I apologize if you do it for your artistic expression."
vjekoslav antic replied to Brad Whistler's discussion '48 Hour Edit - 6/18-6/20 - Retired From Fire' in the group 48 Hour Edit"I like your red colorizing because my first idea have been to put new metal texture and paint it with red to looks like new but is too much work. I respect your decision to put new sky but you need to be more precise with brush specially on roof.In…"

Sandeep S Rajan replied to Brad Whistler's discussion '48 Hour Edit - 6/18-6/20 - Retired From Fire' in the group 48 Hour Edit"aha...absolutely critical point there Vjekoslav..I agree its a very intersting approach and it could pull off very well..perhaps here the sun can be placed on the top right corner as the shadow of the truck looms to the bottom left corner nicely.…"
Ian McGuirk replied to Brad Whistler's discussion '48 Hour Edit - 6/18-6/20 - Retired From Fire' in the group 48 Hour Edit"Don't worry Vjekoslav. We all have to ask our wives!! haha.
Why don't you save each edit and put them as Non Entrys?? Then you can get a general feel of what others feel about your photos. And of course you get to show off your skills!!!"
Sandeep S Rajan replied to Brad Whistler's discussion '48 Hour Edit - 6/18-6/20 - Retired From Fire' in the group 48 Hour Edit"Ohh I qquite agree there Vjekoslav. I think that shape actually works nicely for the mood set and the subject of the photo. and I am sure many people here - atleast I do - do turn and ask me wife and tell her to decide ..he hehe...sometimes it…"

- About Me:
- I work as a manager for a large company that has travel centers all over the nation. My past in this industry includes 17 years in the world of transportation (trucking), food service management, and outside sales and sales management.
My past includes 12 years as a professional photographer including shooting for a professional soccer team, teaching a series of classes at the local college, and of course the range of people including weddings, familys, children and models and being published in numerous magazines and books. I shoot mostly for fun now and like to experiment with digital manipulation. I like to think that I create photos, rather than simply capture an image. Im not here to judge or be judged but will openly accept cunstructive criticism. Having been a photo instructor I realized many years ago that we all have a different view on reality and on what "art" is to us. I truly believe to each his or her own beliefs and pleasure, it is up to no one to force an opinion on another.
- My Equipment
- I have left the world of a professional photograher and along with that have parted with my medium format Pentax, my twin reflex, my studio strobes and backgrounds, my professional labs and my need to accept the job just because you walked in my door looking for a photographer. I now shoot with an Olympus E30. I shoot for myself and my own enjoyment. Some of what I do with my skills is to shoot for my kids school activities such as swimming, water polo and soccer. You may see some of those images creep into my portfolio once in a while. Recently I have started taking the requests for shoots more serious and seem to slowly be getting back into the world of photography as a profession. I guess its like an addiction, once we start its hard to give it up.
Please bear in mind as you browse my work that all images are protected by international copyright law and I thank you in advance for your respect for my, and everyone elses artwork.
