Photos are meant to be shared
First of all, I like this image because of the great late evening light. Second, the expression on this gentleman’s face is just great and third, the composition of hands and face creates a great overall impression.
Happy Friday and keep on photographing!
I like to include hands into my portraits and action shots. After all we do many things with our hands, like playing the guitar.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
I don’t think I have to comment on this one. I was looking through the viewfinder of my camera and just pressed the shutter.
Have fun!
As the evening progressed the light got better and better. In this image I got very good light from the left hand side putting one side of her face in shadow.
Enjoy and happy photographing!
Go to a public event and photograph it. You may go to football game, amusement park, local fair, wedding etc. to create your images. If you photograph people make sure you get their facial expressions!As always, have fun!
I went to a local event called “Shakespeare in the Park” and photographed the performance. I did not want to disturb the actors so I used a 100-400 mm lens and my C-sensor camera which as a magnification factor of 1.6. I could walk around in the background and watch the action and photograph to my hearts content.
Enjoy!
I went to the Farmer’s Market last night and walking back to my car I saw this light. I got the idea to put a frame around it to block the light and then I decided to mask the upper part of the frame. Then I added a black layer to it which I also partially masked using a soft brush. The hard edge of the frame and the soft edge of the black form a nice contrast.
This image seemed to me an idea image which has some more potential and it needs more work. Art is always art in progress!
Happy week-end and happy photographing!
An old man walking his two dogs in front of a building in an empty street. I converted this image to black and white except the part inside the frame. The frame definitely draws attention tot he subject and works as a “picture in a picture.’
Enjoy and happy photographing!
Frames separate, they work like walls. The questions is: Can they be overcome? In this image I created a nice 3D effect by “erasing part of the frame.
Enjoy and keep on making images!
I lowered the the saturation level outside the frame. Enjoy and keep on creating great images!
You can do this exercise on a computer using Photoshop or other programs or you can do it manually on a regular print. What I ask you to do is to draw a square around your subject and observe the difference a simple square makes in an image. If you are a Photoshop user you can also change the inside or outside of the square. As always, enjoy and observe!
I photographed this rose early in the morning. I darkened the part outside the square!
