POTW 31-03-2015

Postby Matt. K on Tue Mar 31, 2015 12:42 pm

This weeks pick was a difficult exercise....I was attracted to this image by aim54x for its thoughtful composition and beautiful technical quality...

and this amazing image by Aussie Dave....

Eventually I decided that Aussie Daves picture would get the Guernsey because of the wonderful capture of the rhythm and striations of the water which can only be revealed with a very high shutter speed.
Well done to both photographers anyway. :D :D :D

WOW, thanks Matt!
I am more than happy to share the Guernsey with Cameron.

A good contrast in these two images:
- slow shutter speed vs fast shutter speed
- tranquil vs action
- night vs day
- symmetrical vs asymmetrical
- tripod vs handheld
- artificial lighting vs natural lighting
- single focus vs continuous focus
- wide angle vs telephoto

...yet both associate water as a main element in the photo.

Well done Cameron! :)

Very generous of your Aussie Dave, it was hard to pick from your shots, but your points are very valid about the contrasts between our two images.

Congrats Dave, good work Matt

Wonderful observation here, Dave.

Both are truly great images, and a testament to the skills of each of the photographers
