durukan_payzanoglu Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 <p>OK! I have to make it up for last week. so here are my comments.<br> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2206786">Narayan Kovvali</a> , definitely increased my desire to shoot star trails.<br> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=786707">Tiffany Brook</a> , I really like your portraits. Always emotional.<br> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2418329">Lil Judd</a> , Jaw dropping detail. As I donot have one of those reverse rings, I usually use two 50 mm's stacked together. I have posted one on 2010: #1 but it was far from being tact sharp! By the way, I always have to use my mobile to look at your photos as the web page you upload yours is blocked by the firewall at work ;).<br> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=1352714">Ertugrul Kilic</a> , Nice feeling. Plus, this festival is on my "things to do before you die" list. So, I am emotionally attached.<br> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4234770">Jeff Farkash</a> , Just wow!<br> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=943565">Aguinaldo de Paula</a> , Very nice feeling created by the high key.<br> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=3846485">Ashim Dey</a> , made me want to cuddle the toy! I made one of my friends buy LX-3 and now I am jelous of him! Really great pice it is<br> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5938910">Bob Dein</a> , too good for a first a try! ;)<br> And the others I like most so far:<br> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4237857">Paula Wang</a> , <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4992672">Cees Maas</a> , <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=1872771">Kemal Riza, </a> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4748076">Sankha Hota</a> , <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4434969">Mark Gordon</a> , <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5198666">Filip Lucin</a> , <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4579907">Slava Nikulin, </a> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5611905">Pascal Burel, </a> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=554046">Michael Mixon</a><br> Cheers.<br> Durukan</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaM Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 <p>Barry, I love your fiddler. She seems so "at one" with her music.<br> Alejandro, Your wrestler is fantastic. I find those guys rather surreal. I'd love to have the opportunity to shoot them some day. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wouter Willemse Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 <p>Tiffany, thanks for the kind comment. It's encouraging to hear from such a skilled photographer!<br> It's been a great thread so far, the quality of the photos is just really stunning and the diversity this week made it a very nice 'rollercoaster ride' around the world. Thanks all!<br />Some photos that caught my attention this week are...</p> <p><em>Matt Laur</em>: Impressive, looks almost like the north pole melting :-) The snow almost looks a bit like there were some dogs, though, judging from colour... I guess I miss your dogs.<br /><em>Narayan Kovvali</em>: very impressive, the rocks look very sharp (must be a good tripod!) and overall like daylight. If you would have written nothing, it would be a hard guess about the time, except for the trails. Cool alienating effect.<br /><em>Lil Judd</em>: Wow, it makes the grasshopper seem an enormous animal. I've got limited skills/experience in macro, but I know this must have been a seriously difficult shot to get.<br /><em>Matthew Brennan</em>: I love it, great textured feel and the colours make it a great photo for those aching for a bit of spring.<br /><em>Cees Maas</em>: a picture one takes only every other blue moon... Lovely serene feel.<br /><em>Tony Hadley</em>: Great sky, good use of wide angle.<br /><em>Jeff Farkash</em>: Very nice. If Blackberry does not contact you to use this photo for an ad campaign, they're nuts.<br /><em>Grant Tanner</em>: I love the colour.<br /><em>Rene' Villela</em>: Cool shot, well timed. Swans stay impressive.<br /><em>Per-Christian Nilssen</em>: Damn it looks like a LOT of snow. Very serene, I like the simplicity a lot.<br /><em>Markku Vihava</em>: Looks cold and cool. Makes me want to go for a good walk, somehow. <br /><em>Dubravko Grakalic</em>: Like a Dickens-mood photo, highly atmospheric.<br /><em>Bob Dein</em>: What a great first post! (and welcome)<br /><em>Sanford Dickerson</em>: Great blue sky really makes the picture pop.<br /><em>Wenshu Chen</em>: I love this photo. It makes you really wander what happened there.</p> <p>Now I seem to do a great injustice to the portraits this week... I find it hard to choose! Yes, they're all quite different, but to me they all capture the person really well and set the right mood for what they're presenting. I envy that skill for sure, seeing it makes me realise how much there is left to learn for me; and I'm grateful for that because learning means practising and I love doing just that :-). Really, top work, thanks for sharing!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 <p>I simply wish to thank:<br> <strong>Rick Dohme</strong> - ( promise not to use this method with snakes, but I did use it on a Black Widow - a poisonous spider for those who may not know - the other morning & in hindsight not something I'll repeat.<br> <strong>Dieter</strong> - for your kind words.<br> <strong>Tiffany </strong> - yes they do have amazing faces & their mouths... Glad you enjoyed.<strong> </strong><br> <strong>Durukan</strong> - thank you so very much, so very kind. I think stacking lenses will be far too heavy & clumsy. What I like with this setup is the smallness & lightness of it. But, the bugs have to be willing & you have to be very slow & careful to get close enough to them. I'd recommend you try to get your hands on a <strong>Nikon BR-2A ring</strong> & just try reversed lens. But since you'll be so close to your subject you really need to use a flash (on board is fine) to get light on your subject.<br> <strong>Wouter </strong> - Revers macro is not easy. It amuses me that I insist on working on it due to the level of difficulty. But then, I've never been known to go the easy way. ;-) And I do like a challenge. I actually took a shot of the same grasshopper with a 24mm f/2.8 reversed. But that's so difficult I want to work more with my 50mm before I tackle that again. Also - at 24mm I really didn't get too much of the grasshopper's face. I think 35mm is correct for a head shot of a grasshopper it's size. And the 50mm reversed it perfect for a body shot like this.<br> <strong>Thank You All</strong> for noticing my work. :-)<br> I'll be back to comment another day as my headache prevents me from concentrating too much today. I just didn't want to not thank those kind enough to comment on my photo.</p> <p><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2095577"><br /> </a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
