Ed,
Great picture of a character! Who knows how many miles he has ridden on that old Harley. He has personalized it and made it more comfortable for longer distances (finger mitts on the clutch lever, highway pegs, some kind of wind shielding made from leather around the crash bar, very old looking chaps). I like the flag in the picture, if the picture had been taken a step or so to the right it might have stood apart from the rider?
Interesting that his demeanor did not change after you asked him about taking his photo. Very cool!

Paul, this is a clever capture of the Terns against a dramatic sky. They look perfectly exposed and yet it seems the sun was setting behind them. The perspective of being low down to the tree adds drama to the image. |

Mark,
For me this image works wonderfully as an abstract. I like paintings by (and in the style of) Mark Rothko and here you have captured his art in Nature. The minimalism brings so much to the composition and the discernible image of the Sun relates the sheer scale of the view. I can imagine this 8 feet tall on the wall at SF MoMA.

Darcy,
I like photographing bridges, too. The geometry and perspective create lots of interesting structures as well as tensions, positive and negative, with the context of their location. It is very hard to capture the sense of the bridge going somewhere (even though that is exactly what bridges do) and you have managed that magnificently here. The other end of the bridge definitely looks like a place we should go and check out. The light from the setting sun brings the steelwork of the bridge alive with warmth, so it must lead somewhere nice. |

Dawn this is a captivating picture. Nature is amazing and this picture proves it. Technically excellent (full res must be amazing!) and tastefully enhance in post. (It looks like there are 2 rainbows? Is this an artifact or where there actually 2?).
Can you comment on your exposure settings? How did you decide on these values?
Neil

Kelly, what an evocative picture! Your B&W treatment and the early morning fog do give the sign an eeriness that might otherwise go unnoticed. The general decay of the brickwork etc also points to a forgotten era. My guess is the original owners of Journey's End Motel thought they were naming it for their guests who would not want to travel any further as it was just perfect. You have successfully converted it to the place one goes when there is no point traveling elsewhere!
Technically it looks great. If it were my picture I may have tried it with less grey scale and a more harsh B&W treatment to emulate a B&W Hitchcock movie. |
