Picture of the Day

[grskier]

Love this shot. It's the look on both the bulls and the riders face!

Edit: The snot trail is pretty cool too.

I also like the cowboy coming over the fence... his body language is all... this guy again

Great use of a wide-angle!

Hope you don't mind a few critiques...
Would have been better if the people were sharper (realize it's almost impossible with an 8" exposure) and facing a bit more towards the camera.
A lot of blank sky -- maybe crop a bit make it a pano?
A lot of gray ground to the right.

But why didn't you give the top of the tower there a few mm's of breathing room?

So I went and 'shopped this image, something I almost never do (which is why I didn't even think of it in the first place), to add some more sky:

don't mind any crit at all on that one. (or any)

forgot the tripod at camp, it was a full moon hot spring session and I missed the beautiful moonrise to the left of the frame with the nice pink horizon. But, I forgot the tripod so I couldn't really get that shot anyway. That was a real bummershit. So, instead of doing what picture takers usually do, I actually enjoyed the moonrise and drank a couple of beers, then decided that I might as well take a shot with the camera stacked on everyone's towels on the wall. I wanted to get the hills in the shot since the moonlight lighting those up was just about the only interesting view at the time. And, while a great hot spring with a real-world nice view, these aren't as photogenic as the other hot springs that didn't accommodate a group as well. I guess I was trying to not put too much lipstick on a hog.

Really it comes down to not having the tripod and missing the rad shot.




the photo comes from a trip with a group from work doing trail maintenance off the june lake loop, here's a few more

Baby snapshots seem to be what I do these days (until the Tokina 11-16 shows up on Monday, anyway).

You'll love it! The focus ring is pretty odd and takes a little getting used to but the lens is saweet!

Yeah buddy, well 'shopped. THAT is something you should print.

This without the rock on the left ftw. Gorgeous colors, but the rock adds nothing (in either shot for that matter).
