| | I actually noticed the arrow the other day and figured that's what it was for, then forgot.
I've got no excuse for that

But no, sadly not a professional... Hellish With Relish could certainly testify to the distinct lack of professionalism invloved in these photos!

This is one I took last summer that I really like. I'm going to have a look through the thread and get inspired for next time I have a working camera! |

Obviously the photos are much larger when they are printed out (well they are going in a large book) so the detail is easier to see rather than it looking all scribbly, but just resized so they are not HUUUUGE on here)   | Might be too late to give advice (what little I might be able to give!) but I like this style. I think the first one would look better slightly shiny, and perhaps both of them slightly see-through. Hope the project went well! |

Actually I was going to say, not a pro but really should be, if more professional photographers were like bigmuff the world would be a better place |

Thankfully/pathetically it's still considerably under the 1yr warranty. | Thanks. I'd like to pretend that no photoshop was involved, but that's not really the case... I have to admit to using photoshop to some extent on nearly every photo I put up for the world to see. I don't mean like editing out people in the background, or pasting in new bits, or stuff like that; I usually use it to bring out the colours and just clean things up in terms of brightness/contrast etc. Some might call this cheating or whatever, but at the end of the day, it's just the same stuff people were able to do in darkrooms before. And there's the fact that potentially everyone could be photoshopping their images, so if the next guy's getting the advantage from using it, you're damn right I'm going to be as well.
And as for the first shot of the beach, it was almost entirely a "cheat" job. The original shot was taken with an infra-red filter, taking advantage of what little IR sensitivity my camera's sensor has. I then took this mostly red channel information and swapped it into the green and blue channels and played with it in the channel mixer til it started looking like reality again, albeit with that strange character that only IR photography has. I figured, I'm cheating from the very second I try to convert Infra Red radiation to a visible image, so I might as well just go the whole nine yards!
As for HWR's post... if more pro photographers were like me, nothing would get done!
But anyway... enough of my self-absorbed ramblings... I really like the above photo of the guy on the grass... it's a great composition, although I'd maybe have cropped it a wee bit tighter to "punch up" the impact of the shapes and colours.  |
