Well done.

Rayyan:

Stunning! The color, composition, subject, all great. Her knee up to support the hand sewing. Probably works long days. Pakistan? India? Nepal?

Matt: Grateful for your kind word, Matt. Nepal, just across the Indian border.

Regars.

Excellent for Composition, Structure,Contrast & Every Darn Thing Else! Man, I Love This Shot!!!

Beautiful! Such Nice Comp & Rendering Of The Zeiss!

Thanks, Steve.

Steen, Rayyan, Corlan more magic (and no idea whatsoever on that mystery structure, Corlan). Thanks for the inspiration guys!

Corlan: Very X-Files! Crematorium? Highway rest stop with overly elaborate viewing/cell tower? Nice photo with the strong form and the planted filed just coming up.

Cheers, Matt

Corian: Thanks a lot. I think that;s a cell phone repeater tower you have there Corian.

Well you guys are as clueless than i was -so i feel better .

I readily admit that there's an element missing in the picture: the canal. But that i did not know either. :banghead:

In fact, the whole structure is a... boat "elevator".
Not the small kind mind you: around 170 yards high, and it can lift and tow huge barges up to 1,500 tons total (!!) over a mile distance, @ the lighting speed of... 1m/s. It's used to compensate a steep slope between the two canal levels of around 80 yrds. :lecture:

Sorry for the headache

Another over the top series, Steve.
The three above are my favourites, almost too good to be true. The first for the irradiating strength, #3 for the surreal moment and balance, last quoted for the calm, assured stance and perfect light.


Notwithstanding, this one below i feel is a keeper for life :

Why make a movie such as the Wrestler, when you have a photo like this?

(not implying that your friend Mike bear any ressemblance, but...)

Thank you Steve, impressive body-building shots of your friend Mike, and man, that post processing ... !
and thanks Lloyd, very captivating Woman of Steel triathlon shots !
and thanks Matt, just love your latest sailboat picture, so intense and dramatic !
and thanks rayyan, your nepalese woman sewing is absolutely stunning, beautiful, beautiful !
oh, and Lars, I just saw that you have actually already answered us that your fisheye capture was processed in-camera from raw !

Steve: Great series of photos! A visual narrative of Mike. The tone and character of the B&W really works with the subject (punctuated by the lone color shot). You really used the light (and mirrors) well. :salute: Cheers, Matt

Thanks Rayyan! You Can Never Have Enough Tough "Buddies" In The World!

Terrific set, Steve. Mike's pretty impressive too.

(...) Heard it was a wonderful city with many artifacts and architecture.

I've shown you some of the architecture
With regards to artifacts I'm more of a street rat than a museum lion, so I may not be the right to ask.
But according to this gentleman you are absolutely right

She's beautiful! I might have missed something - did she got married yesterday?

I'm also surprised Alex, some days ago we were talking about prom night, weren't we?
How fast things go...

(or it's just a nice dress)


Beautifully shot, Lloyd. Fill light is absolutely spot on.

I've been busy with my Europe trip preparations recently but this is all positive. I got myself Nikon 14-24/2.8 but haven't really tried it yet. Hopefully tomorrow will do some shooting. For now some pics from recent days (D3x, DC 135/2):

I know, I keep shooting this skyline. Eventually, I'll get it right. Cheers, Matt.

Hey guys, if we keep the 3-post-in-the-same-minute rate, Lloyd will have to open a new thread... next week.

:deadhorse:


Alex, these are super cool. You always seem to find interesting (upper) angles in your cityscapes.

note: if you toured Europe though, you might as well tell us each time where the shots were taken (for one, i'm personally totally dumb at recognizing cities or even countries from photos, even places where i used to stay )

Here's the group shot of my students (including yours truly). The middle school principal once again made the mistake of letting us take our own picture (bwahahahahahaha!), and this is the result.

Nikon D700 + Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8@ 1/200s, f/4, manual, two 150W no-name studio lights shot through white umbrellas, no-name radio trigger for flashes, camera on a timer.

Or... you'll get us first :ROTFL:

Hm, ok. You're getting close... maybe a tad to the left?

Talking about "time lapse"...

Lovely result Carlos. Again.
Btw, why "5 remaining students"?
