Chris DeYoung replied to the topic Trying Something Different in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 5y, 2mo ago
I like it, but I think it depends a bit on what you want it to be. In particular, you said “The landscape guy in me still wants to leave a bit of the ground in the shot to give it scale and depth.”
Is it a landscape? If so, ok. If it’s an abstract though, then it doesn’t need scale or depth, at least not in the sense you’d apply to a landscape.…[Read more]

For those who use calibrated monitors, is this pretty much something to do once and then you’re good, or do they drift and you need to re-do it every once in awhile?
I’m currently using an Asus PB278 and I did a calibration with the Spyder5 Express (the low end one) and DisplayCal — seems better, I’d say.

Chris DeYoung replied to the topic idle hands in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 5y, 2mo ago
I like it, though if you’re going for creepy (and you’re okay working with photoshop), how about more hands? And maybe make them all left hands, or right hands? đŸ™‚ Might not work, but I’d be curious to see how it comes out.

I still can’t find an easy workflow for EXIF data. *sigh*

Chris DeYoung replied to the topic Weekend Photography Challenge #415 Old/New in the forum Weekly Photography Challenge 5y, 3mo ago
Old subject perhaps, because cardinals are generally photogenic? But mostly, new lens, 150-450 zoom. Whee! Also perhaps new, image made with Pentax gear, which I expect is becoming increasingly rare. đŸ™‚
(Though this isn’t the shark tank, CC is always welcome for me if you notice something to point out.)

Chris DeYoung replied to the topic Advice on laptop or tablet. in the forum General Photo Chit Chat 5y, 3mo ago
I recently picked up a Dell G7 gaming laptop for a general purpose mobile platform; it’s okay, but quite noticeably slower than my desktop for running Lightroom (classic). I haven’t tried to do much in Photoshop on it at this point.
Another thing I notice is that the color is only okay on its display; the gamut is a little limited. It’s fine for…[Read more]

Chris DeYoung replied to the topic Branch Arc in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 5y, 3mo ago
I did a little experimenting with black and white; a low key version and a high key version. This is fairly quick and dirty, but you get the idea — lots of room to play with!

Hi Katie,
I like the composition and the idea here, nice catch.
A couple of suggestions — one, it looks to me like it could be straightened slightly; the horizon rises to the right a bit, so the background trees lean a little left overall. Two, it’s a little hard to be certain with the resolution in the post, but it looks to me like your focal…[Read more]

Hi!
Another new user here; I’ve been searching around a little in hopes of expanding the photography-related forums I participate in, and this looks like a good addition.
I’m not a complete beginner, but nowhere near being a pro by any means either. I mostly shoot landscapes and nature, wildlife, and candid people shots. I don’t have the time or…[Read more]
