He's fun to have around. I know the joke about cat pics, but this one made me laugh.

Glad you guys approve!

Nice. I want to get into pet photography, but so far I only seem able to communicate with my own dogs and elk/deer.

cheers,
scott

Watch for dangling lens caps or straps unless you need a furry lens hood.

Is Roxie sailing, or just hanging out? Looks like a boat seat.

The confluence. IMO, this is the worst of the series so far (I take the same shot on the 15th of every month), but this one has received far and away the most love on flickr.

Here's the full set so far.

That thumbnail looks the best in the set. April and May look interesting too.

I can not wait until summer is over. Even this dragonfly looked depressed the other day when it was 106 or so. Not sure why it chose the pavement over grass? Had to be really hot.

I thought the soft focus was my work computer monitor \:D (yes my work monitor is THAT bad).

I dunno I try not to rip on other photo enthusiasts, but for some reason this whole thing just bothered me. I'm entering a local car forum photo contest, and this dude has people swinging on his nuts like his sack is a mounting point for a trapeze. 3 people have quoted that pic in the thread to say "wow AWESOME photo". And I just go wat?!

The guy is a great photographer, but to me from a fundamental standpoint, that picture is poopy. Maybe nate, who is currently shooting the EXACT same car in flat-black currently, can chime in.

The pic doesn't bother me in the least. It's too small to tell if out of focus or not, but it looks fine in that size to me.

Different style...I dig the moodiness.

Crap lighting, crap framing, crap location. In a nutshell, pic is crap.

I think GB just wants to prove to himself that the jackasses on his local forum who think they are gods gift to photography are in fact, jackasses none the less.

In the interest of not being as harsh (do I have to do that? Is this still Sparta/CSI?) Let me rephrase: The lighting could use some work, the composition is uninspired, and the location is very dull.

I just wanted to know if I was just a douchebag hater, or what. And this is helpful to me because I'm really trying to get better at automotive photography. As of right now I think I have many fundamentals down, but it can be very boring. I'm setting out this afternoon to do a sunset shoot with a 2007 blue SLAMMED STi.

I have my tripod, my remote, a 6.5foot fiberglass step ladder, my CPL, an 18-55 and a 50mm II, and Im going to shoot in CT's capitol city to do both rolling shots and hard parker shots.

Wish me luck!

You'll do fine, Hoss. People only really get into trouble when they start fucking around with auxiliary lighting and have absolutely no idea how to use it effectively or properly (aka the shot you posted)

Do what you know, don't "practice" on this shoot. If you are worried about anything not working out, do the "safe" shots first and then try the crazy stuff. That way, worst case scenario you still have your bases covered.

Absolutely. What I'm really worried about is a time crunch. I doubt I'll be out of work until 7. Then 45 mins to location. sunset is 8:00pm. We;re gonna start with rolling shots, and then go from there. I don't even have a final shoot location planned. I hope we have enough time

My thing about lighting is if I can easily tell how a photographer did it, I probably won't like it. Joe McNally's best stuff doesn't look intentionally lit, but more like he just got really lucky with perfect ambient lighting and I eat that shit up and desperately try to imitate it.

I love Nate's super complicated and very purposeful set ups, but that road is too intimidating for me to even think about starting down.

The next 2 issues coming out have some of my favorite stuff I've shot so far in them... The November cover image (EVO X on page 18) looks fucking fantastic and I never say that about my own photos, but this one came out SO good. Sometimes it really is hard for me to sit on my hands and not post things that are not "released" yet. Making cars look good, while not really looking "lit" is very hard, but that's the direction I have been trying to move towards lately. Joe McNally has some very fantastic shots that follow that same general guideline, but also a good amount of his stuff is very obviously lit... And being obviously lit is not a "good" or "bad" thing, its purely a stylistic choice. Coincidentally, I happen like his obviously lit photos more. It just depends on the look you want IMO. The problem with the above Subaru is that it's not "well" lit by any definition of the word.

I have to laugh, because I've outsmarted even myself. My enemy, my foe, is an animal. In order to conquer the animal, I have to learn to think like an animal. And, whenever possible, to look like one. I've gotta get inside this guy's pelt and crawl around for a few days.

cheers,
Carl

Man, I love everything about this shot.

That is just BEAUTIFUL! I don't even feel like I have a right to critique your work, but I almost feel like I'd rather see it b/w on the right and fade to color almost as if the dude playing is whats causing the color to seep into the room.

Regardless, I LOVE that photo!
