My Photos from May

[rssilverandlight]

OK, here we go -

Andi - your do excellent landscapes, nice angle on pub shot
watch the camera tilts to the left (Louvre and ocean shot)

demarias - you captured a great moment in your photograph

ray - you could have said anything to your wife about thirty years
and you would have been safe (you were in a wire enclosure)

darcy - a priceless "in the moment photograph" of little curls

becky - on your Paris skyline, it would be of help to show us
2/3 ground and 1/3 sky. Easily remedied with cropping on
the computer. try not to cut the picture in half.

I will have an IR shot in my book of the Medici Fountain in Luxembourg Park, but I somehow missed the mask

Don't shoot the statute in the Rodin straight on, move to the right, get rid of the tourist and don't have the statute in front of
the arches, it's a good shot.

Willow - good night shots. The Louvre from Tuilleries is the
finest shot I have seen done from there. The statute in
front of the iron fence could be improved by photographing it more
from the right so it is not backed by the tree. ET is a killer shot !

Thanks to all of you for sharing your images; I am happy to provide feedback.

Thank you for your input Randy ;D, I hadn't noticed the tilt to the left but since you mention it, it is definitely there and on other pictures I have too! I wear glasses for an astigmatism (apparently this makes lines unbalanced, you think you see things level, but they aren't?) MMMMmm! It's a thought!!!. I will experiment but try not to over compensate and tilt to the right I have a few pictures from Pere LaChaise that I will upload here for you soon, I know you said that you had taken some on your travels so I would like some advice on them, thanks once again, Andi

Andi - two things may help with the tilt in spite of astigmatism.
1. line up the top,bottom or 1 side of the viewfinder with a vertical
or horizontal line in your picture.
2. your camera may have now or you can push a button to place
a grid of lines in your viewfinder and that can take care of the
tilt problems by just lining up a vertical or horizontal line in the
photograph with one of those lines.

I'm very excited and looking forward to seeing some of your
images from Pre Lachaise. Yes, it is one of my favorite places
to photograph in Paris and 3 images from there will be in
my book.
