Not baaaaaahhd?

I always have a little fun with our christmas card. I had the idea for this

picture last year when I saw a picture of a puppy wrapped up in lights.

Getting this shot was a little more difficult than I thought. First, I could

not find big LED lights so I had to use regular s mas lights. That meant

that I could only have them on for 30 seconds at a time or else they

would get too hot. Also, my son thought this was a great idea, until he

realized that he could not move his arms for legs for 30 mins. All of the

sudden, ALL of his body itched.

Not what it seems. I took my kids to the National Art Gallery in

Washington DC a few days ago, once we got to this room they ran to

the bench and started fighting for the edge. I quickly grabbed the

camera and took this picture.. seconds before they both ended up on

the floor. When I took the picture I really just lliked the symmetry, I did

not realize that it looked as if they were appreciating the drawings.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Nikon D700 28 - 70mm SB800

Not everyone can be creative with just a gray background and a single light. I love this shot, the colors, the model, the hair... everything.

A bit washed out on the top right corner.. I know. Do the power lines

take away or add to the picture?

Testing out Nikon D 700.

Taken @ Gatorland, FL. 70 - 200mm

So far the only thing I hate on the D700 is the cheap neck strap!

I took this picture of my son during a 2 hour "pirate cruise" in Clearwater

FL. I got a bit lucky on this one. I did not know about the sailboat until I

reviewed the images at the end of the day! Good thing I was bracketing.

I love the contrast! Great shot.

Comments are appreciated

Thank you for viewing.

I like the pose, the lightning looks good. My only suggestion would be to re-crop the picture. For some reason it bothers me that the ribbon and the top of her hair is cut off.

Good luck!

Not a perfect shot, but one worth a thousand tears.

I love this picture, his smile is so genuine. I admire that he is confident enough to smile that way even though his teeth arent perfect, I know many of us would never leave the house if our teeth looked like that. Perhaps the joke is on us... and this gentleman knows something we dont know.

Love the contrast and texture, by far the best Zebra shot I've seen.

This picture was also taken inside "El Morro" in Viejo San Juan, PR.

Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Comments are welcomed.

Once again, he was stealing the show...

Comments / suggestions are appreciated.

I like the picture! Also, I like the fact that there is a slight camera tilt. The subject is leaning slightly to his right and seems to counter the tilt. The only thing that bothers me is that tiny candle peeking out of his left shoulder. 6/6 Great Shot!

Thank you all very much for your comments. I debated for a while whether to add color to the trumpet or not. This couple wanted ALL of their wedding photos in Black and White. I arranged their album in Chronological order and this was the very last photo, at the end I decided that it would be a nice to finish off the album with a touch of gold.

 

Tracy: Now that you mention it, I can see how it appears that the couple is sliding off the dance floor. I played around with the Cropping Angle to see if I can "stop them from sliding". I decided to leave it the way it is because I did not want to change the direction of the trumpet. I'll just tell people that they were doing the electric slide :)

I finally agreed to cross into the darkside this year. This photo is

from my first (paid) wedding job. Let me know what you think!

Saludos!

In every wedding there is always some little kid who steals the

show and annoys the photographer by finding his way into every

shot. In this case it was my own kid! I just made the best of it.

 

Let me know if I went too far with the blur/motion effect.

 

Thanks

My daughter was not thrilled about being "Ringo".
