billh Posted December 7, 2006 Share #1 Posted December 7, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Niko in late afternoon sun (very low on horizon). The reddish cast is in his hair and shows this way in 1Ds2 photos too. He is swimming in the sun for several hours every day during the summer. In the winter this color cast disappears, and he becomes darker in color. I put a few more from today on the bottom three rows, http://homepage.mac.com/billh96007/PhotoAlbum200.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinop Posted December 7, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 7, 2006 Like the in focus tongue, right eye and leaf (under the chin) + the colors & bokeh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest smep_reloaded Posted December 7, 2006 Share #4 Posted December 7, 2006 Why did you cut the feet of the dog? I think framing would be much better if you had less of the bright sky on the picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 7, 2006 Share #5 Posted December 7, 2006 Bill - Very nice light, detail, selective focus and framing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted December 7, 2006 Share #6 Posted December 7, 2006 Bill--I think this is just beautiful. The light and bokeh are exquisite and the framing is perfect. Questions like, "Why did you cut off the feet of the dog?" leave me speechless. I will never understand why some people seem to think there is only one way to compose an image--and that is their way. Note to S. Pr@ger: Bill is an accomplished photographer who has probably been making great images since before you were born. I really don't think he needs any advice on how to compose one of his images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotografr Posted December 7, 2006 Share #12 Posted December 7, 2006 you mean he reached the stage of perfection. very interesting. No. I mean exactly what I said. Example: Let's take image #6 under "Encounters" in your website. Would you like to be told the image would look better if you hadn't cut off the person's chin? Clearly, you shot it the way you wanted it to look and likely would not take kindly to suggestions that it would look better with the whole face. My point is that one person's rule is not another's. If a beginning photographer wants advise on how to compose an image, he/she will usually ask for it. Bill is quite a distance from that point and is one of the most venerable and accomplished photographers on this forum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billh Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share #14 Posted December 7, 2006 Thank you Brent. But I do need to think a bit and see if I can’t find something better than the term “venerable”... I took a few more shots in the woods today with the M8, with the 35 f1.4ASPH with the IR486. The images from this camera just seem to have a lot more punch than similar shots from the 1Ds2 and 1D2. Jamie’s first profile really works well with the IR486 and late afternoon sun. I hope some of the M8 images will be chosen by the editor of the dog book. I sent her this one last night when I answered her email and she wrote back, “Beautiful shot! “ . But maybe she is just being nice because I am venerable. (For those of you from countries where English is not the native language, the inescapable connotation of this word is that the person has been around for some time. One of my favorite stories is about he time Brent was justifiably proud of the manner in which he was portrayed in an article written about him. He chose - rightly so in my opinion - to see the word venerable as meaning revered. His wife, on the other hand, said, “Brent, that just means old!” Ladies can be a tough lot.

Guest umb Posted December 7, 2006 Share #16 Posted December 7, 2006 Clearly, you shot it the way you wanted it to look and likely would not take kindly to suggestions that it would look better with the whole face. This is absolutely not true. I assess EVERY opinion I get about my pictures and try to put in a context to what I'm doing and what I'm going to do. This has nothing to do that I might not follow an advice given because I have something else in mind but when you get only opinions like "nice framing, great colors, beautifil bokeh" etc. this wont bring you any further.
