I really like this one - very nice

he is an engineerL everything happens by accident ;-)

 

Nice one ouboet

Ja inderdaad...een van die dae lyk ons ook so...

Hulle is nie maklik om af te neem nie...ons moet eendag die kleintjies houtbaai toe vat dan neem ons hierdie voolkies af terwyl hulle tjippies uit die kids se hande gryp...

Ek het geweet dit is net 'n kwessie van tyd, inspirasie en perspirasie. Ek dink hierdie is baie goed , en een van die bestes wat ek nog gesien het uit die betrokke fotograaf se lens.

 

Dit gee my hoendervleis en neem my terug na aande van Arabiere, sluipmoordenaars en die Franse Vreemde Legioen uit die "Sahara Avontuur reeks" wat ek so lief was om te lees as kind.

 

Die komposisie is op die man en punt af, and it dit drup van misterie.

 

Well done.

Dit is bleddie goed. Regtig besonders. Maar ek kan nie anders as om ongemaklik te wees met die komposisie nie. Ek weet daar moet 'n rede wees hoekom dit sentraal geplaas is, maar kan dit nie nie sien nie. Bietjie toeligting deur die kunstenaar asb....?

 

Ek wil baie graag ongemaklik wees en voel as gevolg van die onderwerp en die subjek, en ek is nogal...dit werk goed.

 

 

Nope - just slow shutter speed, polarizer and a good 'ol twist of the wrist.

ondersoek alles ... maar behou die goeie ;-)

Hi Paul. It has been a while. It looks like you are venturing into the world of strobes and portraits. I liked this one the most - I guess it's all about the eyes for me. Looking forward to follow your progress.

 

Best wishes

Thanks for stopping by Paul, amd for your comments. It was indeed impossible to get this from another angle, as I was still on the ferry coming into the harbour. This was one of those split second opportunities.

 

Good to hear from you again.

Cheers

No PS. Effect achieved in camera. Ratings and comments welcome as

You did well with the slow shutterspeed. I would however consider trying to compose it that the twigs and leaves are not obscuring the view. In my mind the foreground leaves are really bothersome. You could also consider taking it muck later in the day. Good luck and take lots more.

Only PS was some minor levels adjustment. Effect achieved in camera.

Hi Paul

 

It's been a while since I've bee active on PN. Hope everything is going well. Reading the post above, I think for me the debate has gone away. The only question I'm left with is where am I ever going to find time to really do photography? ;-)

 

I'll stop by again.

 

Cheers

Another African sunset? Your ratings and critiques are appreciated,

as always.

oraait dan - hier gaan hy ;-)

Thanks OB - word baie waardeer.

 

PS: Daar is darem nog bietjie detail in die donker - sien jy?

Comments are always appreciated, thanks.

Great idea and execution. I'm just not too sure about all the pink - how about a black and white version, and maybe a slight tilt to the left to straighten it a bit?

 

But otherwise, very clever take on a much photographed beacon. Well done.

Hiehiehie.... good one. Really witty.

I thought the two benches added to the dynamics of this image, which is a good street shot. The space between the benches is akin to the space between our normal and our more adventurous lives, the bridge to be crossed so to speak.

Very good composition and lovely tones. I rate this high as a street shot, and the very distinctive two "pillars" of black balance the composition perfectly.

 

Good framing, nothing to improve IMHO.

Excellent. This would make any garage door jealous.
