An old tecno-pop times hero, John Foxx, returned to the stage with a
lot of energy, which I tried to show in the picture. What do you
think about?
-
Thanks a lot, Michael, for your comments.
What you see in the mirror and over my head is, in fact, one of the tripod legs. Thanks you for taking the time to put your impressions. I will try to take a look to some of your work, also.
Kind regards,
Oscar

Here you have my selfportrait, with the camera in my back and
guessing that the mirror reflection will go the the lens. Do you find
it interesting or creative. Critique all that you want, thank you.

A Lou Reed concert in Barcelona. This is the photography the music
magazine for whom I work selected. Lou Reed was enjoying the concert
and I manage to take some pictures of him smiling (this expression is
a kind of miracle taking into account his normal mood ;-) I used a
digital Canon EOS 10D with the EF 200 2.8 hand held. The ISO rating
is 1600. Do you like it?

I think the crop works perfectly. I thought when I saw the thumbnail that it was a panoramic shot. Congratulations!

Here you have a portrait of one of my friends, Claire, taken when we
were waiting to ve served in a restaurant. I would want to know if
you like the composition and the lighting: she in the shade and all
the background with blow-out lights. No crops or digital alterations.
Scanned with a cheap flatbed scanner from a 18 x 18 cm copy.
Thanks in advance,
Oscar

Hi, I just want to know your opinions about this picture. It was
taken in an old bar in the centre of Barcelona, a Sunday morning when
I was supposed to be reading a newspaper as the man in the picture is
doing. What are your opinions about the composition?
Thanks in advance and regards.

Thanks Jeroen, for your good work on the computer. I guess I have to improve my computer skills! I am also glad about your comment and how do you find a meaning in the picture, exactly what I tried to express.
Kind regards

Hi! here you have one of the photos from my recent trip to Sarajevo.
One citizen was repairing his fence in one off-centre neighbourhood,
close to the front line of the bosnian war.

Hi, Jeroen,
I find it a good photograph, because your grandfather shows in his gaze and in his hands all his life and how he does not expect too much more of it. I have to say, that, contrary to other comment, I prefer, in this case, that he is not looking at the camera. Here it is like looking at the void, at the end of our lives and I find it disturbing and intriguing. So I prefer it this way. About the composition, it is a kind of environmental portrait, but I find that there is too much window in the frame and the lamp disturbs, as somebody more said. So, I took the liberty of reframing your shoot showing what, for me, it is a better approach (of course it is only my opinion) and I hope you don't mind. You will see why I like a lot 6x6 format ;-) Anyway, if you wanted to maintain 35mm format you could be closer to him and play a little with vertical composition. I have also erased the lamp very quickly, only to show that a lot of times in photography less is more. Anyway, congratulations, it is not an snapshot at all.

Hi, last week end I was walking by La Barceloneta, an old fisherman's
neigbourhood in Barcelona and I found these man and woman relaxing
outside their houses. When I was near, I realized that the man was
blind. I ask permission to take the photo and they were very
receptive. So, here is.
-
My vote for the cropped photo also. It has a lot more power. The rest of the photography doesn't add too much to the picture.
-
Hi. I prefer the original one. Well done and cropped. It is fun to see that someone overseas took a photo from a building so near to my house ;-)

Action shots are difficult. The subject moves quickly and perhaps you have to be in a seat without possibility of moving to get a better frame. Perhaps here it is the problem. You got the action very well but your point of view is not pleasing to the subject. You are too high what makes the fight between the cowboy and the animal insignificant. The bull merges with the floor and we cannot see the cowboy's face. For sure it would have added a lot more of'drama' to the action.

Did you want on purpose that her eyes were hidden or you discover it when you have the photo in your hands? It seems that you had harsh and low light and you did what you could with it.
-
I agree completely with the previous posts about the lack of light and contrast, the photoshop 'make-up' of Benhard makes a completely different (and a good) picture. I like the diagonal lines, the framing is correct but the problem is the lack of contrast.
-
Taken while I was in holidays. I used a red filter to darken the sky.
-
I am with Jeroen. It works better with the signals not in the middle of the frame. He let more space in the direction the arrows are indicating which is a clever move.
-
Hi, thank you for all your comments but I am very surprised about how "classical" you are. It is not a 'family snapshot', it is a photography for me and it is very common to "cut" the head in portraits. I am not the first or the last that would do it. But, anyway, it is your opinion and I must live with it ;-)

Very disturbing approach to family portraits because photography, from the beginning, is about faces, is about to record the expression of human beings for the longing to live forever. Not showing the face could make for general humankind but it is also mysterious. Anyway, a very original approach. About the photo, it is very casual, it remind me a Norman Rockwell drawing but there is too much sky to my taste. I prefer "twist", for me the best of your folder.
-
Here you have one of the most 'classical' compositions in my Roma folder. What do you think of it?.
Technical info: I have used an old Minolta Autocord with Ilford HP5 and the 'hellrot' (red) filter from Rollei.
Comments appreciated a lot!
