    It was the first time i documented an event with a flash (sb-80). The flash was my best friend sometimes, and sometimes it wasn't. But after the event i really learned alot about it's strengths and weaknesses. This shot, although content wise was not very original, is one of the more solid shots with flash. It balanced out the subject beautifullly with the background. I seperated the sky and the rest in photoshop, and adjusted the levels and color balance of the two to give the look.
  1. one of the greatest parts about photo.net is not only the pictures, but the stories one photographer shares with another about their trials at producing one image. few people really do appreciate work like this. btw thanks for the comments. i've left posts explaining some of my work. when i went to look at your stuff, i realized i've seen your work and commented on some shots like "dillie". glad to see how a community we are.

    wonderful understanding of design. might have chosen a subject with lighter tones to give a bit more definition as to really what it is (my brain says person but it could be any black thing). nonetheless, all levels on the grayscale is here, good contrast - good job.
  2. very nice. i can tell you took your time. i just feel there is too much negative space tho. if you haven't, try this, shoot the building when the lights just go on, but there is still that blue light after the sun has gone down.

    nice use of the out of focus light in the background. interesting angle, but the close up distorts her face and isn't very complimentary towards her nose. i find women should rarely be shot from below, mostly because it's not flattering to look up into anybody's nose.

    actually i purposely bleached those areas to pop out more. I was experiementing with bleaching prints after they are developed, so i can agree that it was too much.

    gooooooood composition. but perhaps better lighting would have been nice, if situations allowed. Probably would have been better if the bird was more seperated by focus from his background.
  3. too much negative space for a landscape shot. I can imagine how interestign it must have been in real life, to have light only on the city. Perhaps zooming out even more or travel back so we get an even broader scale. if the world were perfect, you might have even been able to get sun rays.
  4. i.m.o. the wall is 2 stops too dark. if the world was perfect i would have brought the pole's exposure down to match the wall and gotten better gradation in the sky and better saturation of color.

    Caged!

    well done. Technically you have great focus and detail, good use of b&w for journalistic and realism quality. concept is wonderful as well - sad looking tiger behind bars.
  5. HA! Great concept. Nice model, was Ben hard to photograph, must have kept on trying to tell you something about electricity and kites ...

    Couple .02 notes ... pull out a bit more to reveal that he is indeed a statue. you want your image to stand out by itself and not need comments. Angel's outfit is nice, but i dont' think it's fit for the concept, she's cute too so don't hesitate to show more of her face. Definitely good direction of the model tho.

  6. You made Texas look like Europe, good job. I personally would have shot this during sunset, or i would have tweaked it in photoshop to give it a warm feeling, but that's just me. i love the symmetry. the water in the middle of the statues, however, is a little distracting. it's hard to describe but it is aboveand in between the middle pair of legs. Also i think a slower shutter speed to give the water a smooth look would have been a better choice.
  7. you did your homework when it comes to low light situations, so congradulations. Like wedding photography, shooting events is difficult. You must be everywhere, and not be seen. It's a great photo that any parent would love, but i would suggest to take yourself away from what everyone else can see too and shoot what goes on behind the curtain.

    it's a little to flat for me - mostly because of the dark ground. i agree that the water bottle is too red, because that's not what your suppose to be centering on, unless your selling water bottles. but what are you going to do? tell him to change bottles because you don't like it's color while he's racing? it's a universal shot that can be sold to the right buyer ;)
