I saw a TV documentary a while ago following some American tourists on a trip to the UK. They were particularly keen on the brochure, showing Stonehenge in front of a beautiful sunset and the ocean..
Let's just say they weren't too amused when they visited Stonehenge and found out it's actually nowhere near the ocean. |
You need to acquire a Texan sense of scale - then realise that everywhere in the UK is near the 'ocean' |
Or an American sense of history - everything can be bought and put in the desert. |

No, but you can make one. |

What's what the American tourists were upset about - not getting what they saw in the brochure. |

I am very surprised in my Portraits entry. I shot it for two reasons, one for the person in the photo going into a magazine and for the challenge as well - kinda two birds with one stone. In the comments i am getting, there warm and great, but the votting is only a 6.26 with a ton of people obviously voting in the 4's and 5's. I have never worked so hard in a studio step up, lighting was the most complicated i've ever done, and personally i have never totally loved my work more. To customer has already printed a 30x40 in canvas and is getting it framed for their studio; and everyone that has seen it including my bud's at the local camera house were all basically just "-----sweet shot". I really thought i had a winner for DPC too, and again I was way off base. I think you have to shoot specifically for DPC which will probably go against the task at hand professionally. Though i will admit that the shot looks better printed than on the screen, its not a night and day difference - I really don't understand the DPC field sometimes?

As Great Britain is an island, technically, every photo has the sea in the background :P

| Why don't we just buy Great Britain and put it in Texas? That way Tony and George can get together really easily. |

Good idea Harvey, then maybe the prices of my cigars would come down :)

You can have Tony for free, I'll even pay for shipping. |

I left space on my shot for the last mag. challenge and I think it lowered the score. I am not sure if I will choose that route this go around.

I don't think that text should be added, but, space SHOULD be left for the text that goes on the cover. That is a major consideration when shooting magazine covers. |

Lemme think about that for a minute......
OK, it's a deal, but only if you guys take George in trade. And since you're paying the shipping we'll throw in Dick C. |
