New Photo Discussions
New Photo Discussion 1: Bare Trees in Winter Mist
- Jeff W. Robinson See Jeff 's Basic BetterPholio™ Visit robinsonphotoart.com - Jeff 's Deluxe BetterPholio™ Response 1:I've always liked minimalist imagery, Rick, and this is a truly fine example of the craft. Well done. - Dale Hardin See Dale's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 2:Beautiful, I'm with Dale on the minimalist! - Liz Bullock See Liz's Basic BetterPholio™ Read this discussion online Respond to this discussion | |
New Photo Discussion 2: Shaving Seconds
- Shirley Sicurello See Shirley's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Terrific action shot, Janice! Michael - Michael G. Marshall See Michael's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 2:Thanks! These are actually pretty easy with some practice. Barrel racing is also completely predictable so you can set up for a particular part of their run. I usually shoot at a high shutter speed when they're going around the barrels (although shooting at 20-30 when they're turning is pretty cool, too.) And, then I lower the shutter speed to about 20-30 and pan them when they are on their final run. Learned how to really do this in a class from Doug Steakley here at BP.com - Janice M.

New Photo Discussion 3: Sidelit tree
- Mariann Kovats See Mariann's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Hi Gary; Lovely image. I like how the lighting is on and filtering through this tree. Great bit of luck having that sun break out. ;) CC - Carla Capra See Carla's Basic BetterPholio™ Visit carlacapra.com - Carla's Deluxe BetterPholio™ Read this discussion online Respond to this discussion | |
New Photo Discussion 4: Which Way to Westfield Centre
- Sherran Andersen See Sherran 's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Hi Sherran, Well, it started by observing people exiting the train and a thought came to me on how cool it would be to capture the movement. Movement was the key factor. Sat on a bench opposite the train door and counted the # of seconds it took for the people to reach two feet from the bench. Used manual focus set it to 2 seconds and at f/8. Just my luck at the end of two seconds the girl in red stopped. Pre-focused to 2 ft away. Braced the camera between my knees and estimated where to point the camera. Have fun with camera blur there great to take. | |
New Photo Discussion 5: Reflection
- Andrew K. Mits See Andrew's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Glad you like it!
