PHOTO FOR JANURY 2012

How I did it -

This picture was taken across the canal from a parking lot in Alkmaar, Holland. I used my Nikon D60 at f14 which gave me a shutter speed of 1/50 at an ISO of 200. I brought it into photoshop and increase the saturation slightly and resized for this entry.

COMMENTS:

Tim Morton	A very interesting look on the water and find the building to be wonderfully and shape.
Vicki Thomas
Fat Chen	A very colorful reflection on the water surface. I prefer to crop the lower part of the picture to see the building and water only.
Barbara Dunn	The reflections turn the hard edges of the parking garage into a colorful, watery abstract. It is an unexpected view made by the movement of the water and the uniform colors above. Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Peggy Seale
Steven Wharram	I like the concept here and think I see what you were after. However, for me it does not quite work. I’m not sure whether it is the technical side as it looks over-exposed in parts and very noisy. I think that you could have cropped a little of the top to concentrate people’s attention on the water itself. There is definitely potential here in both the building and the water, so I would go back.

Member Bio

Like the rest of you, I love photography. I’ve been taking pictures on and off since my teen years (wow ... many years ago), bought a Minolta SLR film camera in my 20’s and last year I bought a Nikon D60. I have 2 Tamron lenses which I’m really happy with. Digital makes it so much easier and less expensive to experiment with, I love it! My style is whatever happens to catch my eye then I approach it from many angels to see what works best for me. I belong to a local camera group in Monmouth County, NJ were we meet twice a month, go on field trips and workshops all of which have helped me learn more and express my passion for photography. I’m learning to use Photoshop CS5 and enjoy working with difference filters. I’m excited to be a part of this group !
