangers or getting lost in the bad part of town or trying to focus manually with the Fuji X100. Just to clarify, for the purposes of this post, when I say editing I am referring to the process of selecting the images that “make the cut” and discarding the ones that don’t. My decision process when looking at one of my images usually goes something like this: “wow, this one is fantastic!…..maybe not…..well, it could be……ah.. whatever, I’m keeping it….. Since images have two elements, visual aesthetics and emotional content, I thought it would be good place to start by categorizing the images according to how much of each element it reveals to the viewer. Just like Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs, fulfilling the needs at the top has a more lasting effect and is a more powerful motivator. Cognitive Friction The term “complex” isn’t enough to describe if an image will be in the higher level. Comments
