Guest JohnLester#31 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 This weekend was a nice weekend to be at the beach on the East coast. Much thanks to hurricane Bill for the rip tides, even though people weren't suppose to be out in the water. Never saw 10+ footers before; I can only imagine what the Pacific looks like. Here's a shot of my boy getting smothered. Made it out alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JohnLester#31 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 This is a friend of mine who was in a wedding this past weekend. Funny thing about her is she never wears makeup or cares to dress up, so it was nice to see a picture of her like the one below. Not taken by me, but she sent it to me to edit for her. Before: After: How else would you guys edit, from the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayorMeanBeans Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 maybe keep a little bit more of the vibrance on the face, and lighten up the reflection in the corner? i like the window in the original, it gets dulled out by the vignette a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayorMeanBeans Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 realized a lot of my photos have been pretty depressing, doesn't really reflect where im at, no place is that simple. here are some 'happy' photos: this kid doing the stanky leg. i have another shot of the kid in profile, with the guy laughing in the background in focus. which do you think is better? on a technical note, im trying to do more portrait orientation shots. i do horizontals too much.

Mercer Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Tried shooting country boy style YeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHHHOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XJONATHONX Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Portrait is better for people. What wrong with depressing? Aren't you there to tell a story? And I answered your question on the last page. If youve got aim, id love to talk to you about this shit. Edit: To mayormenino Mercer like the flicks, the night ones great. Ive always wanted to do start trails way the fuck out in the country but have never gotten out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Thats honestly the first time I've taken any shot where you can even see stars. I used my flash about 15 times in that pic and you can see it just above the right of the blue tarp. I thought I made sure I didn't fuck up using the LCD on the camera but oh well, still like that pic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MayorMeanBeans Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I present to you Lucas (depressing ass story to follow)--- 10 years old and blind. Born with sight, fell out of bed as a toddler and needed stitches on his head. The doctor fucked up and severed the nerves that go to and from the eyes. His parents are crackheads, he lives with his grandmother. His brother was a drug dealer, the day before he was killed, he gave Lucas a piano. Ever since, he has been completely obsessed with the piano, plays at the jazz school I got my grant from as much as possible, about 4 hours a day: this photoshoot depressed the fuck out of me. what i really like about how the photos turned out though is that they're not depressing at all. instead, they show how happy the piano makes him (even if there's no piano in the shot), despite all the immense bullshit he has to deal with always. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBchit Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 mercer is that what you were talking about getting the worst possible photographs(everything but the last)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Kind of, just trying to look at it more like art, not textbook photography. I'm not experienced enough to pull off what I want to pull off but I'm practicing. Most people will think they "suck" even worse than my blurred out tilt shift stuff but I like them.

JBchit Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 your tilt and shift stuff? i usually like em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn1_fuckos Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Mercer this one here is the shit! reminds me of a painting and the blur looks like if they were brush strokes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I forgot to say my friend Chris took the last photo I posted. I set up F1.8 ISO1600 and .8 second speed but he lined it up, timed and took it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XJONATHONX Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Are you the tuff guy in the middle? :lol: When you say "trying to do what I want to do" what is it exactly youre looking to do? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
