uncle git

Yea- the Dunes is one of the best places to shoot early morning in Death Valley - so alot of people shoot there - I'm still a novice at this photography lark - so I figure I'd give it a go ;-)

Who on earth is that fat git on the right ?

 

With a beer gut like that he should drink for his country... wait... he does !

The reason the trees are tilted is the photo was shot with a wide angle lens - tilted up - so convergence rears it's ugly head.

 

At Least that's what I THINK is going on ;-)

I`d try switching to a slower film - it will give you much finer grain - the 400 seems a little excessive - especially as you have quite a few fast lenses in the bag.

 

It could be just the scans mind you ....

 

Where they scanned from negative or Print ?

 

How do you find the 70-200 F2.8 as far as sharpness and weight goes? It`s probably my next lens purchase.

Focus seems a little forward of the subject ?

Who said the subject is mentally ill ?

 

Such is poverty.

 

I really like this image - it has the potential to move people to action. Which is what photography empowers us to do - cause a strong emotional response.

 

Fantastic portfolio.

You are horribly out of focus.

 

Nice motor BTW.

I don't like the crop of the crutch and possibly foot at the bottom of the frame. It looks incomplete somehow because of this.

 

Personally for me this is an "almost" shot.

 

Just my $.02 worth.

Looks like the images are scanned incorrectly - unless Yamaha have changed their name ;-)

I brought up photo.net in work to show a co-worker some of my shots and this hit the front page.

 

I now have a diet coke infested keyboard. Thanks for the laugh ;-)

 

Not sure WHAT my co-worker thinks of me now ;-)

Catch fences suck don`t they ?

 

Great shot under heavy braking.

Any ideas on how to minimize the impact of fences on shots ? I shoot a lot of motorsport and an learning to hate the fences with a passion.

Some I shot at Le Mans.

Fantastic - I think it captures the mood of modern society turning their backs on tradition !

 

Well exposed and composed - great work !

 

Love it.

Personal preferance ? Yes I`d crop the lights.

 

Apart from that one small thing - nice shot.

 

Nice photo - from what I can see of it under your logo...... ;-)

 

If you are going to display them on photo.net it may be an idea to add a smaller copyright message in the corner rather than ruin what is actually quite a good photo.

 

Good work though - if you have more upload them - looks like you are lucky enough to have the oppertunity to show us where some of our tax dollars go ;-)

Great shot - what lens was this shot with ?

Here is a similar one of mine

Taken 2 weeks ago in Joshua Tree.

 

Very nice work - I strongly agree on the above comment on viewing it within the context of the presentation - very nice work - I`m jealous ;-)
