Artist's Comments
And thus begins my first steps into serious portaiture. For the past few months, I've been immersing myself in looking at and editing some one elses wonderful happy-people pictures. While I'm still months away from anything resembling professional, I decided it was time I got behind the camera again.
So Jensey, myself, Lorie and Jonathan (the couple featured here) headed out to Disney World/Epcot for a Friday afternoon. The four of us have talked about this for a few months now, so it was cool to finally head out and do it. They were such wonderful models; very accodomating to my newb-like skills. And if it wasn't for Jensey, I don't know what I would've done. I can hold a camera, I can focus and compose...but when it comes to posing, positioning, or location scouting...I'm not so good. (When wedding photography comes around, I'll have my pocket-Jensey.) Anyways, fin with the initial description. This shot in particular was rather spur of the moment. They were smooching on the bridge and I stepped over a gate, got in position, and voila. Nothing too fancy. In terms of editing, just used some custom PS actions to enrich colors and soften everything. (Hoooray Lord of the Rings filter by Kevin Kubota!) + Enjoy! + Photo 2 + Photo 3 Comments
 Love the zoom. Great effect to the photo! Well done...
 -- "The government is not the solution to our problems, the government is the problem" Come To My Kingdom...  Ahh always beautiful, so eye-catching.. I'd kill (or at least maime) for a portrait like this of me or someone I loved.
 -- [link] Click the link for a cute pony of your very own.  Nice shot,
I liked that photo. --        aka Tzachi Gvaram  Very romantic, nice shot.
-- -Tony-  What's that filter you're speaking about?
Anyway, great shot. You know, I bet almost everyone would focus on the couple, but not you. Haha. There's a 'dot' by his head which made me think it was a film photograph. I don't know why that's there. In the thumbs, I thought it was you and Jensey until I saw the title. Doh. Who would take the photo? Oh. Mr Tripod. Pocket Jensey's are great. The positioning is really cool, and the colours are awesome too, but they're digitally enhanced.  The use of the flower bush pushing them to the side is great, and his purple shirt putting a 'stop' to your eye from going off of the photo. That's really good too.I think it'd be neater if there was just a wall of green behind them, instead of the buildings and what not making it a mirage of colours. Details, details.  Beautiful shot. I love how the couple are blurred in the background, and the focus on the flowers. Interesting perspective.
--    I think this would work a lot better if the red to the bottom left wasnt so brightly red, and if the white to the left wasnt so intrusive.
-- Strange things are happening everyday, and its got to the point where the strange things are beginning to feel normal... |
