Saw this in the "How To" section and just wanted to comment on how beautifl it is. :) I really liked seeing the contrast between your final work and your "general postcard" shots.
Fantastic overhead shot. I've been to the state capitol and seen this for myself, and I must say, you captured it beautifully! The lighting and clarity are awesome, and the detail you picked up on is incredible. Wonderful job! Definitely deserving of the Blue!
It helps to have a good subject! Also, I think I took about 100 pics that day, to get 3 or 4 that I was happy with. The big advantage of digital - you can learn quickly by making lots of mistakes :)
this photo increases my heart rate; it's rad; amazing variety of tones in the white; excellent aim on the star; great angle, light, and framing; ooh, I want to go there and stand in that spot; majestic
I liked this because the luminous quality of the light combined with the off center spiral shape reminds me of a nautilus shell. The gold star in the middle and gold highlighting combined with the pale blue light coming in from the windows gives an impression of fine porcelain.
Absolutely gorgeous! It's very good of you not to shoot dead center; wouldn't have been as effective. I might have made that mistake had I shot this. Great reapeating elements & curves. The tinge of pastel blue works great against the cream. Makes me feel happy & serene. The white spot at the top left corner detracts from the whole composition
