my favorite creations

[Fidel Marcus]

my second day here
I received many warm welcomes from a few fellow photographers here which inspired me to share some of my favorite shots that I've created over the years, all opinions & critiques are welcome positive or negative feel free to be honest....

1st 4 are 3-frame HDR
last 2 are long exposure @ 2.8

Thanks.

Oooh, we have a light painter! Lol
Very nice pictures there. The first one is a cracker!

 

[Paul Lange]

I like 3&4, quite spooky!

 

[Kev Pugh]

I can see a 19 x 9 crop on #4 like them all though

I love #1 (but then I'm not averse to a bit of HDR..)
Where is it, as a matter of interest?

 

[Fidel Marcus]

Dan, I love colors and particuarly at sunset where they tend to scream in vivid shades, and as the rule goes in this profession color is always painted with the lighting available.

Adrian the first photo is at the palace of fine arts in San Francisco.

Kev it's funny that you said that because as I was posting these photos I found myself looking at that exact image thinking to myself I should put a pano-crop on it eliminating some of the rocks towards the bottom & shifting the focal point closer to the light and the horizon where the sky meets the mountain, I'll try to do that today...

3 is a cracker! Very nice indeed!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Some lovely shots ... I like 3 too!

"fidelity photography" ... I like that!
When I type Fidel into my iPhone (I'm on it now) it auto corrects to fidelity

Hamish I would never share this somewhere else (I am a bit like you when it comes to outdated or unfinished work

This would be the splash screen (replicated in WordPress) I mentioned in our other discussion, so in regards to the definition I will admit I am on a mission to capitalize on the word Fidelity and the definition

Nice to see someone else shooting architecture and landscapes in my part of the world! I live in La Jolla, Fidel. Welcome!

I've just spotted this post
Sorry to make you post the link else where

Yeah, I think you have a really nice idea with the word fidelity and the definition on the site ... It had a nice ring to it, but also conjures a positive image ... And of course the whole "Fidel" bit

My only comment, and sorry to cross thread would be to loose the flash... But that would be part and parcel of moving to Wordpress anyway!

Hello Darren, I've been looking at your work in a couple of your threads, you do amazing work and if I'm not mistaking you are a quite a specialist in Architecture aren't you?
I've only dabbled with it a little bit and I keep trying to improve and progress through practice, once in a blue moon I get a client who wants me to do architecture work and I've been fortunate that the few I've had so far have been very happy.

My Dear Friend Hamish, I should have posted that in the right thread to begin with haha so I'm going to correct that & carry on with that topic in the website thread I'm glad you like it.

#1 is stunning, and the long exposure that captures the cloud movement in #3 is gorgeous , one little suggestion could be maybe try leveling the horizon a bit in #3?

I knew the last one would get Dan all excited!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Loving the night shots - especially the saturated blue skies

Are #3 and #4 PP'd using Topaz?

 

[Fidel Marcus]

the beach photos are bracketed HDR's

glad you guys like them
