Looks more like he’s saying “Come play with me!” Nice environmental pet portrait.

You are welcome. It was in our dining room so not a very long hike.

Pan with your whole body. Follow even after the shutter has finished. Really good tips.

One of the things I do to break up the repetitive nature of photographing the kayakers is to photograph some of the spectators. I’m not sure you’ll find this skill described in any of the articles dealing with sharpness in image making.

I really like this, especially the first one–the crop (or lack thereof) gives it a bit of breathing room. We had a person make a presentation on still life at our January Camera Club meeting. She kept making fun of herself and alllll the props she picked up. She and her husband thought they would downsize since retirement, but they needed to…[Read more]

Thanks @dahliaambrose and @admin. Mom seemed pleased. I don’t often do these people shots and even less often approach the subjects to show them themselves. I really should do that more often.

Thank you. Another in the looong list of “listen to your spouse” images. She suggested this fairly extreme crop when looking at the original image that had a lot of foreground and some sticks rising out of the water that I originally thought made nice foreground interest.

Adding white will increase the harshness you initially spoke of. As others have suggested though, using the curves to adjust midtones gives a lot more control. “”Flat” is often the result of lack of contrast in the midtones more than the white/black ends of the histogram.

Good stuff already…and plenty to work with on a cold winter’s night.

Thanks, Rob. There was a good bit of sunlight and scattered clouds, so conditions were brighter than I had hoped. Lightroom’s updated masking functions makes selecting the subject scary-easy, so I can recover the person from shadows as I had to do on every one of the images except for those intentionally in silhouette.

Another in the “street photography” that isn’t on a street. These 2 are siblings. I waited and waited for brother to do something other than stare at his phone. Still, Mom was happy to have access to the picture when I showed it to her and gave her my card with access information. November 2022.

Here’s another from my outing at the Millrace Challenge. I am interested in ideas anyone might have about ways to find more variety in these sorts of images. Here’s a link to the full set..

I do enjoy it for awhile, then it starts to feel a bit repetitive. I need to rethink my strategy to add variety to the experience and some uniqueness to the images.

I agree with Jasenka, though my monitor settings may render the displayed image differently than a printed version-which this (really all) of your stilllifes seem to deserve. Keep the dark background.
