This is one of the few occasions in which the title plays an important role in a photograph. The colour palette has a nice harmony, it even feels logical… If that makes any sense at all…

I really like the moody ambiance you captured due to the general underexposure, but there is something ticking me about the shot. And that’s the…[Read more]

Hi there mate @andy-chalk, and welcome to our place! I’m sure you’ll find it quite friendly, and you’ll learn more about photography along the way. Please, feel free to share some of your shots with us at the general chat, or at the feedback forum if you’ll want some useful comments on your photos.

Oh, what genre are you currently interested in…[Read more]

Thanks a lot mate!

I really like how the light separates the flowers from the background, it sort of looks like a carefully crafted painting.

What a fine selection @diripics, congrats Anne, Rob and Jasenka! The whole batch of images can be seen here :)!

I’m all in with this idea mate!

Hi there Joanne, better late than never :)! You have some really nice photographs, thanks for sharing your talent with us and keep’em coming!

Hi there George, and welcome back to our place! It is really nice to hear that you have some more free time for spending it here at Light Stalking with us :)!

I find this quote to be very accurate for our current times. Along Helen Levitt, Elliott Erwitt has been a huge inspiration for me. Imposing a huge challenge of course, of seeing the everyday with humor.

Whoa! That’s more than 40 years of being in love with photography, what a joy mate.

That’s a really interesting insight about Pentax, I have two a Super-ME and a K1000 (which I inherited from my grandfather), and they are still in pristine conditions. I use them to explain the mechanics of th shutter and the aperture to my students by the…[Read more]

Congrats Anne!!! It is a really piercing gaze.

NOOO, that gives life to the photo! Dahlia’s advice is the right call, you should brighten up the person a bit.

Hi there Anne, very interesting shot! Yup, the monochrome version enhances that abstract nature from all the shapes in this massive structure.

This reminds me of some of the rare black and white photos made by William Eggleston. I like Erik’s suggestion, but I wouldn’t obscure the clouds that much. The idea is nice though. Perhaps a middle point between the original and his suggestion to retain some of the bright tones on the clouds.

It is true that the person on the water looks very small. Perhaps a nice crop could enhance the image, just consider that the three main boulders in the foreground give a very pleasing effect thanks to the rule of odds, so don’t make it too tight.

Here is a suggestion:

Also, I find that the overall exposure and tonal treatment is great. No…[Read more]

Quite similar, but with a different purpose. I use Pinterest for curating specific photographers’ work, which I then use for sharing with my students when I need to illustrate something about an author. Here is what I’ve been doing if anyone find it useful: https://www.pinterest.com/fdalegriag/boards/

Oh my! That’s surely a giant, but is the baby elephant making up for the scale the one telling us about that enormous size. Lovely and compelling photograph Charmaine, thanks for sharing it with us.

This is a great thread!

Nothing to improve from my behalf, just thank you because I’ve tried seeing the Neowise and it has been impossible for me to do it 😢

On my opinion, this photograph needs to me retaken Miriam. The light is way too hard, and it kills a lot of the skin soothing texture. And as you have already spotted, there is something iffy about the focus.

If you consider my suggestion, a wider crop could look better, and a smaller aperture value could enhance the focus on her eyes.
