Without the above, I wouldn't know what was going on, even so I like it. I think that the guitar helps add context, without it she might just be a crazy homeless person on the street. # # Normally I try very hard for sharpness, but I'm pushing my personal # boundaries and trying to catch dynamic shots, keeping HCB in mind. :-) I spend a lot of time shooting dancers. I have a lot of shots that I wish were that sharp. The funny thing is that as photographers, we can look at a picture and see all of the technical flaws, everything that is wrong with it. Then my friends will look at a picture of them dancing and they'll see everythign right with it. It may not be a sharp picture, but it may be the sharpest picture they have of them dancing. It's important to look at the technical aspects of a photograph in terms of context. And, in that context, it's plenty sharp, and the blur, if anything adds to the environmental context of it. # # http://flickriver.com/photos/9403...@n02/3324651046/ # # K100D Super, DA* 50-135 @ 135mm, f/3.2, 1/30, iso800 # # Comments welcome. # # -bmw # # -- # PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List # [email protected] # http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net # to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and # follow the directions. -- Photographs are like sentences, the best ones have both subjects and verbs.
