PWP Favorites


Back in April I attended Prize Winning Photography 1 and 2 in Dallas. It was very helpful for me, and even if I didn't get any good pictures out of it I'd still say it was completely worth it. But I actually did take a few things that I like, so now you get to see them too! And of course I want to hear how much you like/dislike them too. Enjoy.

You know, the more I look at these, the more I like that first one of Dave...it's really awesome! :)

I really like that one too. I can't say the look is original, but I still like how different it is from most portraits.

Hey, neat blog...looking forward to more!!! Awesome header/logo, btw... :D

Thanks Amy! I'll keep posting if you'll keep reading... And it wouldn't hurt to tell a few friends! ;D

Daniel, Wow. this is great!
I especially like the one of the piano keys. :)
I've tried taking pictures of our piano with a rose and sheet music, but i never got the right look.
But of course, i just have FXfoto, not Photo shop. :P

Yeah, sometimes it's really hard to pull off a look like that. I didn't really do very much photoshop on that one tho. Most of these photos have quite a bit of it, but I think I mostly just lightened it and added some contrast. The first night of pwp 2 Criss (My roomate)just sat down and started playing, so I took a few pictures. Sometimes it's best when you don't have to set it up.

Nice... it would take me forever to get a great look like that.
But, i don't have a camera i can experiment with whenever i want to..

That's hard. Are you using your sisters?

#6,8,9, and 10 are definitely my favorites. Very nice job. i like ur header too. The reflection is one of my favorites to add in graphics.

keep up the good work!

Yes, i only get to use it once in a LONG while... i took alot of pictures when she was in Bogota... she left it for us (Anika and I) to use (hehehe...)

@ Sarah

Yeah, I really like those too. I made a mock cover of time magazine with #8! I really like that one.
I got the idea for the header from D&G. I like the way it turned out.

@Katrina

Well at least you have some access to a nice camera. I had to use Hannah's a lot when I started, but she let me use whenever I wanted (unless she wanted it). And I could use mom's rebel. But having my own has been really nice.

Keep it up!
