The all-purpose running photo/critique thread.

I thought it'd be nice to have a place to talk about photos we're taking, with the idea of making a better all-around product, especially for those who have to both shoot and write.

I'll toss one in the ring.

 

I agree about the cropping, Moddy. Not to make excuses, but for this particular client there's a need to leave space in the full frame (and this is the full frame shot) so they can crop to 8x10 without losing any real content off the top and bottom, since that ratio is so much more square than the original.

I don't generally put my pictures where they can be linked like this, so for the moment I'm stuck showing what my clients have posted.

 

Good thread, UT.
I wish I could post some fotos, but I'm going to be stuck just looking at them.

I like the way you said you'd "toss" one into the ring. ;D

 

I almost said I'd toss one into the circle, but I thought that was too punny to be acceptable.

 

Agree, move in tighter, her expression becomes the photo. Showing a athletes emotion is one of the best ways to help tell the story.
BTW - photographing an attractive blond will always get you props from me.

 

Anyone else gonna show some work?

 

You know I'd like to, but can't at the moment.
Give it some time. It will take off.

 

First off, I consider myself a photography hack. So please be kind. However, what could I have done different, ect.

 

Here's another one. This is a picture whose team made three errors behind her in one inning at the state tourney turning a 2-2 game in a 8-2 game. This is a shot after the third error allowed two more runs to score. I ran it Grayscale to focus on the despair of the moment.
Fire away, thoughts. Remember, I'm a hack.

 

Wow, posting on a thread that wasn't started last year. Must be time for another drink.

 

LOL. Sorry about digging up old posts, but I found some really good stuff. My bad.
