I wish I'd been there to see you running around trying to get the shot.

Capturing a moment right before the splash!

And a welcome change from the teen gang activity we usually hear about.

It's nice to see what you think works or doesn't (and why). I need to work more at taking multiple shots of a subject from different perspectives, rather than lock on to one.

In response to: Over the shoulder / under the arm http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/photo/2009/02/18/over_the_shoulder_under_the_arm#c149099 2009-02-19T18:40:52Z ibdb I have no formal photographic training, so I couldn't say why these shots work so well, either. But I agree completely that they do. As a viewer, these shots immediately work to draw me into what's happening in the scene. I don't just look at these images, I am pulled into them. The first gives me the best sense of being there as a participant, passing out the tickets myself. The last gives me the best sense of being there to hear the story, and not just standing at a distance, watching what's happening. I'll have to look for more opportunities to try that myself. I have some shots that are similar, but not nearly as tight. Looking back at them, several could have been improved by doing more of what you did here.

The tighter shot made for a quicker read to me. This kind of image isn't any deeper than that. I liked the proximity of the climber to the face on the sign. A juxtaposition image. Thanks for looking. Joe Thanks for looking.

To me this view almost seems to make him a part of the billboard but it also shows the scale of the billboard man.

It's simpler -- avoiding the busy background behind the worker of the first (though the background is important to what he does, and is part of the story, it's not as visually appealing to me), the extra graphic of the second, and the extra text of the last. The 3rd is also the only one where the climbers hands are visible, which gives me a better sense of motion and purpose to his being there. Add in that it feels better balanced between the worker and the billboard and it's an easy choice for me. Nice captures.

I'd almost given up. Thanks for taking the time to explain some of the how and why behind some great shots. The log boom shot is great.

These "hail Mary's" or shots-from-the-hip are great examples of putting the camera somewhere new and different to get a view that would otherwise be missed. I'm particularly fond of the low angle shots.

I know I've taken shots with these features and sometimes thought they were pleasing but didn't really totally understand why they occurred or whether there was a way to control the effect.
