Thanks @speedx. You are absolutely right and your comment has changed my mindset and given me a whole new outlook and goal. I need to improve my technique to take magazine quality images of what seems ordinary to me for those who don’t know areas like this to see something different. Thank you.

Gazania.jpg by Desi on Light Stalking
As I find the scenery in general in the area in which we now live to be fairly uninspiring, I have realised I need to focus on the details instead of bemoaning the lack of beautiful landscapes. One of the things I need to learn is how to take consistently better and more interesting photographs of…[Read more]

The West Coast wild daisies only open in the sunshine. Here the orange coloured daisy is just starting to unfurl itself in the sunshine after the rain, whilst the other flowers are still tightly closed and can barely be recognised as flowers. (they just look like little white or pale yellow dots in the grass). In another hour’s time this…[Read more]

Wild flowers growing on vacant land down near the river. This was taken a couple of weeks ago. By now, when the sun is out, there are fields alongside the roads that look like they are carpeted in snow. Most of the year this is quite barren, almost desolate looking – but for a couple of months at this time of year the whole West Coast…[Read more]

This is part of a skeletonised petal from a hydrangea flower I found while I was pruning. I have taken dozens of shots, trying different backgrounds, but as it is so fine and delicate, a very plain background seens to be the only one that works. I love the idea of this bit of dried out flower, but I just can’t seem to make it work satisfactorily.…[Read more]

Apart from the black area that should be the face of the statue, I like this. It looks like the lighting is behind and above you. Is there any way to visit this spot when the light is from a different direction, or when the light is softer/more diffused, to try and get some detail in the face and chest which is currently just a deep blackness?

What a lovely photo to look at. I agree about the logo looking like a tattoo. I would also ask the mother to move her head slightly in the pose, so that her nose isn’t squashed into a crooked shape, and also to avoid the deep shadow between her nose and the baby’s head. (Though perhaps that shadow could be lightened with post processing?)

Desi replied to the topic I would like to get some feedback on my work. in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
I think it is compositionally and technically really good, but it certainly has me wondering what it is all about. Why are his hands the most important part of the picture? What is the significance of those hands? I like the atmosphere created by the stong lighting and deep shadows, except the blown highlights on his left hand are a bit…[Read more]

Desi replied to the topic Head On in the forum The Shark Tank Feedback Forum 10y, 8mo ago
I agree with @photogmom about the shadows – that was the first thing I noticed even in the thumbnail. Though it is a nice clear portrait, I feel the placement of the subject in the frame doesn’t work for me. There is an extreme amount of white space on the left and nothing appears to have been composed to be on a thirds line – his gorgeous eyes…[Read more]
