Dale, I love your new self portrait. That must have taken a lot of practice to get the timing right between remote shutter release and the hand stand. No wonder your arms are so developed. LOL Kathe

Vicki, couldn't agree more about the "oh to be young again" statement. Oh, well, at least I'm still young at heart. Thanks for the nice comment. I've been cruising your gallery and was especially drawn to the untitled shot of the dragonfly. Lovely image.

Thanks Jeannine. Debbra the guy in the background is part of the group of buskers that were performing acrobatic moves that day. I have some other shots of him as well.

Thank you Robert. I should have realized that "Illusion of Speed" was from the same talent that took "Duck Dive" Didn't recognize the name when I commented on it.

Aimee C. Eisaman |
Really cool capture Dale! Love the background...really makes the shot with that guy and the camera, and especially that guy to the left and his expression....fantastic! I think you made a wise choice setting the straightness with that tree instead of that street light...sometimes that is a difficult dicission, but going with something closest to the center of the shot is the way to go! :~) That being said I must say that the foreground shoe having a blur on the sole seems odd because it doesn't look like a motion blur, but rather a gaussian blur from editing!

Dale Hardin |
Thanks Tony. You're right, we sure do and you can find most of them at Venice Beach all summer. Aimee, you sharp eyed vixen you. You always keep me on the straight and narrow and catch me when I get lazy. Yep, it's a Gaussian blur all right. Shame on me for letting that get by me.

Very nice action shots, Dale. I wouldn't even dream to advise you to straighten him up a bit; He's defying gravity and you were right there to freeze him in action. Great job and I SO agree with Jodi - very cool and very California!

Anthony L. Mancuso |
Hey Dale... I like the second one better!...i'm not sure why, he just seems more dynamic, and his body position seems better compostionally...i KNOW you checked this but the image does feel to me like it is slanting from left down to right slightly..could be the slant of the pole or height of the people in the crowd..but either way I like this one better. :-)
|
||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||
|
Dale Hardin |
You're quite right on the slant Tony. I used the tree as the vertical reference because it was the most predominant but in actuality I should have either cloned out the pole or leveled the shot and cloned out the tree (or both) You can verify the pole should have been the correct refereence by comparing the tiny bit of sidewalk showing just to the right of his arm band. By the way I think it's very funny and fitting that I'm getting dinged for not being "on the level" since I've been harping about it so long. LOL. It's a gas but proves that everyone now is aware and that is very cool.
