Jen's Eye
Darts anyone?
Posted by Jen (Alpharetta, United States) on 13 March 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
The dark bar and the spotlight on the dartboard really caught my eye, so of course I had to take a picture or two : D
I have uploaded some of my favorite images to redbubble for sale http://www.redbubble.com/people/jenseye

Yvon from Meerkerk, Netherlands
The light is incredible and makes and ordinary dartboard very special. I love the angle and the framing.

Having such a good eye for spotting the potential of what is right in front of us yields us more good shots than having the talent to conceive and set up such shots....and it's more fun too. I always feel a little sheepish when taking pictures of the apparently mundane, feeling an urge to tell all around, "No, no, really....you won't believe how this is going to look."

@Mike Cash: The ordinary can be extraordinary...just gotta keep your eyes open!
Thank you very much for your comments and encouragement!
Stu from Kyoto, Japan
Ha! Totally with Mike on this one. Seeing a shot in the mundane is where the genius in photography is. This is a great example Jen!

@Stu: I got a few odd looks in the bar when I started shooting, but I would have kicked myself if I didn't take the pictures : D
You are very kind! Thank you Stu!!
Daroru from Osaka, Japan
Lighting and colour are great! Did you arrange those darts...?
13 Mar 2007 2:16pm
@Daroru: No, it's where they landed...most of the other shots ended up in the wooden wall behind the dartboard lol!
@Reza: Thank you Reza!
@Wayne: Thanks Wayne!

@bronzebilly u.k.: You are very right...I hit the wall behind the board more than the board! Good thing I can take pictures 'cause I sure can't play darts! LOL! Thanks for your visit Billy, you always make me smile!!

Great shot, the fins on the darts look incredible!

@DTW: You can actually read the name brand on the fins.
Thanks for the visit!

Fred from Easton PA, United States
Now that's a good one, dramatic lighting, vivid color on a black back ground and the detail is very crisp and clean. Not only is this a great photo but it give me the urge to go out and down a few frosty mugs !
Nice work.
14 Mar 2007 3:57pm
@Fred: LOL! I had a few while I was there...probably why that was my best shot : D!
