2nd shot this for Pat Furey.

Blogged.

Enjoy. To the serious folk, yes I took a lot of artistic liberties here.

    Yeah you've been doing a very classy job with B&W lately, and agree they're all very Ted-esque, you've really grown into your own unique style! I love seeing how we all mature into our own separate and unique styles on here :)

    Hi Ted,

    Like your work...sometimes I'm not seeing the long term value in some of your images...like number 8 here. You mind explaining exactly what the aesthetic value is to the couple. I can't recognize who or what is in the image.
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.
    Educate yourself like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.

    I appreciate the concern, but I do "normal" shots as well. I usually post what I think is cool. And as I mentioned in the post, I took a lot of artistic liberties as I was 2nd shooting and if I were near the middle I would have been in the main's way.

    Thanks for your explanation. More people should try some out-of-the-box shooting.

    Liking your 3, 7, and 9.

    #9 is one example of the number of people we had to deal with cameras. This guy was with the ipad2, using that as his go to camera. rolleyes1.gif

    I agree with the masses here, that these are very descriptive of your personal style Ted. Even more pronounced since you were 2nd shooterin' and pushing the envelope some. Well, I know I do!! I don't always get your work, but it is nearly always interesting regardless. #9 didn't get me too excited and hearing your explanation makes it a little better, but if you had included the "photographer" in the image it would have told the story on it's own. I personally would like to see about another 1/2 stop on the shot of Pat. Conversions are are nice. I like the overall grit in the last few. 6 and 7 are stunning... you are really working the foreground blur well on many of these. Good job Ted!

    I enjoyed these!

    A question and a comment.

    How big a problem for your shots (and the main's) was all the ceiling-bounced flash?

    While "untidy" frames and compositions attract attention, personally I feel that it is still important to be choosy about what's in that stuff. Take #5 for example. I find a lot to like - the placing of the subject, the description of the location, the candid "spying" feel, the quality of the b&w - still, for me, a lot of all that is undone by the random blur right in our face, which has the biggest impact. This shot reminds me of a movie style, where we see some intimate revelation about a character as a fly on the wall, and we see through an architectural perspective from a panning camera. However, I can think of no such scene which puts a big random meaningless blur right there in front. It would be likely a bit of architecture, or a prop, which is still recognisable and relevant to the scene. So not just anything will do in there, I think, if you want the image to come across at its best. Just "playing around" doesn't necessarily mean worthless.

    Saw the new additional posts as I was typing this, and I must say that you have a way of capturing "crowd" scenes which makes them feel dramatic.clap.gif
