Love 1 & 2-1 for the awesome contrasted clean image. 2 for the look on his face and the Grand Theft Auto which ties in with the "maybe gonna steal something look" he has

The girl in the middle are getting married. The tradition is that her friends bring her out on a last party night just before the wedding. I know similar traditions exist in many cultures. Here it is called "mö-hippa".

In the United States it's a bachelorette party for the bride and a bachelor party for the groom. Normally consisting of lots of alcohol and strippers. The guys do similar things too.

Awesome lighting on the sand. Nice shot!

Here's a few from me on recent shoots:

And I can't do any street shooting in that way until Pentax release a weather proof flash!

Edit: forgot to say that this is a very well composed (almost a perfect "x") shot with nice warm colors. Will try to remember it tomorrow while bringing the kids to school through the rain.

Thanks bbluesman! I'm quite happy with them also. Of course it is pure luck that he looks over his sholder like that and that the "Grand Theft..." came in view...the sort of pure luck you get when you shoot many enough shots and know how to not miss focus and exposure on that rare lucky shot!

Javire: love the hooded lady, again the color one works best, but perhaps if you could light the BW one up over her eyes. I just feel the color version has better eye contact. The angy walking fellow is also a dynamic shot.

Bbluesman: your second shot with the fellow in white t-shirt behind some plants: classic composition, crips and soo sharp. Is that digital or film?

Heh-sure know about that luck thing. Funny how people that get out and work their passion seem to get a little more "luck."

Film?? What is this film thing you mention... Only digital from me Douglas but I'm tickled that you asked that. Shows me my processing is making progress. Thanks my friend.

Good that you take it as a compliment!

Let's see when you can post something on Javier's film thread and fool everyone...

...but you don't mean that you have never shot film?

Douglas_of_Sweden · 11-05-2009, 06:15 PM

Well the occasional snaphsot way back but never SLR and never seriously. My photo bug developed over the last couple of years.
