New Photo Discussions
New Photo Discussion 1: Horn
- Husain Akhtar See Husain's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Thanks MH, Patricia and John. I appreciate your comments. To John, No DD here. Just color saturation and development. The water spray came from the upper fountain. Thanks my friend! - Allen O. Howard See Allen's Basic BetterPholio™ Visit gypsyparentsphotography.com - Allen's Deluxe BetterPholio™ Response 2:I thought you had captured the water fountain in the pouring rain until I read your comment! Incredible "eye" to catch this as a photo op,Allen! WOW! Excellent comp also! Love it! Big Winner in my book! - Patrick Rouzes See Patrick's Basic BetterPholio™ Read this discussion online Respond to this discussion | |
New Photo Discussion 2: Kawishiwi Falls
- Tony M. Chambers See Tony's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Hi Tony, Thanks for your kind comments. How to: 1. Use a tripod 2. Use a small f/stop. For example, f22. 3. Use a slow shutter speed. For example, 1/8 second or lower. You will probably have to use a polarizing filter or a neutral density filter to get the shutter speed that low. Have fun. | |
New Photo Discussion 3: Tractor in the Tarot Fields
- Josie Detmers See Josie's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Thank you for your feedback. Of all the times I've been at this location, I've never seen anyone in the fields, let alone a tractor in a perfect position for the shot. - Stephen Hurtz Visit emnrstudios.com - Stephen's Deluxe BetterPholio™ Read this discussion online Respond to this discussion | |
New Photo Discussion 4: Tractor-Seat Chair Shadow
Creatively seen and captured. ~Lisa - Lisa J. Boulden See Lisa's Basic BetterPholio™ Response 1:Hi Lisa, Thanks so much for the nice thoughts - glad you like the photo!! Kerry P.S.: Like many of my favorite photos, I actually saw the potential of this scene earlier in the afternoon when the sunlight was ordinary. I returned just before sunset, when the light was warm and when the shadow was striking. I simplified the composition (my zeroing in tight with a telephoto), in order to spotlight just the shadow and a section of the bright red seat. | |
