Art, part of the problems come from the too super-automatic cameras. Just like cell phones and computers we lost much of the controls necessary to do what we like. At least for me. Take my Lumix G9, otherwise a great camera, when I set the camera to a M and you try to shot low-speed and low ISO, it defaults to a P without warning making you miserable because you can't get the desirable shutter/f combination you need. I have old mechanical camera but all analog and I do not start again with film developing and everything else. |

Marge, this technic calle ICM, for "in camera movement" or motion, can be achieved in 2 ways one moving the camera with a static subject, the other with a camera on a tripod, or firm on your hand, and a moving subject. There are just a few rules as far as the shooting concern. When I shut that image the digital was stil in his "teens" age. If you allow me this expression. Art image is probably better and give a different impression than mine. No argument here. We know too well that photography is strongly and personal, but you can't compare apples with oranges. Thank you Art for giving to me the desire to experiment with this technic, it is fun and interesting The search for a subject is very difficult and not always rewarding, not all subjects are suitable for this kind of photography. In a handful of months I collected over 500 images, and right now I'm trying to find new subjects. But believe me is not easy to find them. I'm right Art? |

Marge sorry I didn't respond to your question of want to improve on your image. First of all there are always chances to improve all images. It might be light, contrast, colors, focus, composition and more. My to "improve" your images was referring to my opinion of the "too cluttered" composition. I still thinking that the image can be improved. Art just did the basics, eliminating the clutter created by the trees. You original image, in my opinion it has too may focal points, the viewer eyes are wondering around looking for an anchor, for a main focal point. Hope this can help. |

Sylvia this's an interesting image, although I believe needs some PP help to make it better. For start it looks a bit overexposed. The water on the window gives the light a magnification. Make a mask and adjust the light shining right into the lens. Lightroom has a feature that works magic for the mask specially in this kind of conditions. When done with mask you will not have any trouble to adjust saturation, contrast and light. Keep working on your files. |

Kurt, obviously you are in haven at this place, and I do not blame you. Here you did an excellent job. And I would suggest to you a close-up of the faces of the Jockeys during that very tense and stressful seconds. It might be interesting. Good job. |

I can only say Bravo to Art. You inspired me to try it, again, even as I said I was testing the technic many years ago. I like this technic with small objects, and flowers in particular. I will be trying with different subjects but I'm allergic to carry a tripod along, but I will push myself to do that. Thank you Art. |

Regine, I like this picture, and you were able to capture a very nice moment even with the difficulties that come with this type of photography. Art already and perfectly explained what to do too correct and improve this image. I would add that the latest version of LRc. does an incredible job with masking, particularly with file of this kind. I'm sure you have that application and need only to learn how that it works. Try it, you'll be amazed. |

Marge I think that this is an interesting image, and you can improve it with some post processing. I do not know what PP applications you have in your computer, and if you have PS/LR, as I imagine, you have all you need. "Controluce" images are always interesting and fun to work with, but a bit difficult to work with but non impossible. Or you can decide to leave the image as-it-is, or convert it into a B&W file, and maybe just working on the silhouette. |
