Hi, I would like you visit my web. Coments about photos are welcome. Thanks Julio. -- Julio Rodríguez - Fotografías # Photographs http://www.supercable.es/~juliors > Hi, > > I would like you visit my web. Coments about photos are welcome. Oh well, while you're at it.... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ahewitt/Gallery I liked yours though, although I do find the old veggies in a heap picture has been rather overdone now.

I'm running the monitor on this machine at 1152x864 and can just about see the whole image if I maximise the browser (FireBird in this case) but still get the scroll bar for the top frame as it appears to try and tell me that there's more to the right. But there isn't... Can't get the Scarboro' panorama on one screen tho' without having it stick out of the monitor to the left and right :-). I like the "Artistic Snow" - well, I'm a sucker for B&W, see the link below - but I'd be tempted to try and give it a bit of a 'cold' tone (i.e. blueish) appearance. Sparkler1 & 2 are, as you say, pretty effective. Well, I like 'em :-). Not so sure about the first one, though. Just doesn't talk to me, that. ScarBoroDusk catches the mood nicely, but I'd be tempted to crop it into panoramic format buy cutting off most of the 'clutter' at the bottom and about half the sky (so you get another grey strip on top of the bright yellowish one which is about the same height). Not quite like your panoramic one but fairly similar. Cute guinea pig panorama, but again it don't fit the screen... Right, I'll now be waiting for a hatchet job done on my pictures :-).

I'll try using iPhoto instead, that does seem to make a better job. > Can't get the Scarboro' panorama on one screen tho' without having it > stick out of the monitor to the left and right :-). Yes, I did make the images a slightly larger size, perhaps I should cut them down a bit. > I like the "Artistic Snow" - well, I'm a sucker for B&W, see the link > below - but I'd be tempted to try and give it a bit of a 'cold' tone > (i.e. blueish) appearance. Righto, although for all these images I just left PS to make adjustments using the 'Auto' buttons. I'll perhaps try some more tweakign later on. Nice tip though, cheers. > Sparkler1 & 2 are, as you say, pretty effective. Well, I like 'em > :-). Not so sure about the first one, though. Just doesn't talk to me, > that. Yes, I was just trying to see what effects could be got in such photography, I know I need more practice there. > ScarBoroDusk catches the mood nicely, but I'd be tempted to crop it > into panoramic format buy cutting off most of the 'clutter' at the > bottom and about half the sky (so you get another grey strip on top of > the bright yellowish one which is about the same height). Not quite > like your panoramic one but fairly similar. Righto. That's something I definitely need more practice with, I can never decide how to crop images. > Cute guinea pig panorama, but again it don't fit the screen... LOL. that one was actually cropped. I just put than in for a laugh. Believe it or not they were all born on the same day, and are offspring from our own animals. > Right, I'll now be waiting for a hatchet job done on my pictures :-). Of course, we have to reciprocate the favour :-) Nice actually. Indeed, you may even spark a new interest in B/W photography for me. I used to help a mate at school who had a darkroom, and was generally spoilt by his parent - he had a Canon A1 at 15 FFS. I used to quite enjoy messing with the photos, and playing around with processing effects. > T., wondering if he should be relieved that there's no Alfa to service > any more... Absobleedinlootely! Thanks for the tips, I think I may well redo that a bit, perhaps using iPhoto instead, as that has more control over the size of the images, and automates the regulation too. Cheers.

Better fit for a standard monitor, they are. What standard? I have 1024x768, but we tend to use 800x600 at work. My Mum uses 832x624. I had to reduce the resolution to not exceed 640x480. I was attempting to offer a reasonable resolution for viewing offline in a proper graphics app though. I *know* I shouldn't have bothered. One thing I don't understand though, is that I made that panoramic view 800 wide (mainly because it was very low in vertical height), but it didn't come out as I expected, it shoudl have easily filled the width of the screen.

You probably need to have a look at the HTML that's been generated, see if the image width is set, this might trigger the browser to rescale the picture.

