Diego, thanks for your comment on my Giants Causeway shot and for letting me know of your wonderful "Northern Ireland" folder here. I see you really love the square format, don't you? ;) my favorite within this folder is this shot here, the shapes of the tang(?) on the water and the reflections work perfectly.

best wishes from Northern Ireland,

patrick :)

THANKS BOBBY

btw. seems like your 'caps-lock' clamps, check that out asap ;)

thanks Bartosz, best wishes,

patrick

thanks for your nice words Nikolay, it's indeed a very lovely place that I will travel a lot in the next month :)

cheers, patirck

btw. you're right with your citation: "a camera is just a tool to teach you see the world without it" :)

one typical not so typical shot from one of Irelands three greatest natural attractions - Giants Causeway.

hope you like it? any suggestions on how to improve? do you like the crop? (see attachement for original crop)

thanks, patrick

thanks miguel, that's a very good point indeed, I haven't thought about that yet. now that you say, I really should start using dodge&burn more often :)

best wishes,

patrick

what do you think about this composition? I'm somehow happy with it, but can't figure out what to do to improve this shot? maybe a tighter crop or wider angle would work well?

thanks for your help, patrick

thank you for visiting my portfolio again and again ... :)

I'm glad you this shot, thanks for your honest words.

a bit different shot from Giants Causeway (Ireland), hope you like it.

make sure to check out the large version and don't hesitate to leave me a few words in the comments if your time allows :)

thanks, patrick

wow! Albena, I love this shot, it's amazing! your whole style is fabulous and I'm looking forward to coming back to your portfolio regularly to learn a bit for my photography as well ;)

best wishes from Ireland,

patrick

not the most spectacular scene I've captured here, but I hope you like the way I did.

would be great to get some feedback as well :)

thanks alot, patrick

after one week in Northern Ireland, I finally discovered my favorite photography spot :) hope you like the shots that I took around Giants Causeway.

thanks for all advices, hints, comments and ratings

cheers, patrick

this one was taken at the american war cemetery in the normandy in France. it was so scaring how many young people have lost their lives at Omaha Beach...

please let me know your thoughts, emotional or photographical, everyone's welcome.

thanks, patrick

very sensual shot, I really like the mood you created here, thanks for sharing. all the best,

patrick

body art like piercings can look very good in reality, but in photos I also think they act distracting. my eye can't focus her face long enough to be not distracted to the piercing.

I hope you get some good shots, where you can make the piercing or tattoo the main focus of the photo. greetings,

patrick

you have an interesting style, I like your way of processing and how you add textures to achieve this special look. good work, keep it rollin' ;) regards,

patrick

bw works good here, atmosphere nicely captured. horizon is a little tilted and there's something in the lower left corner, that acts disturbing. besides this, good shot, regards,

patrick
