Masterclass

[Chris Dodkin]

Darren B at work - St. Michael's by-the-Sea - Carlsbad CA

Fuji X-Pro1 and 14mm Lens

More books! Lovely shot. The strong lines, the beautiful curves of the organ pipes, and Darren's slight leftward lean - all perfect. And you know who, in the middle, watching it all - do I mean Christ or Chris?

And captured with a Dodkin crop!

I really like this Chris. Especially the way the slope of the roof breaks the symmetry and the way he leans with that break. Nice.

Ha! A 'Dodkin Crop'! Now that's funny!
Also a fab shot Chris. I like this conception of capturing a photog at work.
Taking photos of people taking photos! Great.

 

[Pete Askew]

And, unbeknown to Chris, Brian was right behind him! And, then there was Beth...

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Wow, okay.....
Beth was taking a photo of Brian taking a photo of Chris taking a photo of Darren?
Really is a masterclass!

 

[Darren Bradley]

Uh, yeah... I was intentionally leaning left like that for Chris's photo

It is a nice shot. Like it better than mine. Here's the photo I was taking at the time:


The colors were a bit odd, due to the color-tinted glass (green behind us, and pink above), which probably explains why Chris opted for B&W!

You may notice that I cloned out the speakers from the beam above me ;-)

 

[Pete Askew]

Nice tough Darren. I like the colour contrast and the organ pipes stand out so much more in you version and, of course, we get to see the detail of the stained glass. Nice to see both interpretations.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

The speakers did rather stand out as bolt-ons didn't they!

Beautiful light, Chris.

Thanks Nihat
