Superb and interesting first post. All well composed my favourite would have to be the low level shot of the boot and troops - well done.

It also shows the excellence of the D50

Posted: **Sun Aug 07, 2005 11:34 pm**

Thanks for your appreciations.
If you like..some more.

All those pictures are made in Saint Petersbourg (Russia)

Posted: **Sun Aug 07, 2005 11:43 pm**

Some awesome shots there, please teach me!

Posted: **Sun Aug 07, 2005 11:44 pm**

These are simply outstanding captures! No. 108and 109 are corkers! Such artistry and eye for detail is so good to see! Exclamation point!

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2005 12:08 am**

All of them are interesting. Some unique perspectives offered here. I have never considered the use of mirrors, but they work very well in your photos.

Thanks for sharing - I enjoyed them all.

Super stuff jaco, very arty slant on the usual touristy shots! Thanks for posting!

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:42 am**

Super images. Thoroughly enjoyed them

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:53 am**

Jaco, fantastic images,the choice of subject,framing, etc,etc, what equipment did you use?, Russia is very high on my list of places to visit,it has a special appeal to me and your pics have boosted that even more,
you have real talent, very well done indeed.

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2005 10:44 am**

Some amazing images and certainly a place I want to visit one day. Like Chris, the low shot with the boot on the right was the one that jumped out at me.

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2005 10:57 am**

Fantastic what can i say that hasn't been said.

Very nice Jaco.

Like your use of the mirror, were you carrying it just for the shots or to look over your shoulder? Or some other reason?

Thanks Glen!
I'm carrying always two mirrors in case of...
And just to shoot, I'm not (yet) a spy... :wink:

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2005 10:42 pm**

The mirror works very well Jaco, like that shot in your last post

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2005 10:47 pm**

--> jaco

Number 30 is good. Really interesting architecture, unusual. A bit shame that roof tops are cut. I don't think this contributes to composition. Number 45 also is good, however I dont like version with focus switched on behind building. Its is too difficult to watch it.

That is an interesting series, but in my humble opinion I could try to chop number of photos down. Great shots disappear in crowd of not bad ones.

Pozdrawiam,

K.Polak

Refreshing to see something so different. I really like No.40.
Also, is it just me? The guy in the first bus photo reminds me of Mattk

Posted: **Mon Aug 08, 2005 11:32 pm**

More different again...I hope

#30 is IMO in the style of the 30’s and would look superb in B&W

Posted: **Tue Aug 09, 2005 2:09 am**

Really like the first set of photos. They show a very different perspective to the typical tourist shots. A thought I always try and remember when holding a camera....Look for different....walk around it, reframe it....You're creativity is inspiring. Some of your followup photos drop the standard set in the earlier photos IMO.

2nd and 4th are my favs. . . really love the surrealistic look in both!

I've tried and tried and I can never manage to capture things like you've done in the 4th one.

Jaco - what a truly emotive shot - this brings home to me not the horror of 9/11 but the sorrow for the living. . .

Posted: **Sun Sep 18, 2005 10:45 am**

Wow Jaco, very cool!
You get around a lot! I would love to see some of your pictures from Poland. I'll have a look at your site and see if I can find some.
Plus, you've quite inspired me that good things are possible without the fancy vr lenses! :wink:
