Photograph and Camera talk

[goosehd]

@pechelman For “dinking around” makes me question ever picking up a camera. Outstanding and can’t wait to see what you do with it!!

[pechelman]

Thanks guys. I've been shooting for a long while but feel like I've lost a bit of my vision and inspiration and have mostly only done photography on trips for the past ~8 years. Getting back into casual, more everyday shooting feels good.

@pechelman Really enjoyed them especially the last one. Currently going through a photography lull as well. Going to Florida on Wednesday to visit my son,and plan on bringing a camera. Maybe something will peak my interest.

[pechelman]

Thanks, @Jett129 .

That last one in particular was a good kick in the ass for me as to why I should carry a camera more often. We passed this sign on the way back home not more than ~45mins later and the little note was wiped away.

Enjoy your trip and hope you come back with some good shots!

@pechelman When I was just getting photography,I had a really wonderful photography mentor,and the only condition he gave me in order for him to work with me was that I can never say...I wish I'd had my camera. I,for one, am glad you took that shot,as the other age old adage is...We miss 100% of the shots we don't take.

[pechelman]

a couple more to share. I guess it shows that I'm pertty tired of winter. And I wish I could take credit for the timing on the shot with the pigeon landing, but it was coming in totally obscured by the camera & lens when I released the shutter, but I'll take it.

@pechelman Both really captivating. So much to like about both pictures,from lighting to composition.

@weftyarn Just great,and at this point I would expect no less from you. If you ever come to NYC…

[weftyarn]

Thanks so much @Jett129 and yes, that NYC trip definitely needs to happen…

@weftyarn some absolutely great shots. I love what you do with portraits

Edit. I particularly like the skateboard shot

[Bridger]

I like the 90mm shot @weftyarn

[weftyarn]

@SKT @Bridger Street Portrait shooting is my favorite.. in a city like Chicago it’s just so much fun!

And sometimes things reverse

bit of a photo dump from a long weekend in Charleston.

@pechelman loved #4 (the bridge) immediately but on looking again at #1-3, I think there must be an interesting story behind each one. Each could be the final shot of a film.

[Bridger]

Great shots @pechelman

I like the first and last ones best

One of my favorite spots on earth. Terlingua, TX. Just outside of Big Bend National Park. This is a yurt the wife and I enjoy staying at when we need to unplug. This area has one of, if not the, darkest sky in the US. I happened to catch this shooting star one night.

[weftyarn]

These are amazing @Go-For-Chill
We had similar skies back in 2018 in Lassen Volcanic NP but I was nowhere near having the skills let alone the equipment as you to catch it properly haha

@pechelman The bridge shot is amazing! Definitely stands out.

@pechelman

Love these aesthetic. The rocking chairs really did it for me.

[pechelman]

Thanks for the kind words y'all and glad they were enjoyed. We had a bunch of fun there and would definitely go back.
