But yeah the bridge does look under exposed now that I see it on
this PC here at work... it looked fine on my Mac.

probably mostly the hosting cause I can't even remember the last time I used a PC but yeah, some of the hosting sites do a real number on color casts and underexposure...

I don't know if theres a technical name for my style but I am
more of an angles type of guy. I like repetition also.

maybe formal architectual... something along those lines, I don't really like throwing names around limiting to specific things, but i suppose that would be reasonably accurate description based on just off the cuff remembering your work...

Cool photos. I'd just say, don't be afaid of PS. Some of your pics seem a bit soft. I'd do a USM at 200% and 0.5 radius... then do a 60-70% luminosity fade. This should bring out the details without getting the harsh oversharpening feel.

j2o,
I was looking at Andreas Gursky book I got like a week or so ago was thinking earlier about you saying you like repetion and angles, you'd probably his work. His grocery store stuff is right up your alley...

Personally I'm Moma/Whitney person when it comes to NYC art museums but those are nice, I like the vignette on the first one very holgaesque without the crappy lense of a holga.

Finally got this in the mail this morning (far cheaper on amazon, even with my aic discount than in the muesum)... Seen the exhibition at the Art Institute like 3 times now on top of when it opened and I heard him speak. When it goes to the SF Moma October 27, 2007January 27, 2008 I'm going to demand all the Bay Area NT Photography heads go see it. maybe write a one page report on it word to like 3rd grade feild trip to the art museum...

They let you bring a camera into the museum?

Museums can be such excellent places to take pictures. So many possible subjects are already works of art, so I feel that a good amount of the work is almost done for you already, which allows you to delve further into other areas of creativity. Getting interesting shots of those pieces becomes an an adventure in and of itself in trying to bring out something more to the piece... whether it's an interesting angle on a sculpture, getting people's reaction to pieces, or really capturing more of the curator's view in setting up the installation. If I'm feeling up for it, I'll post some pictures that I took at the Hirshorn Museum in Washington, DC, which is quite possibly my favorite modern art museum.

I did, however, feel weird trying to take pictures of standalone paintings. Maybe it's just that I'm extremely new to photography, but I found it really hard to try to make my own statement or make the photo of the painting really special... the few that I took just seemed like I was just simply showing the piece rather than adding something of my own. I felt so much more comfortable expressing my (somewhat) unique and individual take on sculptures and physical pieces.

 

[airjordans4life]

Yeah....it was a foggy & overcast that day. i agree though...a sky and some clouds woulda been really nice.

^ I think if you push the contrast a bit so that you define the edge its actually quite good.

You'd be suprised how many photographers especially b/w love cloudy days... the clouds work as a difuser for the sun so the light its incredibly even if you ever use a light meter on a cloud day you'll be able to tell. But even color photographers like cloudy days because much the same way painters like cloudy days colors appear more vibrant under in overcast sky.

I would say once you define the edge because it definately fades into the white you've got a great well composed shot...

I think actually my only issue with it would be whatever you cut off on middle left but thats minor at best...

But far and away I think the best of the 3...

Great pictures everyone, especially you Purple Face.. that dolphin picture is amazing!

found my missing memory card in my forever missing luggage from last year trip.pictures are from the infamous Angkor Wat in Cambodia.Angkor Wat has to be a photographer haven,such a dope place to take pictures.going back november so I need buy me a new toy to take some insane pics.

I agree with the comments about cloudy days - if you're shooting buildings and people low down it can be really good. Gives a really nice light and stops a lot of problems from happening. But if you're shooting landscapes or things with a bit of sky in them it can look pretty dull.

I was away this weekend (to the same place that I posted some pictures of the harbour and stuff earlier) and instead of being a flat grey like last time the sky was all moody with big black clouds and loads of contrast. Much more interesting for certain things.

Didn't take any pictures though...
