I have not seen you post in a while glad to see you are still around. I love the work you do I have attempted a few light paintings myself nothing compared to your work. Always a 7/7

Actually Paul it's good to break the rules sometimes and I think being central in this image doesn't hurt it. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Why don't you tell me how you would have improved upon the image?

I hope you all enjoy this image. I started giving myself

assignments at the begining of the year. The assignments were

simple but I had to produce 3 images a day. As you can tell from

this shot I am moving along pretty good. Your comments are welcome

and I wouldn't mind hearing them.

 

Best,

James

Enjoy and if you are wondering the mask comes from Death Studios.

Took this with a 80-200 Nikon lens. Yes there was something between

him and me, but it still didn't give me that warm fuzzy feeling of

being safe. Thank you for your comments and recomendations.

 

Best,

Dave I normally really like your work, but this one doesn't hit me like your others. Try the duality again with maybe a different subject.

Yes I agree a little too much blue but over all GREAT photo. Would have liked the large straight section a little more to the left or maybe just a slightly different angle.

Nice photo the angle you selected detracts from the image just a bit. Overall great photo would like you revist with you D100 white balance with a 16% grey card and then punch up the color in curves. Should be a really good shot. Don't be afraid to get wet.

Well it could be do to the fact that this is a cut down JPG image. What format did you capture this image in (High JPG, TIFF, or RAW)? The context of the picture is ok way too much negative space. Is the building the subject or is it the hill? If the building is what you are trying to show in context of the hill you can still cut some of the image off top and bottom enlarging the building and giving it more detail as well as enhancing the reflection. You could also punch up the color a bit in photoshop to make that blue really stand out.

This another image I captured at the Wild Animal park in San Diego.

Scissor Ants are relentless and destructive foes. Once the colony

has found a suitable plant for consumption the worker ants begin

dismantling it and work only on one plant at a time. I captured

this guy going home with my 500 mm mirrored lens.

I am always trying to learn and expand my photographic abilities.

All feedback is welcome.

Tom;

 

I like the photo was wondering if you had a different view on it? Maybe a slight angle something to hide the distracting fingers and put more influence on the claws. Overall great shot and thanks for commenting on my photos I always read them and try to learn from them.

 

Best regards,

I see some people really took a negative view of my image but I can only see the positive out come. You commented it struck a nerve within you meaning the photo did it's job. I am happy with my results.

There is a mobile phone in the bottom left corner of the image. Emil likes to hide things in photos and this is no exception.

I try to find different subjects and I think this girl embodies the

true spirit of a punk girl. I would love to hear your comments on

this picture.

This model and I are working together to do some street photography

work. We needed to get together to learn how to work with each

other. I like the results and that's all that really matters. Your

comments are welcome and check out the entire folder.

I like the feet sticking out of the bars would have been great to get that as the focus. I just a close up would have been good. As well as what others have said about needing more impact, knowing more about the subject, etc...

 

I have tried some of your techniques and even though what I get doesn't compare I still know that what you say is true. Great work continue to make such amazing photos.

I like the shot it's pretty good, but it was only the last game of the year for Seattle remember the Angels won the World Series which means they played a few more against NY, Min, and SF.

 

 

I can see form the image the things that people are calling bugs are really the fishing nets with anchors resting on them. I agree with comments on the color filter hitting the sand. Maybe he should have turned the filter slighting to run right up to the sand. The only problem there is he might not have gotten the complete pile of nets. Good shot overall I like it and look forward to seeing more.

Your skills in the form of Digital art are amazing. I highly respect you and hope to see more from you in the future.

 

 

This makes me miss home. I have been here with my Dad back in the 80's wonderful place to see. I have seen several photographs of the mill but non this striking. Very nice!

Thank you for the comments on the makeup. Actually it was done by me and it was only the second time I have done makeup before. I agree it was too strong and I I hope to make you proud next time. Thanks again for the feedback. At last someone comments on my work.

The lighting on the house is amazing and so is the shot. Thanks again for answering the questions I look forward to seeing more of your work.

 

Best regards,

Jörg I really love your work. I find myself tinkering in my studio oh so much more every time I look at one of your photo's.

 

Two Questions:

 

1.) Was the house a set built in the studio? If not what or how was this done?

 

2.) I have looked at a lot of your photo's do you use a mild soft filter on the camera as well?

 

Best regards,
