Great photos Phrasikleia - I particularly like how you have both the road and the telephone cables drawing you 'through' the image from the foothills

I don't like taking photos featuring people I don't know; it always feels like I'm intruding in some way. However I got this one and rather like it.

D40, 55m, 0.017s, f/5.6, ISO 200

(Thanks for the comments on my previous shot btw.)

thanks for the feedback, Phrasikleia, regarding the baby swing. I have other angles of it on my my http://www.nuwomb.com site. I stll have a few more to put up of it. I find things like it fascinating.

Your pic's waaaaay too big for my monitor...

I don't like taking photos featuring people I don't know; it always feels like I'm intruding in some way.

It can seem quite threatening to point a camera at people, and using a telephoto lens only makes it worse (you feel like a sniper ).

But most people love being in pictures; they only want to know why you're taking them.

I give people my card and ask them to email me... so I can send the best of the pix I took (some do, some don't...). This seems especially important with families, kids, etc.

This isn't an HDR pic; it's a pic on which I used HDR. There's a difference... to me, at least...

I post the reply without checking the pic's size sorry

Phrasikleia thanks for your comment.

Doylem realy like your "hdr"pic, it's like a fairytale!

I find it a bit hard to take pictures now when it's winter, a lot of snow here, so blowouts, or what it's called.
Anything special to think about? low iso, "fast" exposure, what about the aperture if i want the unfocus area to be blurry, hope you understand that

A new B&W pic, is it to much free "air" around it? C&C?

Model: NIKON D40
ISO: 1600
Exposure: 8 sec
Aperture: f/11
Focal Length: 50mm

I like this picture. The snow is an unexpected element, so it holds my interest. It's also a good use of B&W. To answer your question, no, I don't think it has too much negative space; I think the composition works.

Another one from Glennville, California:

Jesus Christ, man! It's like you live in a fairy tale or something! I love the reality and beyond that your photos evoke, and this one is exemplary with a bit more of the "beyond" in it than what I'm used to seeing from you here.

Bravo!

Thats an older photo Doylem, I remember seeing it months ago...but I love it, I agree that it evokes a ferry tale like setting.

Taken today, Waimea Bay on the North Shore. I like the way you can see the wave face in profile.

And that's a great memory you've got...

It's the same location, for sure, just ten minutes walk from my lakeside shack, but not the same pic. Just for the interest rolleyes here's the new version... then the old (shot dec 20, last year)...

And thanks for your enthusiasm, Vixappire...

Fantastic work again guy's , looks like December has got off to a great start

I don't normally take "Landscape" shot's with the camera in "Portrait" orientation I always think its a landscape so it should be that way round, however this is one i took yesterday that I think works ok.

 

[bbbensen]

Took it while at my friends house. Trampolines are so much fun.

I am really loving all your studio work. I am impressed.
Do you have your own studio or just regular access to one?

 

[timmyb]

Fantastic colours Steamie.

I've been having some fun light painting...

The first one is supposed to be an elephant!

A photo from Cornwall last weekend. Even in the middle of winter Cornwall is one of the most beautiful counties in the country.

Some of the photos I took came out a bit 'flat'. I am thinking of getting a polarizing lens, I hear they give shots a bit of lift.
