This was my first competition entry that hasn’t been ZX Spectrum-related. “OverXposed To The Sun(down)” caused RC55, the party-organiser, a little worry considering the title. It’s actually my attempt at something like “clever photography”, and happened almost by accident. I was playing with my video camera and took a few still shots while the camera was moving, resulting in some blur (oddly enough) and it gave me an idea.
I borrowed LaesQ’s rather nice camera, set the exposure to about 10 seconds, and… waved it around while taking a photo. The idea was to get a nice “S” (for “Sundown”, you see) from the various light sources, and it went rather well, especially as you can see the whole party-place with relatively little blur.
The photo came something like 6th, which sucks, as I’m better than everyone else, and I smell pretty. Or something. Ah hell, the winning entry was a really nice photo anyway, so props to the winner, although oddly with competitions like this… where do the entries end up?
