Sunday at Newcastle baths, cropped tight from all sides. I like the way the -tri- theme works here:



This guy did a whole series of aerials for me. He told me that I should shoot him bridge jumping sometime. Crazy backflips from stupid heights. Fun.

1000 f/8 ISO 400 HSC, RAW, D2x, 70-200VR

photography with a model and action are always so powerful

the movement is elegant as well, it's a very appealing image Heath something very consistent with your work

That's the loosest "tight crop" I've ever seen in my life - looks pretty wide to me.

Good pic and when you get it cropped it will be even better. Took for ever to load and I'm on ADSL and the file is tiny. Maybe it's me.

Another one, different angle. I never have seen a boy so young smoking. He looked 9! He was more keen than the other guy...

Forgive me if PP dodgey - doing it from laptop in bed.

Loose on the central focal point, tight on the whole scene. I cropped quite a lot out!

ahhhh Bloody D2X

nice action shots. I really like the pose you froze him in.

excellent the line of sight is great and the 2 in the background lead your eye to the subject, this is skillfull composition

i notice many outstanding aspects of your work, it's always so well exposed contrasty and dam sharp, do you shoot manual or a, s, p mode on that d2x?

You said and I quote mate - "I have the money, just don't want to break the bank." The ball is in your court, Sir!

Mostly, A, secondly M, rarely S.

Appreciate your kindness. Once more I have got to say I loved your Fred Bare girls images. I even asked at DJ's today if they had the winter Fred Bare branded brochure

EDIT: Also - I used channel mixer for BnW conversion.

interesting

i always thought aperture mode on the d2x couldn't get the shutterspeed right as in fast enough for moving subjects so i switched to complete manual

but htis shot was taken in on a bright day so guess it makes sense, as i usually shoot in lowlight

i better re-visit aperture priority mode on the d2x

otherwise you have dam good technical skills balanced out with creative flair

thanks for comments on fred bare

Great shot! It was good of that guy to hold up the diving board with his head.

Heath, Mad shots i meam mad! Awesome composition.

No idea what -tri- theme is, is that some uber photog jargon? Anyway that first shot is awesome, I hardly comment on pics because I have nothing to say, but I just had to post to say that first shot is awesome. Cheers.

Its a technical term explaining that there are 3 people to oneside of the pic and 3 people on the other side of the pic. In this case 3 boys and 3 girls

Great shots Heath. How good is your "model"

Heath - the first shot is great, love many aspects of it. The tri theme, the suspended moment in time and the un-natural position the guy is in. Great!

My only negative is the board is cutting that guys head off a little... but given the type of shot this is, I can forgive you Excellent stuff!

True. You can go further into it by saying the jumping boy's body fits into a triangle, the -three- main focal points are at each point in a triangle...

People have interesting beliefs in the power of 3 and the shape of the triangle. Take one look at a pyrmaid!

HB,
Great shots with action! nice capture.
Wonder what D2x can do for you?