Coments about photos are welcome. I enjoyed your site Julio. You have a good eye for architectural shots, I was very impressed. Best wishes :-) Thanks for your words. I'm surprised with the reaction of the people to the architectural photos. It isn't the kind of photo I prefer. I prefer the photography of people. But when I went to New York it was impossible not to have the tentation of take photos of the buildings. Thanks and best wishes.

I love the architectural photos too, but your people photos tell me this is where your heart lies. You have a great eye for a photograph in general. Some of the people photos are very intimate moments, and I wondered if you ask people for permission to photograph them or just take the photograph anyway? They are so unposed and yet some of them are very "up close and personal". Care to share your methods? SignatureJanie http://www.janie-thomson.co.uk > > I'm surprised with the reaction of the people to the architectural photos. > > It isn't the kind of photo I prefer. I prefer the photography of people. [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > anyway? They are so unposed and yet some of them are very "up close and > personal". Care to share your methods? Hi, I make me this question many times when I see the catalogues of my favourite photographs like Salgado, Natchwey or Cartier-Bresson. The question have you make me is the question I would like to make to this great photographers. Most of times the people see I'm taking a picture. If they show disapproval I don't shot and if the picture was taking I don't show. The first time I travelled to USA I make a photo of a fat person seated in front of a bakery. When I shot the camera I could see a bad face in this person. Nobody has seen this picture. This is the only moment like photographer I felt like a bad person. Now I think more before press the shotter. On time I was waiting my flight in Los Angeles Airport. It was late. More or less around midnight. The hall was lonely and only was a young woman sleeping in the floor. Near of her head there was clock that shows the hour to wake up and an issue of the Fortune magazine. It was perfect to shot with a wide angle showing "her dreams" and the solitude of the hall. I didn't make the photo. The question is: What shall do one of these great photographers like Salgado, Webb or Natchwey? Other times I use a simple "Would you mind if I take a picture?" It works more than you may think. But when you are in a public manifestation normally there is no problem. Think in the people of the photos from the Holy Week of Seville. Everybody knows that there are many lenses "watching".

Personally I haven't been brave enough to go out and, erm, 'shoot' people, I prefer scenery shots myself.

I think I just have to be brave and do it. There are some situations where it's obviously polite to ask, which I will continue to do, but sometimes the moment is gone if you stop to ask, or worse the person poses in a self-conscious way. SignatureJanie http://www.janie-thomson.co.uk <Snip> > http://www.janie-thomson.co.uk Janie, Sorry to intrude on the conversational flow here but I just had to stop in and say that I've just been over to your web site and I really liked it. IMHO the whole site works really well and looks great but more importantly it really showcases your photographic work, which is excellent. I've only just started to take photography seriously as a hobby (I'm still at that stage where I know so little that I have to take it seriously, I hope some day soon to reach the point where I know enough that I can start to really have some fun ;-) ). I saw in some of your photographs exactly the sort of images that I want to be producing for myself and I just wanted to say thank you for taking the trouble to share them with us. Best Regards, Raist. > <Snip> > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > IMHO the whole site works really well and looks great but more importantly > it really showcases your photographic work, which is excellent. Feel free to interrupt me with comments like that anytime ;-) And you signed the guestbook, which so few people take the time to do. I'm tinkering with a bit of a redesign of the site just now (and will be slimming it down to just photography before moving ISPs in the next week), but I won't be putting it live till I'm sure the redesign is better than the current one, so that may be never. > I've only just started to take photography seriously as a hobby (I'm still > at that stage where I know so little that I have to take it seriously, I > hope some day soon to reach the point where I know enough that I can start > to really have some fun ;-) ).

I'm glad you found it inspiring in some small way. I still consider myself very much a newbie compared to so many of the posters here. Taking a basic evening class was the biggest leap forward for me. Once you have the basics under your belt you can really have fun with it, as you said. Remember, if you get discouraged, that the selection you see on other people's sites is only the selection they allow you to see. The failures are at home hiding in a drawer someplace.

Can't resist adding ...that those who have no failures, have no successes either!! Mind you I could do with a few more successes - I am my biggest critic. ;-( Mike [The reply-to address is valid for 30 days from this posting] SignatureMichael J Davis <>< He took so long to get the photo he said he was 'composing' that I thought he might be doing just the opposite. <>< |
