I wish I'd been there to see you running around trying to get the shot. http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/photo/2009/08/19/the_excitement_of_fishing_no_really#c177033 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:26:15 +0000 brymarbuch c176420@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ Great shot, reminded me of that famous photo by Cartier-Bresson of the man jumping over the puddle. Capturing a moment right before the splash! http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/photo/2009/08/03/tube_launch#c176420 Sat, 08 Aug 2009 22:23:21 +0000 JanieJones c175972@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ It's always nice to see kids who take time to learn useful skills like that.

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. http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/photo/2009/05/29/finding_a_lead_shot_at_lesa#c169704 Wed, 13 May 2009 16:30:24 +0000 venticarmel c166751@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ Nice job Lions, you played your hearts out!! http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/photo/2009/05/13/stadium_aamp_bellarmine_prep_soccer_3#c166751 Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:21:08 +0000 ibdb c160024@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ I'm not quite sure what's happening here today -- I've tried commenting on posts, only to have those comments not appear, and then later appear in duplicate.

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. http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/photo/2009/01/26/look_up_once_in_a_while#c146382 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 07:50:51 +0000 ibdb c146238@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ I prefer the 3rd. 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.

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. http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/photo/2008/12/31/2008_so_many_hail_marys#c142724 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 03:22:49 +0000 brymarbuch c141453@http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/ Thanks for the interesting information about flare and ghosts!
