Yeah, the fence makes me sad, but when was the last time you shot a bull elk at 24mm? Some shit just can't be passed up completely.


You take what you can get when it comes and you make the best of it. I think the shot is great. Well processed, the fence is just an unfortunate location. I dig it!

Am I the only one that doesn't take the rule of thirds, golden ration, and all that into account when taking a shot? I just frame, that looks good, snap.

I take it into account sometimes, others i just snap away.


I mostly take pictures of people though, and i like candid, so i really just try to wait for a moment and then snap, if htey move it just adds character (or fail if they move the wrong way)

More important than the suggestion of thirds is not placing a subject at the very edge of the frame unless there's a secondary subject to balance the image and mostly avoid having the subject staring out of the side of the frame that's closest to him/her/it.

The rule of thirds comes primarily from the idea that plopping a subject dead bang in the center of the frame tends to be boring - but if it's some bmx kid upside down, then the photo is never going to be boring regardless if he's centered in the frame.

I really think the people who are seriously caught up in the rules of composition are the people who have no idea how to make an interesting photo otherwise - both in online forums and to an even greater degree in the English photo mags (but the English can't seem to learn the rule of cropping out the sky when it's gray and featureless).

And another thing. I have never heard a photography instructor mention the rule of thirds or use the word "bokeh".

YMMV

That is a cool one. Was it in a wildlife preserve or something?

The one time I've seen a Coyote around here, he was over a barbed wire fence within seconds of seeing me coming.


I learned how to manually remove purple fringing with this picture. That is with using Paint Shop Pro X3. I'm slowly learning. I was using my 127 dollar (Sigma) QUANTARAY 70-300DI F/4-5.6. At 300mm, the purple fringing is atrocious.

My lunch, from my shoot today. I know, harsh shadows are harsh. Couldn't get the lighting just right and was competing against tungsten lights. The natural light through the front window was being filtered by the tinted window which caused some problems too. still have to fix the white balance

bbq salmon w mashed potatoes and green beans


potato pancakes with guac and salsa


gnocchi in cream soup with garlic and basil (this was phenomenal!)


hot fudge sundae

I think the soup pic needs to show more of the plate/bowl. Just my extremely non-professional opinion

We call them red-winged blackbirds around these parts. Good shot, they tend to shy away from me so all mine are at a considerable distance (except a couple of females, but they are neither red-winged nor black).

Yeah, I've got some other ones with more bowl, but you see the cream starting to congeal so it looks kinda nasty. I had to crop that one in order to get the good spot. Meh, I hate shooting soup, hard to do.

Anyway, so they asked me to shoot a VIP even tomorrow night. Lindsay Czarniak is leaving the local NBC station to go to ESPN and they're having her going away party there tomorrow night. There's going to be a lot of local celebrities and probably some sports figures (ie, Chris Cooley from the Redskins). Pics are going to be published (most likely the NBC4 website and possibly washingtonpost.com). Looks like i'm going dual camera. Gotta charge the batteries.
pic for reference:

reworked version of a clubsi contest pic. One downside to digital is that photos get set in stone. When making darkroom prints, the look evolves over time based on the printer's esthetic sensibility at the moment.

Earlier version (that my wife still likes better):
Warning, Spoiler:


And speaking of the darkroom, looks like I've wrangled a part time gig managing the darkroom at UMSL for the 2011-12 school year. Hours are minimal, pay is not great, but it'll look good on my resume/grad school applications.
