DIANNE,
WAY TO COWGIRL UP.
THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT COWBOYING THAT'S EASY AND YOU'VE SHOWN US A FINE EXAMPLE OF THAT. RODEOS ARE JUST EXAMPLES OF THE EVERYDAY LIFE OF THE COWBOY,EXCEPT BULL RIDING MAYBE,(THAT'S MAY JUST BE SHOWING OFF, LIKE WHOSE TUFFER) JUST SAYING.
ANYWAY YOU CAPTURED THE EVENT AT IT'S BEST TIME, JUST AS THE COWBOY SETS FEET TO BREAK THE STEERS RUN, AND JUST BEFORE HE FLIPS HIM DOWN, YOUR ACTION IS NICELY PLACED IN THE LOWER LEFT THIRD OF THE FRAME, SHUTTER SPEED WAS REALLY GOOD AS YOU FROZE THE ACTION YET YOU STILL SEE THE DIRT FLYING UP FROM HIS FEET. WHITES ARE HANDLED WELL, LOTS OF DETAILS THERE.
NOW IF YOU HAD THE EYES WOW!! ( YOU KNOW IF YOU HAD JUMP OVER THE FENCE AND GOTTEN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA YOU COULD OF GOTTEN MORE OF THE EYES).LOL
KEEP ON HAVING FUN.

WELL JANE,
AS ONE WHO HAS RETURNED MANY TIMES WITHOUT ANY GOOD SHOTS I UNDERSTAND.
BUT SOMETIMES WE GET THE UNEXPECTED, AND YOU DID THAT HERE.
RECENTLY I WAS CHASING SWALLOW TAIL KITES AND ENDED UP WITH SOME GOOD BUTTERFLIES..WITH MY 500MM HANDHELD,THAT'S AN ARM BREAKER FOR ME.
I LIKE WHAT YOU'VE DONE WITH THE B/W RENDENTION, YOUR EXPOSURE IS GOOD FOR THE LIGHT YOU HAVE, NICE LEADING LINE OF THE BRIDGE DECK TO THE TRESSLE, THE ONLY THING IS I WONDER IF SLIGHTLY CROPPING OF THE TOP AND RIGHT SIDE OTHERWISE LESS SKY AND REMOVING THE HOUSES THEY CATCH MY EYE.
IN A WAY I'M JEALOUS, YOU CAN MAKE ALL THE THINGS IN THIS IMAGE, THAT SOME PEOPLE SPEND A LOT OF TIME SETTING UP FOR AND BUYING OF ALL KINDS OF FILTERS
POST PROCESSING WHAT A WORLD...
NO MATTER WHAT YOU HAVE A NICE IMAGE HERE GOOD JOB |

JOHN.
THE HEADDRESS IS A VERY INTERESTING PIECE OF AMERICAN INDIAN HERITAGE.CRAFTSMANSHIP IS EXCELLENT.
BUT LET ME JUST SAY.
THIS IS A DIGITAL DISCUSSION GROUP, SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY YOU CHOSE THIS IMAGE,
WHAT WAS IT THAT YOU WANTED US TO SEE,
HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT CAPTURING THIS IMAGE SO AS TO HIGHTLIGHT WHAT YOU SAW.
I SEE YOU USING A VERY SHALLOW DOF, THUS CAPTURING THE VERY CENTER SECTION IN SHARP FOCUS, PERHAPS A LARGER F STOP WOULD GET THE MAIN FEATHERS IN FOCUS ALSO, CREATING MORE LEADING LINES HELPING TO BRING MY EYE TO THE CENTER CLUSTER.
I MAY HAVE MENTIONED THAT I LIKE TO HAVE SOMEPIECES OF CLOTH IN MY BAG THAT CAN BE USED AS A BACKGROUND, THAT COULD ELIMATE THE BUSY BACKGROUND THAT TAKES AWAY FROM THE CENTER CLUSTER.
YOU STILL HAVE GOOD LINES LEADING INTO THE CENTER AND THE EXPOSURE IN GOOD, COMPOSITION IS DEAD IN THE CENTER BUT IT HAS TO WORK WITH THIS KIND OF IMAGE.
DID YOU HAVE ANY HISTORY ON THE HEADDRESS, LIKE THE TIME PERIOD, THE TRIBE, THE PURPOSE, WAS IT WAR BONNET OR JUST SPECIAL OCCASION WEAR.
DON'T MEAN TO SOUND TO CRITICAL, I JUST THINK IF WE WANT TO DISCUSS OUR IMAGES, LETS GIVE ONE ANOTHER THINGS TO DISCUSS, LETS NOT MAKE ONE ANOTHER GUESS AT WHAT WE ARE DOING OR WHY WE DO IT A CERTAIN WAY,
PLEASE WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT??

BERNIE,
FIRST THING I SEE IS A MASSIVE ARK, THE THREE PEOPLE IN THE FOREGROUND SETS IT TO SCALE, THAT WORKS VERY WELL.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE ALL OF US TO DO IS EXPLAIN OUR MOTIVES FOR CREATING OUR IMAGES, WHAT DID WE SEE OR FEEL ABOUT THE SCENE THAT INSPIRED US TO PICK UP OUR CAMERA, AND WHAT DID WE DO TO HELP US SEE WHAT YOUR SEEING OR FEELING..
SOME THINGS THAT COULD HELP IS LOOKING AT YOUR SUBJECTS FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE,I'M SUR EVERYONE WALKS UP TO THIS SCENE AND STANDS THERE AND SNAPS A SHOT.WITH THIS IMAGE IF YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN LOWER AND MORE TO THE LEFT, HERE'S WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN.
FIRST YOU GET A LONGER PRESPECTIVE ALONG THE HULL, CREATING A MUCH LONGER LEADING LINE,THUS TAKING YOUR VIEWERS DEEPER INTO THE IMAGE
GETTING LOWER WOULD HIDE THE DISTRACTING GREEN SIGN JUST OVER THE FENCE AND ADD HEIGHT TO THE ARK MAKING IT EVEN MORE MASSIVE.
THEN PERHAPS YOU COULD WAIT FOR THE PERSON IN THE BLUE SHIRT THAT GOT CUT IN HALF TO MOVE OUT OF THE FRAME.
AND MYSELF I WOULD HAVE MOVED THAT ORANGE PYLON AROUND THE BACK OF THE FENCE, TAKEN MY SHOTS AND THEN PUT IT BACK(NATURAL PHOTOSHOP).
AND WATCH THE HORIZON LINES JUST SLIGHTLY OFF.
OVERALL WELL EXPOSED AND COMPOSED |

NEAL,
THANKS FOR THE IMAGE.
I LIKE WHAT YOU DID WITH IT, NICE DIAGIOAL USING THE CORE,
AND PUTTING THE MAIN PART OF THE IMAGE IN THE UPPER LEFT MAKE A GOOD COMPOSTIONAL STATEMENT, THE COLOR ARE VERY SOFT ANDD PLEASING TO LOOK AT, OF COURSE ITS NEEDLESS TO SAY THE SHARPNESS IS DEAD ON, I EXPECT NO LESS FROM YOU!
THE STROKE YOU USED IS A LITTLE BIG TO ME, AND THE WAY IT BLENDS WITH THE UPPER LEFT CORNER MAKES THAT PART OF THE IMAGE LOOK KIND OF SOFT.
BUT THANKS FOR THE WORM. |
