Shorebreak

What did Clark do before photography? A: He was working at a botanical garden. He loved surfing at the shore break, and got interested in photography. What do you like about his work? A: His patience and hard work towards his shots is extraordinary. His pictures seem to capture the moment perfectly, and his subjects are always in interesting positions. What do you not like about his work? A: I feel like it's extremely risky because of the weight of the water and the kinds of positions he gets in are dangerous. Handling relatively high-power electronic equipment like flashes under water can b extremely risky. What brand of camera does he use and how does he take it into the water? A: He uses Nikon cameras. He takes them in the water by putting them in a special waterproof case. Is this a career that you would consider, why/why not?

1. What do you like about your image? - I like how cleanly I managed to select the shoe from the background. I also like the use of black and white, although the product doesn't actually look like that. 2. What would you have done differently to change the outcome of the image? - I would have loved to use a tripod.

I would have also liked to experiment with more extreme light angles for even more of a contrasty, low-key image. 3. What photoshop techniques did you use? - I used Select and Mask to feather my selection, camera raw filter to get the contrast right (and also to convert from the RAW file), the B/W adjustment layer, and Bevel & Emboss for the Nike logo. Here's the same picture without the B/W adjustment layer, just in case I get called out for false advertising :) ...

Landscape Photography - Ansel Adams

Mount Williamson from Manzanar - Ansel Adams What I like about this image: Technically, this shot is excellent. It utilizes the rule of thirds by  having the mountains and the sky cover the top third of the frame. It shows an incredible range of values. Everything in the shot, from the rocks in the foreground to the clouds in the back, is pin sharp. I love the way the rocks lead my eyes towards the mountains in the background. The visible light rays in the background make the mountains seem even more majestic.
