29 Apr 17 Reply That is a good option too. Thank you, Tam. Apr 27th
29 Apr 17 Reply Darn, fluorescent lights and chrome just don't play well together. I spend a lot of time in post cloning out spectral highlights when I go to LeMay, The pros get to set up their lighting, but not we poor amateurs. I still like trying though. Apr 18th
29 Apr 17 Reply I have been to the LeMay museum many times now without a good image to show for it. It is a hard choice as to whether to crank up the ISO, to get enough light, then lose sharpness removing the noise, or add more light in post, and increasing highlights to the spectral light zone. I like Judy's better, since the eye is drawn toward light and sharpness. The steering wheel/knob merger will need a really delicate touch to remove. Changing my angle would have helped, but then so would losing 25-50 years in age. I know, there's no whining in photography. Apr 18th
29 Apr 17 Comment I like the composition, and the curves. In my opinion, the stairs need to be burned on the left, thr floor in the center,and the sidewalk(?) in the window portion. Sharp where you want it, but maybe add some blur proportionately to the top and sides. Apr 9th
29 Apr 17 Comment It looks pretty sharp to me. Color looks correct to me, and the exposure is good. I think the story is well done, and with the vignettes cloned out, you have a really good image. Thanks for contributing this month.

29 Apr 17 Reply You are correct. I probably needed to stack some images in order to get more items on the dash in focus. I'm not sure I'm young or agile enough to get enough shots in this environment. Maybe rent a tilt-shift lens. Apr 9th
29 Apr 17 Reply In order for this image to have impact for me, or to tell a story, it would need more hands on arrangement. As a still life, one brush, or several brushes, an example of the medium used with the brush,with the colors arranged in some order and a stencil could tell an interesting story. An image made of the artist using the brushes with a stencil would have been a good subject, too, if you have one. As presented, I'm not sure what you want me to look at. Apr 9th
29 Apr 17 Comment I think this image is going to be hard for us to critique. Your explanation had me google "stencil illumination" and that was illuminating-punny huh. At first I thought the brushes were on a bench with the handles sticking out below. But I ran across one picture of an artist using your brushes with his fingertips. Anyway, the image is sharp, and I assume you couldn't re-arrange them to form any kind of pattern. There's not enough interest for me. I agree that my first thought was to eliminate the shelf, but I agree with Karen's assessment that the crop doesn't really make much difference. I'm sorry I'm not much help. Apr 7th
29 Apr 17 Comment I think you did an excellent job of keeping this image sharp under the circumstances. The colors look accurate to me, and I like the interaction of the buffalo. I'm not sure I like the cart wheel position on the left part of the image, but Thatis just a nit pick. If there is more room on the sides and top, it would add some interest for me. Nice golf shirt on the driver, but the driver's leg(s) create some confusion for me. Apr 4th
29 Apr 17 Comment I think this is a very, very creative shot. I wish I had one like it. Some people look like they are standing in the water. I think the silhouettes are nice and sharp, if that relly makes any difference. The colors are very appealing to me, and the composition is outstanding, in my opinion. I like the hair light produced by the centered couple. I'm not sure I would want to go there, but it is a beautiful shot. Apr 4th

30 Apr 17 Reply Hi Robert, the International Orange used to paint the bridge was inspired by the original pieces shipped from Bethlehem Steel in PA and NJ. They were coated with red lead primer. The architect thought it worked well with the sky, water and clouds in the bay area. The navy switched from red lead to zinc chromate, which wasn't any safer. Now everything is primed preconstruction. Just a little history. I agree that the color needs to be accurate on such a well known structure, or the B&W works for me. Apr 10th
