I went to Rock Island mid week last week.  I made a gallery of images I 

shot on my Zenfoilio site:

All were shot with film, Leicas for the wide angle shots and Nikons for 

the long lens shots.

 

Hi Harrison,

Beautiful work. Nothing like looking at the photography of a professional
who knows how to "work a scene or location!" It isn't just some quick happy
snap of a water fall and move on as we usually see. It's the many elements
of well composed photographs with all kinds of "actions and angles of the
moment" when people are involved and without. The LIGHT! Verticals and
horizontals of the same scene, but each with it's own impact of composition
including extra elements of subjects.

 

Those who are amateurs among us could very well study this complete series
and learn much about composition by comparing each photo with the next where
they are shot of the same subject. What makes one photograph more
interesting or better than the previous or next? What are the small things
that gives one photo the edge over another?

 

It' the peak moment, the timing of body action that adds to the photograph
being better due to clicking at just the right moment. 

Good on you lad. A great start for my day with a fine feel good fix from
your photography. :-)

Thank you.

Cheers,

ted
