Giraf : Hehe, thank you... I'm coming on US forums in order to practice English, and see other landscapes, and the first who replies to my message is from Quebec... French is everywhere :'(

I'd espacially like critics about 017 and more.

Wow... Ya got some really awesome shots, and an amazing eye for seeing them. Welcome to the forum

Welcome to TPF

Your English is fine

What an outstanding assortment of photos! So many to look at. Lots of very nice lines and textures to choose from. You mentioned #17. Not my favorite, but it does have nice lines and shadows.

My fav of all of them is by far #6. The tones and symmetry are excellent in that shot. Lots of other that stand out too for their own reasons. 1, 4, 5, 13, 21 :thumbup: Can't wait to see more!

Chiller :
Awesome shots, amazing eye? That's not what my french friends are telling me... But thank you

woodsac :
Thank you too, for your critics. You can see more (from my beginning to now, but not all of my production, only selected ones) here : http://willpops.band.free.fr/photos . I make a lot of (girls' only) portraits, but I prefer not publish them too often... We never know what is done with it.

To all :
I'm not really sure how we say it in English, but there are a lot of high-litten zones where textures/details all become pure white on my photos (we say "zones brulees" which means "burned zones"). What do you think?

woodsac · Apr 17, 2006

Are you referring to areas that become all white...like the sky at times. Like while trying to expose for shadows?
If so...we call them 'hot spots' or say 'washed out' or 'blown out'.

I will look at some of your other work when I get a chance

Arch · Apr 17, 2006

really interesting series willpops 4,5 6 and 13 are my favs, you have a good eye thats for sure.... welcome to the forum.... looking forward to more :thumbup:

willpops · Apr 17, 2006

[words in italic are Google Translated]

woodsac :
Yeah, I'm talking about those zones. As I'm working with compacts (a FUJI S5500 for portraits/demonstrations, and a FUJI E510 for urban views/landscapes), I've got a very little dynamic with my sensors, so hot spots tend to appear often.

Archangel :
Thank you too, for your greetings

Concerning my eye, I'd like to say that I'm coming from a french "artistic" forum (www.cfsl.net , photo forum, others are for painting, etc) where there are more "less touristic" pictures (take a look by yourself, you'll see). I only discovered TPF that night (here it is 930 PM), and for the little I've seen, pictures are more "everyday life" style. Do you know some US photo forum that is more oriented like www.cfsl.net ?

Arch · Apr 17, 2006

I only use forums for photography, and only this one....... im in England but i think there probably is a few US 'artistic' forums, but you may have to do a search for them

melcooney · Apr 17, 2006

I really like #2...but they are all great pictures!

Randog · Apr 17, 2006

Very nice work! I'm not getting all the pic's to load, but what I do see is wonderful!

willpops · Apr 17, 2006

Archangel :
Yeah, I sought Google for forums, but the best, to me, seemed to be that one

melcooney :
You're a girl? You're welcome in my thread. Please come often. Are you single?

(After Italian lovers, here are French losers...) Thank you for the greetings.

Randog :
My FTP folder is sometimes very slow (especially when I need it...), so like I said before, try directly http://willpops.band.free.fr/photos , or reload this page 2-3 times, it should work.

To all :
Is on this forum the habit of making a thread by subject? 'Cause the forum I'm coming from is more like "The thread of willpops", "The thread of Archangel", etc

Yep, I'm a woman!

Part French myself...but not enough to matter! I really enjoyed your pictures and am looking forward to seeing more of your work!
