(never mind the lens hood)

I know you said to ignore it, but the lens hood in the third photo makes me think of hidden cameras and how their lens is almost always partially obscured.

Who are you spying on, Skafey? Is it the man with the newspaper? He looks like he could be up to no good, hiding behind the bar like that.

Great pictures, though. It took me a second to figure out what was going on in the first one.

I'm spying on everyone - I was actually considering posting a small sample of my 50+ "transit candids." Once they find out that their picture is being taken they either stiffen up or cover up.



Thanks for the awesome response, Martian

yeah, the second

2nd for me too

#1 for me. I like how the near stuff is out of focus, and the warm colors popping in what is usually considered a dingy, cold environment.

I think #2 would look neat if the contrast and color of the sky was really exaggerated with some color editing.

Thank you, guys.


I was thinking the same thing - when I'm not so busy (lazy) I'll install that free copy of photoshop 6 I got and give it a whirl.

Thanks.

Nice shots all around, Champ! I really like the first. When did you get into photography? I haven't spoken with you in forever it seems...

I really need to keep up with these threads.

These are very nice. I love them all, but I really love the color and composition in the first one. Plus it has this sense of stillness and movement at the same time. Nice.

Very nice. A friend of mine, Brian Bastinelli, owns fire-ground.com.

He has GREAT shots on there. Take a peek.

It certainly has been a while and it seems like centuries when I take into account the fact we stumbled upon the TFP over 5 years ago...

Thank you, Mixed Media and whatever for such a awesome compliments.
