Picture Tuesday

[macdobhran]

I'm getting lazy in my old age. I still plan on putting the pictures from Closing Weekend of MDRF on my website but creating all the thumbnails and coding the html takes time. And I know how you people are with photos. So I created a Flickr account (I'll give you three guesses as to what the name is) so that I could share the photos sooner.


im in ur Fairez, takin ur peekchur

I deleted over half of all the pictures I took because I am my own worst critic. A lot of these aren't as sharply focused or cropped as much as I would have liked but they were the only shot I could get at the time. They're also shrunk down from the original size because I didn't think to change the default picture size (large) before I started shooting. It's going to take me a little while to get used to focusing again. I'm used to the crosshair focus (little circle with crosshairs) but this camera doesn't have that.

Anyway I'll probably start using Flickr to upload most of my photos now because it's so easy and because I'm running out of space on my website.

Thanks sweet one...stalk away!

It's really hard to get "pretty" when someone is singing. I am learning that the hard way.

I was looking through Gary's pictures and was struck with how lovely you are, truly. Though I've seen you at faire every year for the past... four? five? something? it really hit me in the photos of this last weekend.

Great job, Gareth! I can't wait to see more, you shutterbug you. And I've added you on Flickr, too!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind words.

This weekend was very special, as was the entire season. I had a wonderful season, and perhaps that is what showed through.

Not "pretty". I'm not talking about anything physical. There's an immersion, an intensity, when you're in character that I've always wanted to capture on film. I guess that's what I want to capture about every subject.

When autumncat takes a picture of a leaf, there's passion and movement.That's her gift and THAT'S the way I want to photograph--what I want to capture. There is so much of that passion and intensity in everything around us from children to trees to rocks. I see it but I haven't learned to see it with a camera yet.

Does that make sense?

[ptpgrad]

Autumncat has the sharpest and most accurate eye I have seen. Truly, i am in awe of her natural talent, no matter her subject, and you have a great benchmark to reach for.

But yes, I understand that. Finding the heart in the subject, the place where they are so complete in the moment, that it's palpable just through the image.

Hee! Fabulous - you have a really great eye. :)

Nice photos--you really did a great job capturing some crisp images in natural light. I was surprised and a little disappointed that there weren't more boobie pix, though.
