Love that attachment but why on earth is it not in your portfolio on PN?

Its a great shot not only for its own value but for the story and the experience that caused it.

In my opinion, the experience of taking the shot is often worth more than the shot itself but when you get both an awesome shot and an awesome experience taking the shot then thats the real beauty of photography.

This is taken from 3842m above sea level on the Mont Blanc mountainin

Chamonix France.

I went there to ski with my gorlfriend but as she cannot ski we took

a day site seeing and this is one of the places we went.

The air was so thin and cold that it was difficult to breathe up

there and as she does not like heights she went back down almost

straight away and I stayed for about an hour to get as much footage

as I could.

This is a stitch of about 5 or 6 photos taken hand held without

gloves from the top stage of the Aguille du midi was particularly

difficult as my hands were frozen by the biting wind and -10 deg c

temperatures. I was also light headed (like being drunk) from the

thin air and running around.

Its a great place to go though and totally recommended. I would like

to go again when the clouds aren't there just to ger some perspective

as to just how high this is.

Think about it - thats 4km up from sea level without a plane!

Fantastic place to visit.

like the photo?

I have lots more.

Taken from the upp stage at 10mm on Sigma lens attached to 40D base

Its about -10c and windy with air so thin you can hardly breathe. Had

to run around though just to get all the photos I wanted in time.

Running around at this altitude is difficult as is adjusting the

camera with frozen fingers

I saw this o nthe way to work this morning and it seemed like an

ideal oportunity to try out the live view on my new Canon EOS 40D. I

dont have a wide lens so this is as good as it gets.

The contrast and colour have been VERY slightly increased, otherwise

it is as the camera saw it.

Live view rocks for landscapes!

What do you think?

Thanks

Dave

Excellent clarity, pose and expression. I really like it.

Dave

Perfect nude.

Nothing on show but loads of sexual desire. Shame about the hair though.

Dave

Very sexy pic. I like this for the fact that you cannot see her whole body or face and the fantastic composition / framing.

One of the nicest I have seen of its type.

Well done.

Dave

Check out also my London Eye picture. The tower was shot first about

a month earlier and when I saw the Caroussel at the London eye I just

couldn't resist the theme.

The Eiffel tower shot was a much nicer day (weather wise) but as the

sky was totally clear (blue) but with a hazy sun mist the picture did

need some tweeking for sharpness of the tower. The plain blue back

ground did ntohing for it so I went for the B/W version.

Do you like it?

Different slant on the usual skiing pic

Like it?

The wind wasn't that strong but it was enough to make this

interesting structure that none of us had seen before - sideways

stalactights (feel free to correct the spelling if thats wrong)

From a skiing trip in France. This was from the balcony of the

apartment I was stayign in.

Long exposure on a tripod to get the lines of the car lights on the

road

Thanks as always

Dave

Difficult as I did not have a triod with me. This was therefore taken

with high ISO to keep the shutter speed up to avoid shake.

Do you like it.

Thanks as always

Dave

Why would you want advice? Its a great shot!

Dave

Fantastic clarity and DOF. Really like this.

Should I try to seperate the background more or leave it?

Thanks

Dave

Not sure the angle helps this one.

This was taken atop the Mont Genevre ski resort in France near

Clavier (Italian border). You can ski between France and Italy here.

Its excellent.

On top of the mnountain is really quiet and peacefull and 2600 metres

high. The view is breath taking and I thought this would be hard to

capture but TBH I think I did quite a good job but the question

remains....

What do you thik?

Canon EOS 30D with Sigma 28-70 pro lens. 6 shot stitch. Polariser.

Very little touch up.

Thanks

Dave

A brighter one this time.

Do you like it?

What would make it better?

Do you think I should have left it in colour?

Always appreciated, Thanks

Dave

Please comment on b/w conversion, style, pose and composition.

Just thought I wanted a differnet view of the car with a bit of

contrast i nthe background. Do you know how difficult it is to photo

a white car. Please send links of any good car shots you have or have

taken.

Thanks

Dave

Absolutely fantastic action shot.

Lovin it. Like what you've done with the tone too

Dave

You dont look like shit. Just slightly tired. You should see me after a hard day! You do look a bit like that shit from Arsenal maybe - but thats a different statement ;-)

I like the image but actually prefer the one that Mark reworked. Good team work - thats what PN is all about.

Its a single Bowens eclipse 500w/s studio flash in a 60cm softbox and a Lastolite silver and gold reflector.

Background is actually a 3 x 7 metre sheet from fabric warehouse draped over a manfrotto support.
