Any thoughts on the Black and White? I think I like it more but I would like some other people's opinions on it.[/QUOTE]

I've been there and the colours are so spectacular, I wouldn't do B/W for that.

Also I've been shooting a gig of 3 of my friends, their first one.

I really like the subject matter! The one thing I do find very bothersome is your negative space. All the empty space on the right seems very unnecessary and distracts my eye from the subject. A simple crop would make this a lot more visually compelling.

[Killuah]

I tried that and it loses a lot of the "running wild" feeling when I crop it, also since they are all moving to the right the picture looks really out of balance. They are running in a huge spacious field looking at a balloon, I want to show that.

[QUOTE=MoarFunz;36617751]What's the story behind the tree?[/QUOTE]

Firefighters were clearing the area to try and slow the fire down. It didn't work this time.

Also I went with my cousin who was taking videos of the entire endeavor. We will go back with his 1080p camcorder at some point to get more stuff. But in the meantime, I have something special for you.

[IMG]http://i1055.photobucket.com/albums/s503/TheBannedUser/geocachedweb.jpg[/IMG]

"Congratulations! You found my badger cache! Hope you enjoyed the hike!"

We stumbled across a geocache, my cousin kicked it while going through some thick ash and unearthed it. We have also found the web site for it and are going to track down the guy who made it to see what he put in there.

Maybe not the best photos I've taken, but I still like'em.
Took them at the Peace & Love festival in Sweden last week. this year was the first one where you were allowed to bring a DSLR into the festival area (with a lens limited to a maximum of 55mm) so the first and second of seven days, i chose some concerts where i stood for like 2 hours before they started playing where i thought i could get some good shots. It was really fun, but didn't get as good photos as i thought i would.. Totally gonna go next year with a faster lens (the 18-55 3.5-5.6 really isn't the best out there)..

None of these are edited since I'm still sick and tired from the festival. Might upload some edited shots later..

CC always appreciated.

I'm about to go to bed, but will chat to you on facebook or something sometime soon about the image itself, but just wanted to say that to all those of you who want feedback on their photos, this is the way to go if you want a response.
First of all, ask for it!
I've said it before, but also start by a base critique of your own work. With that, I guarantee people will be more likely to respond.

I like it bopie. Those tones are beautiful.
