pauledell Posted July 1, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 1, 2009 Nice series. Nice tones,clarity and composition. Pictures #3 and #4 are my favorites. Picture #9 looks like the capture of a violent crime about to be committed. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPS Posted July 1, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 1, 2009 Comapedrosa, You've certainly captured the atmosphere of this sort of event ... viewing your images, I can feel myself there and even feel the heat. Good work. I love #3 -- it's clear the gentleman already has taken more of her time than she's willing to give. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
comapedrosa Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted July 1, 2009 Gentlemen, thank you so much for your kind comments! As I mentioned at the top of the post, I took these during a workshop with Thatcher Cook - a fantastic and very inspiring documentary photographer. We were 6 participants. What struck me the most was: 1) taking the time to go out with the freedom to only shoot yields great results. In "subject, composition and light", I (we?) often neglect "subject". Of course, I also only get meaningful time concessions for birthday and pool parties these days... 2) visions and styles differ greatly. At the end of the workshop we each selected our 10 best pictures (I couldn't and had to go with 13 ) to submit them for general critique by Thatcher and the group. We were all astonished by how widely the photos we had taken differed in vision and style! During the preceding 3-hour shoot, I vividly remember thinking that certainly everybody else would be attracted to the same subjects and come back with exactly the same pictures. I couldn't have been more wrong. There were the bight-color macro photos isolating specific, big objects; there was a series exclusively composed of repetitive patterns of small objects; there were the spectacular abstract and geometric compositions; and there were my B&W people shots... It's also interesting to see how most of the comments in this post highlight different pictures, and there don't seem to be 1 or 2 single winning photo. Thanks again for the comments!
