Alpro

This would have been almost perfect had it not been ruined by someone else walking into frame, stage left.
For some reason, it's one of my self imposed rules: I like to have the aisle completely free of other people.
But look! Look at the pose! I call it the semi crouch.

Ah well. It was almost good.

Composition:  (but woulda been higher if not for that pesky...)
Pose:  Come on! The right foot lift!

Facial Skincare

What could be better for protecting your skin than a Buzz Lightyear spacehelmet?
I really quite like this one. As if he's some kinda space-age Sainsburys store detective checking the customer out...

So, what score do we get here? Well, for composition, amazing. 
And as far as the pose, not bad - full body in shot, however a tad blurry, so I deduct a point...I give it a 

A new personal best!

King size bedsheet

Hmm. Not great. I think there's a bit of a focus problem here. I guess I'm too close. There's blurry stuff going on, darn.
Compositionally, I'd rate this as a 
In terms of the pose, I think it contravenes some health and safety law. Surely you are meant to bend your knees or something? 

I am determined to get better at this. Any tips out there?

Free Range Chicken

Thought I'd get a bit clever. This is called a "Dutch" or "Canted Angle" apparently. They used it in the 1966 Batman series whenever there was a bad guy on screen. Because they are "crooked", see? Anyway, this is my version of my very own catwoman looking at a bird - not the Penguin, but a free range chicken. They always taste better don't they? I think the moral fibres in your tastebuds are heightened when you think the thing you are eating led a happy life...until it was killed, plucked, cooked and eaten that is.

Ahem.

Right, lets see...

Composition: I have to knock off a point because there is a trolley in the background, but I do like the 'canted' angle, so it's a  from me.
Pose: again, it's all in the feet in this photo, but I have to deduct a point for not getting them both in frame. 

£4 Roll Back

Well this one, the camera was a bit wonky. I think I need a tripod. Why don't trolleys come with tripod attachments? Eh?
Anyway, this photo isn't great.

Compositionally, I don't think I Got It Right. I'd say it's a , but I'm open to criticism.
The Pose is actually quite good, I think. Look at the feet! It's all in the feet. Maybe a ?

Fresh Cream Cakes

Ah, now you see. This one was taken just a trifle too late. Moments earlier, the wife was peering down at some fresh cream cake or other, the lighting from the chiller compartment was just beautiful. But as you can see, I was just too late whipping the phone out. It's really not very good; not my best work.

Morrisons fresh cream cake aisle. The pinnacle of temptation.

Ah, well. I thought I'd post it here, just so you can see how NOT to do it. This is terrible.
The composition is all wrong, there's no perspective and the subject is all blurry. For composition, I'd say it's a 
The pose is no good either. She's not even looking the right way. I feel embarrassed posting this here, really.
The pose is a 
Rubbish.

Don't look. Just stop, will you? Actually, now I come to think about it, I think she was looking at a chocolate eclair. And she's got a wheat intolerance, so perhaps it's best she is walking away from it.

Bakery

Now this is better. I'm getting the hang of it now. This one's taken in ASDA. Good lighting in there. Music's not too bad either. That's the wife there...pretending to look at frozen ready meals, but we all know she's really going to go for the Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream.

I really like the composition of this one, but I reckon I could improve. Perhaps a .
I reckon a  for the pose, don't you? Stunning high heeled Doc Martens if you ask me.

Hellmann's Mayonnaise

Hellmann's Mayonnaise


This is the first game I played. It's not great, but I guess you have to start somewhere.
What I like about it is the angle of the sandals. Hellmann's Mayonnaise is probably the product being examined here. The focus isn't great. (My camera is really really bad. I was amazed it actually managed to take a photo.)

For composition, I'd give it a  (out of ten)
For the pose, I reckon it's just 

The Supermarket Game - Welcome!

Hello and welcome to the brand new game that is taking the world by storm. Or possibly not. In fact, probably not.

The Supermarket Game is designed to provide hours of pleasure whilst doing that most boring of tasks: Shopping.

I devised it during a particularly tedious session at Sainsburys. It has become an obsession. The graceful curve of the spine, the look of longing in the eyes, the wonderful diffused lighting, the "2 for 1 offer" signs in the background...so I thought I'd share the Supermarket Game with the rest of the world (or with the two people who have found their way to this blog).

Years ago, this game would not have evolved. Film is too expensive to process - but with the advent of the camera-phone, the stage has changed and the world is ready for a game of this artistic calibre.

HOW TO PLAY

The game is simple: Whilst your spouse or partner is busy shopping "hands free", leaving you to push the trolley, you reach into your pocket and whip out your trusty camera-phone device.

Wait until they are looking at the object of desire, wait...wait...until their eyes gleam with wanting to touch the object of desire...wait until the magic moment and SNAP!

Take a photo of them. It's that simple.
