Photo of the Day - April 2010

I enjoy your work very much, definitely cool stuff. Just one bit of constructive criticism. I'm not sure how much post process tweaking you do or if it's just how you have the lighting set up, but it looks like the character's leg who is standing above your subject is glowing. For some reason my eye went right there, maybe because it's the center of the shot, but just thought I'd mention it.

Looks like there is a light right behind that character (well, kinda both of the pairs of legs have an ambient glow) and that's all that can be seen of that light.

Yeah, it's some rim lighting coming from behind them. It becomes a bit much on the right side, so that's something that will be coming out.

Just finished the last shot of the series earlier. Here's a quick throw-together of how it will possibly look.

I love the reflection in this shot. That stick, have you tried cloning it out ? But - good on ya... a nice photo BJ

Thanks...

I had not thought of that but here it is without the stick and recropped.

In honour of Earth Day



Nikon D50, Nikkor 135mm f/2.8 AI, Manual Focusing and no metering capabilities. Probably was using f/5.6 or f/8. Oh, and I was panning a little.

I like this...

Thanks a lot! She is a very willing model- for a few jerky treats- and more patient than my wife!

Self portrait

May want to go easier on the pp next time, you thumb is doing something weird....

Did pp bring out all that noise? Either way i think it kind of distracts from the image.

Wow, wallpaper material, imo.

Very nice. The lighting is incredible.




Been working on trying to use the natural light more to focus the eye, rather than just a super shallow DOF. Which brings me to mine for today:




Exif Info:
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture: f/9.0
Focal Length: 55 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: -2 EV

This shot from tonight does NOT do the experience justice.
I have never seen anything like it. We have had nice grey days because of the Icelandic interruption and tonight it broke. I mean this shot is the tail end. Seeing a wall of clouds just move away with blue sky after them was just surreal.

Wow! wonderful shot!

Wow, wallpaper material, imo.

Thanks, NeGRit0.

Brugge

View from the Belfry in Brugge, Belgium. There was a metal cage at the top and I stuck my lens through a hole and just snapped a picture. At first I was mad I couldn't get the shot I wanted but I love it now.

Canon Rebel XS - Shutter 1/125 Aperture f/9.0 ISO 200

 

[CK Williams]

Nikon D700, 16-35mm f/4 @ 16mm, 1/80th @ f/8, 200 ISO (clickable for larger version)

Earth Day Levitation

The texture flattens the image and tells me its purpose is to hide some flaw. Try a shadow under the figure to set the illusion of 3D space. Pointing the toes will make it seem like the person wasn't originally standing on the ground. Sorry, I don't mean to be negative, but the cropping makes it look like someone who has been hanged, imo.

now you need the loonie pic - sit just outside of Echo Bay

hit the jackpot two double yolks

Wow, that is cool. As weird as it sounds, me being a chef and all, I only saw my first double yolk about a month or so ago. Go figure...
