Here is a shot of the W hotel in Dallas I took with my old D200.


Tons more in my gallery pages on pbase.

Nice portfolio I like the group in bw past/2003 it looks like the field of flags was an infrared shot. You should try more special effects to make the images stand out more to give them more interest that way your images will be different from another guy making the same shot that way yours will be different and more memorable and the underwater shots are good also vibrant I notice you used fugi film it is a good film for color saturation witch played well in the underwater shots you use of that film made the shots stand out with the saturated color. Well done.

I disagree with this in part.

First let me clarify...I am not a photographer...I just know what I like.

Ok..here is what I disagree with. I don't think it's necessary to use filters or special effects to get a great photo. In my opinion, what makes for a good photographer is the ability to capture something in the lens that others may just look over or past.

Ice has a very good eye ( to me ) for angles and lighting, without resorting to using special effects to make his photos " pop ". I don't think using special effects make a photo any more interesting than not using them. Sometimes...the best photos are very simple and remain untouched by the photographer except for looking through the viewfinder and clicking the button.

Every photographer manipulates the camera in the exposure and the print whether it is a slight focus to emphasize a desired effect or an exposure emphasis or a white balance change for a creative exposure so every one who has used a cameras has made special effects either by design or by mistake and later marveled at the result.

But for those who use simple digital cameras...about the only thing you can control is whether or not a flash goes off. I have seen pictures from those types of cameras that are as good, if not better than some of the more expensive cameras simply because the photographer had caught something at an opportune time.

Of course, there are programs like Photoshop...and I am sure that some manipulate their photos through there. Some do, some don't. Either way, most people ( I am talking normal everyday people like me ) have no idea how to manipulate photos in the program to emphasize any particular thing. Cleaning them up due to red eye, or being slightly out of focus, perhaps. But true image manipulation takes more expertise than many have.

I think that photography is very much about preference. I might like a photo I’ve put up, but you might not. If you do, it makes me feel good because I took the trouble to compose it, take it, edit it for viewing (even if only cropping it to size and uploading it), and was brave enough to show it as my work.

For some, including me, photography is about experimentation, trying to do better, or different, or finding different subjects rather than sticking with the same photos of the same sort of things. Paul’s work interests me, and although some of it is not my cup of tea it is not criticism that I am sure Paul will be worried about, because I have looked at his photos, they have made me think, and perhaps I will come to appreciate them more for what they are and try to emulate them in my attempt to broaden my photography skills.

I expect like Paul, I appreciate people looking at my photographs. Getting feedback is always welcomed, good or bad.

Knigtmare has been brave enough to say what he thinks – and that is only good ;)

I like Ice's work I went to his web site and browsed his site and liked what I saw. I went to David's site also and I liked what I saw and I went to Arizona’s site and liked what I saw they all are creative and show promise and some of the photo’s from all their sites and I wished some of them I had created. I did not see any photos that looked like art. I was a photographer before I was an artist and I choose to make my photos as art instead of representative or realism but more of an Impressionist form of expression much in the way of Van Gough and other who emphasized color and form over realism. There are people who prefer realism type of art and that is the vast majority of our society and realism is what sells and I have noticed that Impressionism is starting to take root and is starting to sell now. I meant no harm I was only suggesting that people be more creative so that their work would stand out more and get noticed more any one can take a shot and it would be much the same as the next guy who took the same shot so be more creative and experiment more and your work will be different then the rest and get noticed more if for good or bad. Beside an artist is always in a critique and he does not take it hard. When he first starts out it is hard the critiques are but he soon takes notice and either accepts the critique and moves on with his work.

Here's a large photo I took earlier tonight. I was with 3 meters of this squirrel, the focal length of my lens set at 300mm zoom. For those interested the shutter speed was 1/15 and ISO speed was 100.

Great shot perfect exposure like the detail in the clouds and in the shadows.
Are you familiar with the Zone System of Ansel Adams?
Here is my take on Mathew Brady I did this with a point and shooter and photoshop.

Here is some Photoshop this is the Miamisburg Ohio Indian Mound it is suppose to be the largest of such Mississippi Indian Tribes. They found an Indian buried inside the mound from atop the mound you can see with binoculars the tallest buildings in Downtown Dayton and some tall buildings in the her suburbs. I add the planes to give the picture interest.

Where are the critiques? Pleases feel free to critique my work. I am used to being critiqued it won't hurt my feelings or pride. In a way this is like a showing at a gallery or art show and all showings have a critique.
This is a Monacan Indian in full regalia for the 500-year anniversary of Jamestown founding. He lives in Amherst County and my town is on the James and has been commercially linked to the river James commerce since the founding of Jamestown so that is why all the festivities.

I will critique this one my self I used the vignette to hide the flaws in this image to hide the concrete and stone work and the light pole growing out of his head so the vignette hides that and I had to dodge his face so it would not be so dark I should have took more time to better compose this one.
