Driving down the road playing with the objects that swished by at 70+

mph. Camera came home a bit dirty, but a little cleaning solution

solved that. Enjoy!

I love this work, wow! I would like a tutorial, I have been working with PS for years as a graphic artist but I don't know what you did to create this.I would love to know how you did it, but I will respect your wishes if you want to keep it to yourself. .....Sherle

I love the old lamp, I just wish that there wasn't quite so much other stuff to drag the eye away from the lamp. If I could I would make a couple of suggestions, if you get your fingerprints on the glass it might look better to actually wipe the whole thing down, so fingerprints don't distract. I'm just practicing with lighting on reflective objects and would suggest that you try difussing the light and making the source larger so you don't have little opaque dots. Just my two cents worth. ....Sherle

A very nice look at the fashion industry, one very rarely gets to see things from this direction. Nice moment to capture! .....Sherle

Hi Jacob,

 

With the lighting this beautiful, it was a pleasure to search out the best spots to be. The only thing I would have wished for was to be later in the season when the vines are bigger and more full. Thank you for your lovely comments! .....Sherle

 

 

Thank you Doug for your enthusiastic response to this image, gave me a big smile! .....Sherle

 

Thank you Jim, I love exploring the inner workings of flowers, so happy you enjoyed it. I can get about 1 to 2" away from the subject. .....Sherle

I was hired to photograph the vineyard and I would be out there every

day just before the sun came up to catch the early morning light from

different viewpoints. This was one of my favorites. Enjoy!

Playing out in the garden with the sun and its effects and seeing how

close I can actually get with my lens and still keep it in focus. Enjoy!

Hi John, thank you for your thoughts and your suggestion. I had thought about cropping it and then figured that would put the tomato in the middle of the shot so I didn't. However, I am always open to suggestions, so I will give it a try. .....Sherle

Thank you Cynthia Jean your thoughts are appreciated. .....Sherle

Hi Gordon,

 

Thank you for your critique and appreciation of this image. It is by far my favorite of the entire day. As far as the B&G having seen this image, not sure, I have uploaded it but I haven't heard from them. I expect to see them this weekend though. .....Sherle

I am not a wedding photographer, though I assist one, still I was

still asked to photograph this wedding. How did I do with this image?

I made the soft focus look in post processing. Enjoy!

Thank you Deborah for your time and comments. I find my garden to be inspirational so I'm out there as often as I can with my camera. Have fun in your garden. .....Sherle

Thank you Rueda and they are very yummy. .....Sherle

A tiny tomato growing in my garden. The sun was creating a real

hotspot so I used my hand to block the hottest part while trying to

keep the glow on the edge. How did I do? Enjoy!

Looking forward to your thoughts and suggestions. Enjoy!

Love the perspective and the monochromatic treatment. It makes me feel small sitting here looking at it. Nicely done! .....Sherle

Stunning image, there is nothing I can see to improve here, just beautifully photographed! .....Sherle

I love the color of green, it is intensely wonderful. One of the most intriguing parts of this image is the white "ribbon" that is winding through the middle. Of the three you submitted today this one is my favorite. .....Sherle

More work in the traditional color lab, no Photoshop used. I look

forward to your thoughts on this image. .....Sherle

This is truly lovely, you manipulation of the emulsion is quite wonderful here and thoughtout your portfolio. I had a chance to try this once in a class I took at our local community college. I was very sad when I was told that the film wasn't being made anymore since it was so fun to do. I'm glad that you are still able to work with this medium you are very talented. .....Sherle

Hi Gordon,

 

I see them now, funny how one misses stuff no matter how long you look at it. It seems to culminate into a barn for me. Not sure if there was even a house or barn there when I took the shot, but I like the secret shape "behind" the blur. Thank you for opening my eyes. .....Sherle

Hi Gordon,

 

I feel like a small child in a candy store who has just been told that they get to pick out whatever candy they want and take it home, no charge when I am in the darkroom, whether it be a black and white or color lab. There's just something so wonderful and satisfying about coming away with an image you have worked so hard to create. I don't yet have my own darkroom, though it is something that I would like to set up, someday.

 

When I print in the b&w lab I usually print on fiber paper and selenium tone, so its a long process, but I never get tired of it. Most of the images in my black and white folder were first created in the darkroom from a 4x5 negative.

 

As to PN not really giving critiques on abstract images, I get that too. When I get tired of not having any comments I will upload a flower or a landscape just to get some feedback, lol!

 

However my true love lies in creating abstract images in either the darkroom or in camera. I haven't yet fallen in love with creating them on the computer, but maybe that's more due to the fact that working on computers is my day job and I prefer not to be at it 24/7.

 

Due to losing the color processor I will have to see if I can create some of my favorite type of stuff with a scanner and the computer, it won't be as fun though, since I will quickly learn what does what and the sense of wonder will be missing.

 

I think you for commenting on this image. Your original post is helping me to come up with a name for this image. They are all untitled since I haven't spent enough time with them yet. .....Sherle

Playing in my garden with the early morning light and macro. I was

only intending to take a picture of the little hairs on the lily bud

and was pleasantly surprised to find the tiny little guy. Actually

he's kinda cute for such a destructive little thing, lol. Enjoy!

Some of my experimentation in the traditional color lab, no Photoshop

used to create it. This is only part of the whole since I can't scan

in 16x20 and I haven't photographed it yet. Enjoy!
