FallingHorse: LP records ... what are they :P ( 5 years and 2871 days ago )
Remsphoto: Visualize the first Beatle album and cardboard cover that contained a large vinyl 33 1/3 long playing (about an hour) record which was popular till the early 90's. They lost out to CD's, but many enthusiasts still love the vinyl. Hope this helps. ( 5 years and 2871 days ago )
Ory: So since I have no LPs I cannot participate... Or can we just try and replicate an LP over without using an original in the shot? ( 5 years and 2870 days ago )
UncleJimmy: Go to your local thrift store, many still have LP's you can purchase for mere pennies... ( 5 years and 2869 days ago )
Eladine: if you take the right distance then a cd cover would do the trick too no? ( 5 years and 2869 days ago )
Remsphoto: Itsmymoment...great idea. Thrift stores probably have hundreds of covers and many perfect for this idea. Sorry to make this a tough contest, but we have so many talented members, I thought this would be challenging and fun. ( 5 years and 2869 days ago )
MnMCarta: :::SIGH::: If I only didn't throw away entire boxes of those little records and big records... ( 5 years and 2869 days ago )
Contest Moderator: @ Edadine...CD's are not albums, at any distance, for the purposes of this contest we are looking for classic vinyl...actual old fashioned album covers... ( 5 years and 2868 days ago )
UncleJimmy: Also keep in mind, since this is a level 15+ contest, it's not meant to be easy...some research and creativity go a long way... ( 5 years and 2868 days ago )
kyricom: Vinyl RULES! ( 5 years and 2868 days ago )
UncleJimmy: Vinyl is the $hyte!!!! if it ain't vinyl, it ain't original....LOL, great contest idea BTW...this is certainly very different ( 5 years and 2868 days ago )
UncleJimmy: I still remember going to the record store to get the newest 45's of recent hits on the radio...LOL...am I old or what? ( 5 years and 2868 days ago )
kyricom: You had radio? I remember urging the tribe to hit the logs that special way they created rhythm... ( 5 years and 2868 days ago )
downoffthedragon: The only LP I own is Def Leppard's Hysteria which I was elated to find in a thrift store for a dollar. It has a concert ticket from the 1987 Hysteria tour taped to it. I don't think that I could use it in this contest. Too abstract to find anything in real life to match it with. ( 5 years and 2868 days ago )
Eladine: ofcourse cds are not albums not going to argue there with you. Altho my collection of lp was very small (i had more tapes duplicated from my bro) my mom has a awesome collection with some great albums of elvis collector items some nana mouskouri o.o; not rly my style but great albums to use for these shots.... and a lot of others ofcourse, if only she wasnt living at the other side of the country it be worth a shot.(lol not that my lvl be high enough but just for the fun of it id like to try it ) This is going to be an interesting and creative contest ( 5 years and 2867 days ago )
rbsgrl: Amanda, I have boxes of LP's. Feel free to drop by and go thru them, if ya want. ( 5 years and 2867 days ago )
MnMCarta: nah I think I will sit this one out. But thank you! ( 5 years and 2866 days ago )
Howdie stranger! If you want to participate in this contest, just:
As much as I don't mind looking at your lovely model, the cover doesn't really line up. The right arm on the cover is sticking out, although your position is understandable for modesty's sake. But, the cover seems to show that you would be able to see the top half of the face, while the model seems to be in profile
Indeed, although 'Barry' is somewhat questionable, at best...the set-up is great...the cover of the album differs just enough from the BG to be outstanding...again, great job author...
I mean seriously, the outline of the hair almost perfectly matches...author, you need a new hair-style...Lol
author says:
Itsmymoment, thanks, I am just happy to HAVE hair. I think Barry has about 2 or 3 songs that I can actually say is decent.. I write the songs, and Looks like we made it are respectable. or at least tolerable.
This is really nice, and I agree with itsmymoment that the beauty is in the details... just wish you had taken a small step to your right so the album cover didn't break the frame in the background.
Great Job!
Nice one!
Wonderful. Great job
looks good, nice fit.
nice shot..one of my favorites in this competetion
Now that's incredible! It's perfectly lined up! Impressive shot author
Howdie stranger!
