With most of my digital "sepia" shots, I always desaturate to the point of about halfway between a full sepia and B&W. Thanks again, Joe.

Excellent shot. I love the HDR technique. May I ask if you are using Photomatix software, as I'm thinking of trying it out.

Cheers, Joe

Excellent photo Gustavo. Perfect lighting. Keep up the great shooting. You have a wonderful eye. Cheers, Joe.

I took this photo a few years ago with a polaroid camera in order to

make Polaroid emulsion transfers. I scanned the original and made

it sepia tone and printed on Hahnemuhle paper using an Epson 1280. I

thought that it may be of interest to anyone with an interest in

Abraham Lincoln. This home is about a mile from the Lincoln Log

Cabin State Historical Site and about a mile from where Abe's

parents, Thomas and Sarah Bush Lincoln are buried. President Lincoln

visited here and stayed with the Moore's on several occasions. Coles

County is in the heart of the Land of Lincoln. If you are ever in

central Illinois, there is much to see in and around Charleston and

Greenup Illinois. Be sure to visit Fox Ridge State Park, the Crown

Jewel of central Illinois.

Comments welcome. Thanks, Joe.

Hi Brent,

 

Thanks for the comments. The lens was a Canon 50mm USM f/1.4, mounted on a Canon 10D, making it the same as an 80mm lens on a 35mm film camera. I was shooting on program using window lighting only, so the lens was probably wide open at 1.4 or in that vicinity.

Hi Philip,

 

I tried to "fix" a shot rather quickly and post on this forum. I couldn't figure out how to post it here but you can check my portfolio and see the "non smoking" version.

 

Cheers, Joe

Any thoughts?

What are your thoughts on this shot?

Thanks, Joe

A very nice series. I like this one the best. Great concept. Great shot!

Wonderful shot. I love the wry smile, brown eyes, and touch of green. Great composition. Bravo!

I wasn't sure if my photos were being posted or not, since I'm new at posting photos. Thank you for the kind feedback.

Joe

I would like to know what you tink of this shot.

Thanks, Joe Ethridge

I know that the Windy City has a relatively new Botanical Garden, when compared to the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. Was this one shot at Mr. Shaw's Garden by chance?

I rather like the riderless shot. Somewhat like a pair of gardener's gloves next to his or her tools on an empty bench. There is no doubt in my mind that a human was very much involved in this shot. Hopefully, the rider walked away from the accident. Cheers, Joe.

This scene reminds me of the Redwoods here in the USA. Bravo, Joe.

I really like the drama in this scene. Every thing comes together very well. The compositon, the tones,the textures, the dramatic sky, the lighting on the subject, the gaze....everything! I wish that my self portraits were this good. Well done Rogerio! Cheers,Joe.

Great Shot. Gotta love Kodachrome.

Very nice shot, but can't help but wonder why she isn't in the reflection.

It is not too late to "step to the right". Rather than crop the horn shaped leaves from the bottom, try it by cropping off the left side and make the photo square. Still a great shot.

 

I love all of your photographs Alberto. You are truly a great photographer. I very much wish to travel to Spain to see and photograph this beautiful land, so rich with history. Thank you for sharing with us.

 

I've tried to rate some of these, and I think they are awesome. But then, I'm a big fan of Henri Cartier-Bresson, as well. From just a simple kind of man out in the cornfields, I think your photos are farm out!
