bohtho Posted January 7, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Some shots I took with my Digilux 3 in Arendal, Norway, when it started getting cold this autumn (before the 92 cm of snow fell yesterday...). My dog is a 7 month old English Setter nerdishly called "Linux" and the girl is my pregnant beautiful wife I wonder if I could get some constructive criticism on these as I personally fumble when I see something I would like to photograph and feel I just end up very generic.

Advertisement Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 Hi bohtho, Take a look here Cold Norway and cool dog . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
David Monkhouse Posted January 7, 2008 Share #2 Posted January 7, 2008 Not so sure about the first two but the rest of the series are seriously good and the sun through the trees perfect. I use Adobe photoshop to frame most of my posts, I'm not so sure whether it improves the display but prefer them that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leica dream Posted January 7, 2008 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2008 No. 4 of the hillside path does it for me. The rich mix of colours, the mist in the background and the shafts of sunlight are perfect. Lovely picture. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohtho Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share #4 Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks a lot for looking, guys. And for your kind words. Interestingly you most liked the two pictures I was least sure of. I guess there´s a lesson there somewhere I actually thought the first picture had best framing and was interesting with light from their backs. But I may not have caught it very good after all. The second one of my dog I can see in hindsight that at least should have been framed better, but it doesn´t have a very interesting background either. I was also unsure about the desaturation I did in Aperture on the two last ones. And just for your information you can actually just see my dog up the path on picture four as well. Hope it doesn´t ruin it for you, leica dream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 7, 2008 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2008 Thomas - Lovely series. I think #1 would be improved by cropping it to a vertical, drawing closer attention to the woman's and dog's super lighting, and their communication. with the second I'd experiment with sharpening.

albert Posted January 7, 2008 Share #6 Posted January 7, 2008 Thomas, Lovely photographs. Beautiful part of the world. I don't know much about the Digilux 3, I have the 1, & the 2. Personally, I would work on getting a perfect / spot-on focus somewhere on the dog's body. Perhaps the eye. Also, it is my personal preference to have the majority of the scenery in front of the running animal. This advice will give ME something to work on.

bohtho Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share #7 Posted January 7, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks you two! Great advice. I´m now motivated to try that out on my next trip out in the weather. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted January 8, 2008 Share #8 Posted January 8, 2008 Thomas - a very nice series - I agree with Stuart about #1, and IMHO #4 (the path) is extremely good (now you mention it, I do see Linux), closely followed by #3. The last two have in my view lovely subtle colouring of great scenery but maybe need a bit more playing around with to get the best out of them. Kit lens I presume?

bohtho Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted January 8, 2008 Yes, the kit lens. I haven´t come across any second hand Leica D series lenses yet I´ll look into learning more about correction in Aperture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
