Tonight we got to watch another episode of Het Perfecte Plaatje. In the elimination round, the assignments were to capture emotion at Efteling and create a 1950s fashion photo with someone from their own family.
Emotion in the amusement park
For the first assignment, the participants went to Efteling. At the amusement park, the Dutch celebrities had to capture emotion. In theory, not that difficult in an amusement park, but in practice it proved quite a challenge.
The participants used the Canon EOS R6 for this shoot, fitted with an RF 24-70 f/2.8, Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 or an RF 70-200mm f/4 telephoto zoom lens. lens.
The guest judge and expert for this shoot was freelance photojournalist Rob Engelaar.

Patrick took the winning photo, which does indeed show emotion nicely. I did find the photo very busy, and it is indeed a shame that you cannot see a little more of the attraction, especially the water. In that respect, I agreed with the jury's assessment.
What also really stood out was that all the participants took fairly mediocre photos during this assignment.

1950s fashion with family
The second assignment was much more popular with the participants. At the Spoorwegmuseum in Utrecht, they were allowed to take photos of someone from their own family. The shoot had to produce a fashion photo with a 1950s look. Make-up and clothing were provided.
The guest judge for this assignment was fashion photographer Roger Neve. The Dutch celebrities got to work with the Canon EOS 90D DSLR and an EF 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.
They were also allowed to use flashes during this assignment, and a smoke machine was used when requested.

Patrick also won this assignment, having photographed his mother. Indeed, another excellent photo, although my personal favourite was Juvat's photo.
It was noticeable how much better the photos from this assignment were compared with the previous one. I think it really helped that guest jury member Roger actively helped the candidates and that both the location and the clothing were perfectly arranged.

Eliminated
Ruth had to leave the show this week. I think that was fair, and I believe she thought so herself to some extent.
Next week
Next week, the Dutch celebrities will create a film poster with real stars and take confronting photos with children.

I made myself watch this program for once. That was immediately the last time. Too awful for words.

It's mainly a commercial for Canon and the participants get so much support from the professional photographers and everything else involved that anyone you randomly picked off the street could achieve these results too.
Translated from Dutch.
And then those well-known Dutch people every time, why don't they just take a number of hobby photographers?
All in all, it is now completely certain for me that I won't be watching anymore. -
Fred wrote on Tuesday 23 November 2021 at 14:28 | replyI often find the assignments a bit vague, after which the assessment is also not always quite consistent.... The photoshoot at the Efteling had emotion as its assignment, but you also had to be able to see from the surroundings where the emotion came from. But to see emotion, you do have to zoom in on the faces, which then also makes it impossible to see from the surroundings where you are and how that emotion came about. Of course, the results are of a decent level, otherwise no one would watch anymore, of course. I increasingly notice that the results are worse the more unclear or impossible the assignment becomes.
