@yogirajj – thanks for the edits! I see what you mean about desaturating the greens, although I might be tempted to desaturate it a little less and also leave the person a bit more saturated (ie keep more of the green to make the image look less like one of those tacky B&W-with-one-colour ones).
The bike I thought added a bit of…[Read more]

Cats cats catsHey everyone,
OK, so the title may have overpromised a little – only 2 cats here!
The first one’s mine, a lovely and ludicrously docile British blue shorthair house cat.
This one is my friend’s at their house in rural Hungary, a rather more fierce guy. Pretty sure he was focusing on some noise nearby when I took…[Read more]

Nice. I might have been tempted to focus on the left-hand tree and the house and try leaving out the right-hand tree, but this way works really nicely as well. The strange clouds add a lot to this one – maybe if they popped a bit more they’d add even more?
Cheers,

Henley-on-Thames, UKEvening,
One from a few years back, from the Cambridge University Lightweight Rowing Club’s Trial VIIIs at Henley, England. The weather had suddenly gone completely mad, from a nice/slightly overcast day to the whole world going sepia. This was followed by a *heavy* hailstorm lasting a couple of minutes while the sun shone…[Read more]

@kalaman – Definitely. I always find myself wanting to rush and get things done to not inconvenience the subject further. Can’t help but feel like a bit of an odball asking to take pictures of random strangers with a big camera, particularly with women. Does this happen to you as well? Check It Out

Hi Richard,
Lovely part of the world you’ve found yourself in! Photo wise, in my opinion the foreground clouds are too aggressively edited – looks out of sync with the white clouds behind. Unless there was, in fact, that dramatic a storm front coming in? In which case, kudos for not having run away yet đŸ˜‰
I always have a hard time…[Read more]

Interesting! It looks a bit crowded in the insideof the arch (maybe lightening the buildings there might help?), but big kudos for getting to wherever you were! What’s your strategy for getting to rooftops/places not normally accessible? Would be interested in giving it a go myself. Check It Out

Following the lovely words from @karamen and @ed-aldridge I attach the second photo from that session where I asked the person’s permission.
I only noticed back at home how well her lipstick and phone cover matched the door – I guess with practice I’ll learn notice such things straight away! Again, she was on her phone so I asked her to just…[Read more]

Thanks – and good point. I’ll have a play and see if I can mute the red a little bit.
Regarding asking people – completely depended on the situation! I only asked 2 people who were sitting alone and a little away from the bustle down a quiet alleyway, stuff like that. In the busier parts, I shot away much like you would have – but the candid…[Read more]

First attempts at street photos…Following advice from @ed-aldridge , I went to Soho the other evening to try and get out of my comfort zone and take some photos of people. Most of them were candid, for this particular one I checked with the guy if he was happy for me to take his photo. Nikon D7000, Nikon 50mm f/1.8. 1/200s, 50mm, f/2.8, ISO 800.…[Read more]

Jon Fuhrmann replied to the topic B&W Portrait critique / comparison in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 9y, 8mo ago
I think I would prefer this without the child’s head/hair cut off. Personally I prefer the first, wider shot as it gives a little more context – this is nice what is not a “classic” portrait, if that makes sense. That said, I wonder if this would not have been a picture with really nice, soft colours if shot in colour? In B&W it currently lacks a…[Read more]

In the House of CommonsMorning all,
One of my first attempts at covering a professional event. This was shot with a Nikon D7000, Nikon 35mm f/1.8, and an SB-700 flash gun. 1/250s, f/2.8, ISO 2000.
I’ve done a little bit of Photoshop work on it, mostly lightening the two men in the foreground. It was a bit of a rudimentary affair, lassoing…[Read more]

Hi @claudia-betia, thanks for your input.
I wanted the inner part of the gateway to be black, nothing else would have fit with the mood there. We arrived in the black of night and I was decidedly creeped out by the place. This was taken the next morning after camping next to the barrow, and I was surprised to find that the creepy nature of it…[Read more]

Out of interest, how did you plan this one in advance? It seems very specific. Did you see a similar picture somewhere? I’d like to start doing this, planning out shots a little more before going places rather than just snapping away.
The selective desaturation, while a little tacky as far as my personal taste is concerned, works really nicely…[Read more]

I love the first one for the expression, and the latest one for the contrast and general setup. Amazing what you can do with a smartphone – I wish I could with an SLR. I’m in London as well, but I just haven’t worked up the confidence to go out and try my hand at street photos/candid portraits. Gonna have to give it a go sometime – any…[Read more]

Into the DarkEvening everyone,
So this one is a slightly different submission – and I hope that HDR is not out of place in the Shark Tank. This was taken on a grey early morning right at the entrance of West Kennet Long Barrow in Wiltshire, England. Nikon D80, Tokina 12-24mm@12mm (18mm equivalent), 3 exposures.
For HDR I use Photomatix as I…[Read more]
