[align=center:14gn4jws]Have you ever had one of those days where all your shots came out almost surreal but beautiful?
This was one of those days
[/align:14gn4jws]Those are some really nice shots. How much PP did you do on them? i.e.
No Photoshop on these. I was digging through a couple of disk I had made at the office and found these. These are straight from the raw file and done with a little Panasonic Lumix point and shoot. Great little camera, Same bones as the Leica in the same size but half the cost.
If it were waterproof, it would be the perfect fishing camera.
This sky was really strange this whole day, there was smoke from fires everywhere and kind of rainy.
I technically know how to shoot a good shot and what to shoot – I just never take the time to do it, do not have a camera to do it (anymore) and just carry a point and shoot. I get the image and go. I guess it helps that I have extensive art directing experience. I started taking photos just for illustration material and going digital is amazing for just that..
Nice shots Kevin, I really like the second and third ones the most.
It is funny in the context that many think that great images are all skill where the truth is: It is skill plus luck. Joe McNally says that many of his preplaned shots were changed as soon as he got on the set and saw something different, like natural lighting and so on. He also goes on to say that a lot of his finals were shots that were pure accident, still I know that the skill has to be there but compositions do have a tendency to sneak up and reveal themselves. It just takes the willingness of the photographer to stay humble and go out of the box.
