I saw this evil person in the Church of The Holy Sepulchre in Old Jerusalem. It was obvious he didn't want his photograph taken. Bad person that I am, I wanted different and thought he was the "moneychanger" that Jesus came upon. It was b&w film at the turn of the century, probably asa 400. When I raised the camera,he got up so his face is blurry but his character does come through. I tried these two. The spookiness of that church and the meanness made an appearance but it never worked to my intent.
I think the blurriness kind of works in that shot. I'd probably prefer something between the two in terms of shadow detail. Having worked on photos like this of my own, though, I know how frustrating it can be.
Here's one I posted in a different thread several weeks ago. I wanted the focus on the white flower, but I'm still pleased with the overall look.
Not sure I've had a "perfect" shot yet (or one that wasn't slightly out of focus or too high/ low of ISO) but here's two recently that came out less than perfect. Turns out I had my ISO a bit too high for just about every shot, I still managed to make the landscape shot come out alright though (IMO).
Lthis one I was to far to make it look good.. He looked like he had a tree wig on with flowers.. I like this one. Sunset with swallows.. But unless you were there it's doesn't really tell you how peaceful it was..
These two I love. The one of the skateboarder i really like even though he is really dark but knowing how much work he put into pulling the trick I am still really psyched on it. (I wasn't there when he started and ran over real quick to shoot it.) I also love the photo of the baby because he is my nephew and I love him so obvious emotional connection even though the cropping was a bit weird.
