Oh, and for those of you down under getting ready for Winter,
well it sucks to be you!

This is a good photo?
What did you use? a kodak camera?
You really must be joking? Did you actually check the focus and
contrast or did you just snap it off and hope we are all blind?
Learn some composition basics and get your monitor fixed. There are
no details in horses.

Take a careful look at this and tell me what you see.

You win POST OF THE WEEK, Scott!
Do you mind if I use that image, or shall I create my own?
It might save a minute or two...but what a great idea... Really.

Feel free to use it, I hereby put it in the public domain.

What, no $500 royalty?

Now if I were Douglas I would be threatening to sue anyone who used
it.

But what about the huge white text across it, claiming it as your own??

Time to check YOUR monitor, bub.
For dark horses in diffused light, the detail is very good.

As for the flower:
He focused on the stamen, and he shot at f4.
Do you know the difference between shallow DOF and an out-of-focus image?


Maybe Dmac has another alias

Regular readers will already know that Bret is proof that the ability to run
of thousands of photos a week does not improve your composition skills one
iota. No matter how much self-promotion. At least he attributes the good
points in his pictures - generally well exposed and sharp - to the equipment.

Beautiful!!

Nice photos, Bret, but how long since you've been to Australia in mid
year?

Come on down, we can show you how good a winter can be.

The reason why I'm such a big fan of Brets is simple. He has proven
to be a great photographer....period. His composition skills along
with his well exposed and sharp images say it all. I see a man who is
a dedicated photographer who enjoys sharing his work for others to
view. He takes critique very well, and actually finds it helpful.
He's got the guts to post his images on a regular basis, which is more
than most on this NG. As for attributing his great images to his
equipment, I stongly disagree. My brother has a friend who owns a
very sophisticated Canon camera, but he couldn't take a decent pic if
his life depended on it. Give credit where credit is due. It's
Bret's skill that makes his images stand out.

But that's my point: they don't. They look like any typical snapshooter's
photo album, enhanced by the 20D's capacity generate very sharp and saturated
photos, and the use of very long lenses to acquire close cropped photos of the
wildlife that is obviously prolific in his part of the world.

They're fine and pleasant, but almost entirely artless.

Please show us your portfolio.

Photography isn't just about art
It's about capturing the moment.
Bret's photo is not arty but it captures the moment perfectly.
