Welcome to the Final of the TiBB Photography Competition 2011! Two contestants remain - Jords and Shaun - who have given us some brilliant photos over the past 5 weeks, and have both done their very best this week in producing some top quality photos in the hope that one of them will win this award icon http://i51.tinypic.com/d0k1.png

So let's see their last photos of the competition!

Theme 1: Energy

http://i51.tinypic.com/2n0r3u1.png

Inspiration: Just 1 strike of a match creates a flame which gives out all of thermal, light and sound energy. But it’s just that slight burning flame that can cause a destructive blazing fire… quite amazing when you really think about it. I gave the photo a gothic edge to signal warning.

Theme 2: Chaos

http://i55.tinypic.com/2evwajr.png

Inspiration: I really struggled with this theme. A traffic congestion or a massive crowd first came to mind but you don’t get much of either around here; so I moved onto ‘mess’ but I didn’t really know what. Then I remembered the abandoned shed pictures I took for the Buildings theme down the road but ended up not using them. It’s dirty, falling to pieces and I lowered the brightness to help enhance the derelict feel of it. Id say it looked quite chaotic.

Theme 3: Animals (Contestant's Own Theme)

http://i51.tinypic.com/2wp0507.png

Inspiration: For my own theme I wanted to hand in a photo of something that I loved and 1 of them things are animals and especially my pets! This is our pup Herbie who’s a Basset Hound and I adore the pose he’s sat in - has right character!

Theme 1: Energy

http://i54.tinypic.com/zy7m0i.png

Name: Sparks
Inspiration: I was basically experimenting with lightbulbs, which is commonplace for me, when I managed to take this shot and I thought the hot wire in the middle was quite an interesting picture.

Theme 2: Chaos

http://i55.tinypic.com/2v31q39.png

Name: An eye-opener.
Inspiration: I think the true meaning of chaos is challenging others' perceptions and doing something totally unexpected, and when it boiled down to it, nuns looking up gay-porn was really the most unorthodox thing I could muster.

Theme 3: Life (Contestant's Own Theme)

http://i56.tinypic.com/29cm1hf.png

Name: The Waters of Life
Inspiration: I was really struggling with ideas and went outside to find this old watering can. I thought it'd make a nice shot and decided that it represents life quite well... providing water and rusting away itself.

Rooting for you!! :thumbs:

[MeMyselfAndI]

I'm rooting for Jords too :)

[Jords]

Thanks Pyra and MMI :D

But I hope its because you like my photos and not because you have issues with Shaun..

[MeMyselfAndI]

No i voted on the pictures

[Jords]

Cheers :D


Good luck Shaun!

[Pyramid*]

Thanks Pyra and MMI :D

But I hope its because you like my photos and not because you have issues with Shaun..

Not at all..... I've rated Shaun's over yours a few times I'm afraid! Mollie will be happy to confirm if there is any dubiety.

I'm a big girl Jords. ;)

[Jords]

That was aimed at MMI :laugh:

That was aimed at MMI :laugh:

I'm sure it would have been photographic preference. I happened to particularly like your Energy shot, esp in monochrome. Had a good effect.

Also thought your chaos shot was bang on.

Shaun's had some pretty good pics in earlier rounds, but personally - for me anyway - your pics this week were your best ones overall.

Thanks Pyra, it was hard getting that energy shot done because I had to use the camera timer and light up exactly at the right moment but managed to pull it off alright eventually!

[Pyramid*]

Is there a vote on the best one single photograph throughout the whole competition...... that would be a wee idea?

It was a particulary good shot - as you say: more than just a 'snap' - getting it prepped, trying it out and getting it just right to capture the theme - as I said, for my money - it was a fabulous shot, interesting, novel and right back to basics but with brilliant effect - with good thought put behind it.

[Maia]

I was thinking of doing something like that for the final, I probably will but maybe as like a public thing :)

[ChristmasNeeve]

mine would be Jords summer picture from last week I think

[MeMyselfAndI]

Jords first picture was interesting take on energy but the picture doesn't work for me. I really loved the second picture though it doesn't really say chaos to me. The third picture is my favourite of Jordys, the quality of the picture is great and I love the expression on the dogs face!

Shaun
Energy Photo - 18/20
Chaos Photo - 15/20
Life Photo - 17/20

I love Shauns first picture, again a very inventive idea from Shaun and it's a great picture. The second picture made me laugh, the quality is good though It didn't really scream chaos at me! I like his thinking behind the third picture water and the plant it provides life to, good job Shaun!

Yep I did a variety of colours to choose from for the 40k award. As for the font, that was the most similar looking one I could find :tongue:

[ChristmasNeeve]

The font in the 40k doesn't match the others!!

There was no 40k award so Mollie made it, that's why it's a bit different
