August 2-8 Wally

Minnehaha Falls. Found out from my instructor that I could have used a a bigger aperture setting if I would have used a three stop neutral density filter. That would have given me more detail and less wash out at the top of the falls. Ha. Didn't even know they made such a thing and certainly didn't know why you would use one. Chalk it up as another good reason to take a class. Thanks again, Kirk.

This is taking HDR to an extreme, however with this picture I think it works

Comment from Wally's instructor on last entry

Hi Dennis,
I think it's an excellent shot and just goes to show that with a little lateral thinking you can find potential pictures just about anywhere. The use of the the rearview mirror on a bicycle has provided an excellent framing of the two riders behind you and of course due to the shallow depth of field as a result of the moderately wide lens aperture that you chose it is only the reflected image that appears sharp so the surface of the track in front of you is completely out of focus and therefore does not distract the viewer in any way. I would have preferred to see the entire frame of the mirror, rather than the way the top edge is cropped through by the top edge of the camera frame, as I feel this would have strengthened the sense of a frame within a frame. It's great to read that the assignment is got you thinking about the different ways that you can shoot a subject. All in all it's a great piece of work and exactly what I was looking for in the framing part of the assignment, so well done and congratulations on this being a Photo of the Week!

Serious breach of protocol.

Kirk asked me to put this on the site and since he's probably 20% of our viewers I thought it ok to comply.

This is my entry for the "Rule of Thirds" lesson in my Fundamentals of Composition class. Here is the critique from the instructor:

Who says you have to travel far to take great pictures! This is a really striking shot Dennis with bags of impact not only from the strong colour but also the wonderful textures created by the water droplets and your strong composition. Using a circle within a square or rectangle frame is always a powerful design and you have used that to good effect here placing the centre of the flour away from the middle of the frame and then moving in close to make the most of the pattern of radiating lines formed by the petals. It's definitely a great example of how less can be more, which is a recurring theme that I teach in workshops, because the more time you spend studying a subject in more potential pictures you will see by looking at the detail rather than the subject in its entirety. This is a really great piece of work, well done, and congratulations on being a Photo of the Week!
