Listener Photo of the Week - February 5, 2011
Image by Peter Amador |
Having shot in my fair shares of boxing gyms, they are notoriously terrible with respect to lighting. Even if you have a camera capable of high ISO, the light is just piss poor. So, using strobe becomes essential. I love the way that Peter Amador creatively used the strobe off-camera and took advantage of the resulting shadow to create a very strong photograph.
Listener Photo for the Week - November 4

We saw a lot of pictures of window frame and a lot of images of pigeons in flight, but this shot combines them both into an interesting and even jarring way. At first I think that white behind the bird is an overexposed sky, but the post reveals that it's part of the wall adjoining the window. The repeating shape of the post and the window is broken up dynamically by the sharper lines and shape of the bird, creating a very dramatic contrast. It certainly made me stop in my tracks and why I chose it this week.

This is an image that breaks a lot of rules. It doesn't have a solid black. It suffers from overexposure and flare and a lack of contrast and color saturation. Yet, it works and that's what I love about it. It has a wonderful feel to it and it's a great moment. There are other images that are more technically "perfect" but are empty. This is anything but.

The colors are great, but what I really like about this image is the repetition of the frame within the frame within the frame. This also a great example of the use of negative space to make the heart of the image even stronger.
