22 Oct 22 Reply More and more competitions are featuring cell phone photography; I'm wondering also if the proliferation of cell phones is effecting attendance and participation in camera clubs. I have noticed that photo coverage of sporting events has continued with standard cameras and long lenses. I wonder how long that will last? Oct 16th
22 Oct 22 Reply Good point! Oct 16th
22 Oct 22 Comment A right handsome group of folks, Kaylyn! The rules (or laws) covering permission slips are a bit tricky, but I think the general consensus is that people in a public space are exempt from requiring permission forms. On private land, it's a different story. IMHO, this image is more of a portrait shot than it is street photography in that it is posed and not a picture of subjects candidly going about their daily routines. That said, it's still a well done pic -- nice exposure and contrast. It might be a little too blue in terms of color balance. Oct 13th
22 Oct 22 Reply Exactly! Oct 11th
22 Oct 22 Comment As mentioned, the range between the lights and darks is too much to overcome. It is an interesting story, and the expression on the lady's face works, it's just that she is in too much shadow, and there is a loss of detail. A fill flash would've helped here -- it would be fun to experiment with a camera mounted light source, whether it be electronic or steady light. Oct 11th
22 Oct 22 Comment This is a well thought out process, Joe. I like the 'weight' and texture of the stairs and walls and of course your eyes are led straight up to the figure near the top. The red of the coat gives focus to the person and the relative small size lends a bit of mystery. You have a great soft box look with this image. Perhaps you could tone down the bright orange on the stand pipe on the left, but otherwise this is very well done. Maybe the steps are a bit on the yellow side? Oct 11th
22 Oct 22 Comment This is an interesting take on recording an airshow. There's always a gamble when taking a picture of a group of people, and having every head turned away from the camera, but in this case I think it works -- perhaps being the exception that proves the rule? Having everyone face the plane portrays a connection between both. Also of note is that there does not appear to be anyone facing toward the camera -- the plane has absolutely captured everybody's attention. Two things beyond your control -- too bad the orange hat was placed where it was, and it would have been better if the plane was a little closer Oct 10th
22 Oct 22 Comment The skater gives a sense of direction and reinforces the curve of the walkway, which seems to be your intention. Just me, but I would have filled in the sky at the top with a continuation of the tree line, thus eliminating the distracting light above the subject(s). I agree with Joe about darkening the walk a bit (and the railings), and bringing out the texture of the wooden planks. A nice composition. Oct 10th
22 Oct 22 Comment Nice gradations of blue, gray and white. It seems the building in the background is competing with the buildings reflected in the bean for the viewer's attention. Perhaps you could have moved to the other side of the bean and made the Prudential building into a reflected abstract. Of course the trick then would have been eliminating yourself from the reflection. Also, I'm not sure if the trees belong in the image, inasmuch as the various elements are all man-made. Oct 9th
