Feb. 2010 - Photography assignment - Song titles - Images that suggest a song's title

Some of us are out taking photos a few hours every week, on a number of different topics and formats, so if I happen to take a photo of a night time scene just before the assignment of photos taken at night , should I go back and take the same photo over again just so my exif data makes everyone happy? I had the "I will follow you into the dark" file sitting in LR for a few days and finally decided to edit it and while doing so was reminded of the "Death Cab For Cutie" song. So in order to qualify for the assignment I should go out and reshoot the photo? My preface to the those two photos said when they were taken, I wasn't trying to fool anyone. This was a fun theme now it's kind of not so fun anymore. :( If people were not so busy pointing fingers, they might get some fun out of it as well.

Nice shot there F8....looks like you got some frost down south today too! :thumbup:

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

The Late Great Jimi Hendrix

that might be so but we have awsome taste in music:thumbup:

Sunrise Sunset (Fiddler on the Roof Cast Lyrics, Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics >>)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

Awesome B...love the clouds and colour! :highfive:

and for you Rush fans:

The Trees


There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunligh
And the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples
(and they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made
And they wonder why the maples
Can’t be happy in their shade?

There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream `oppression!`
And the oaks, just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
’the oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light’
Now there’s no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw ...

Hey, JAS. Seriously, I wasn't trying to point fingers at anyone or ruin it for anyone. As Marko corrected me it's optional which was my misunderstanding. I was just a bit surprised at seeing a couple which were obviously summer time photos in February. Again, sorry if I offended you, it was not my intention.:goodvibes:goodvibes

Shhh, look at me, I'm a shattered
I'm a shattered
Look at me- I'm a shattered, yeah

neat Casil. What is it?

Shattered glass overhang entryway to a building. I guess it's an art effect more than anything. :shrug:

Ok, I thought I was being a dolt for not seeing it. I like it's abstractness but I still can't picture what it is :D

:laughing: lol...no worries. If I find a cool shattered window this month I'll do a repost! Better yet if some one else beats me to it the more the merrier!! :highfive:

You're over reacting JAS ... there's no issue ... never was. You did nothing wrong posting your photo, everyone knows that.

shot this this morning while walking around our neighborhood,
ON THE STREET WHERE YOU LIVE

Your neighbourhood looks nice Ed. It was grey and raining here when I walked to work today.

thank you richard. most of the time the weather is fine here except for a few typhoons during mid year/

Very cool shots everyone!

Not a great picture here (I need to work on using indoor light and flash a bit more effectively), but I love the song. And I love whiskey. What more do you need?

Whiskey in the Jar

Ha!Ha! Cool stuff.

Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for the springing fresh from the word

Very cool purple haze shot f8 - fits the theme beautifully.
Cool clouds in your shot Bambi! and your tree shot is also way cool.
Wicked cool shattered shot casil. Also dig the backlit branches in morning has broken.
Diggin the sepia in your shot Ed
Whisky in the jar - cool song and like the selective focus jason

These are real creative :highfive:...hope to do mine tomorrow.

Have a really good thought for this but need to set it up. It will happen but for now,

Taken last summer and not the best shot ever but I love this pic. Reminds me of better times. The car is gone now but thank God Kyanne (in black) is still around.

I know the PP for both is over the top, but for me it suited the song!

Hey AntZ ... a self portrait! Getting clean this morning after a ride in the rain?

This is an old one but interestingly when I shot it I thought "Skyline Pigeon" Elton John. Even now while I'm perusing the archives and come across it, I think the same thing:)

Nope. A purposeful setup for the song title. I set the camera up and had Ali push the button while I did the "getting wet". This is the closest thing to a Self Portrait I have ever shared. (Can it be called a self portrait if someone else pushes the button?) I'm not sure that I quite pulled it off, but I did everything I could in post to get the rain to show up more.

I did think about doing Dio - Naked in the Rain :)

Yeh but I would! :headslap:

I can see this thread getting added to well after Feb 2010 has long passed! Either that or we should start a new thread for this theme when the Feb Assignment is over :)

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

This is one of the best assignments ever! Neat to see everyone getting into it! :highfive:

Very nice shot Casil.

Wow...Ma this is awesome!!! :clap:

Hey thanks Casil :)

Nice capture, M.A! Looks like stardust on the water. :)

Oh - you all have so many ideas. I have to admit, I am not really a big radio listener (prefer a quite surrounding :headslap:). But maybe you know ABBA? Or the musical movie "Mama mia"? There is this song "Money, money, money" and the refrain

Money, money, money
Must be funny...

I like that MM!

And thanks JAS :)

Cool money, too Moin Moin. Xenon, gotta smile at your "Low Rider".
