some Feb PUG comments
a few photos I especially enjoyed, and like to comment on, if I may.
(in order as they appear in the PUG).
"Toladie Well" by Joseph Tainter
I like the spontaneity of the shot, and the story it tells.
Takes me right into Africa. Also good depth of field with the
line into the distance.
"Somewhere in Colorado " by William Robb
I like the glistening light on the cliffs and the rocks.
Maybe it's right after a rain or morning dew?
It gives it a special quality.
"Cadaques" by Jaume Lahuerta
Makes me feel like I'm standing right there at the top
of the steps. I enjoy the way the photo leads you into the
narrow passageway. How about a cutter for the wires (?)
"Gates of the Valley" by Dick Jones
Nice classical shot of the valley and El Capitan.
Inspires me to go back to Yosemite sometime, and
try some black and white.
"Partnachklamm in Winter" by Hans-Bernhard Beykirch
You can almost feel the cold. The long exposure gives it an
ethereal quality.
"Mirror Image?? " by Toni Lankerd
I enjoy the luminous quality of the tulips.
Interesting backlit effect despite the black background.
"Butterfly near Tucson, AZ - Nov. 7, 2001 " by Ann Sanfedele
I like the way the butterfly stands out against the background.
Nice colors and perfect composition.
"G.G. and Mari, Thanksgiving 2001" by Mike Johnston
Good family shot. Nice example of shallow depth of field.
I'll have to try the Kodak Tri-X sometime.
Too bad the towel is behind your mother's head.
Otherwise would be almost perfect.
Are you sure they are your family, and not hired models?
