feeling blue was a great idea

really like #1. nice rich colour in the wood and love the dof.
although that white thing to the right is a little distracting.

great Ideas and angles - they work well
=)

Great job dad!

Thanks for the comments, folks.

although that white thing to the right is a little distracting.

Confession: I had to clone out some bright blue water bottles that were against the white wall. Very distracting!

I went out and bought a nifty fifty, which I used to take a whole bunch of pics this weekend, apart from the skateboarder.

I love the short depth of field this lens gives you, and the fact that it forces you to zoom with your feet...

This was the alternate for "feeling blue", but the DOF in my first choice only just won me over. My model reckons I should have put this one in!

The last two are my favorite! The DOF is great in the last. I would have to agree with your model that I like the composure of the second shot a lot better than the first - looks more natural. Have a good one..

I love that first shot, i learned to row in similar boats, and once getting into the more serious crews, 1st VIII etc, you never saw boats like that anymore, everything was carbon fibre and stark white! Brought back memories of early rowing escapades, particularly tipping a Quad on the river murray!

The feeling blue shots are great too, i would have struggled between the two you posted, but the one you selected is certainly a very good shot!
