That is that spot in Sydney where the gay male prostitutes used to hang out in the early 80's before they found out they could make more dressed in drag on William st.

The image is very workable and in the hands of the right person could be made into a really nice picture. The thing I find so odd about Bret's obsession with the issue of highlights being "blown" is that as far back as 1965, I and such historically successful Portrait Photographers such as the late Peter Fox (two Melbourne city studios) have been using blown highlights to create artistic images or obfuscate objects in a photo that by necessity could not be composed out. Wedding Photography is not done in a studio, you have to make the best of what you are presented with. No hope of booking a shoot and packing up your gear because it's raining or the sun is too harsh or you don't like standing on building rubble to get a shot. You have no option by to make the best of what you have. http://www.brisbaneweddingphotographers.com/images/rach-1.png Is just such an example of making do with a bride preparing herself in an overcrowded, unfinished house being renovated and used as an office while housing two families. This art print uses blown highlights and image diffusion where the original had none to conceal the fact this lady was in an office environment for her wedding portraits. I used a program called "mystical lighting" to obtain this effect with Photoshop. It's true that my style of wedding photography is different. That doesn't mean it should be degraded by idiots looking to grandstand at my expense. Different styles is what makes this world a colourful place. Bret Hogan is obsessed with technical correction in an image. I prefer to use my camera as a tool for artistic expression. That's just one reason why he take photographs for fun and I take them for a living. Incidentally... Should I get the http://www.Anika1980.com wedding gallery out of moth balls to demonstrate how not to blow a highlight?

I think there is a difference between going for a "high key" look like you did there and blowing highlights that could have been maintained using proper technique. One is intentional and one is not. I even tried my hand at the high key look. Maybe you remember this one? http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/58907455 Oh by the way, D-Mac ..... made ya look! : > http://www.brisbaneweddingphotographers.com/images/rach-1.png Is just such : > an example of making do with a bride preparing herself in an overcrowded, [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] : : Oh by the way, D-Mac ..... made ya look!
