Love the reflections, like this...

Just want to echo Nick's comments - really nice set of work. Love the use of the street in your shots, the texture of the buildings, the road, just feels to cohesive. Great tone to the whole set - even some nice panning! (with a 5D !? )

A few snaps from a recent business trip to Alaska. linked from FB, so apologies in advance for poor quality.

My transport to Deadhorse. There really is nothing as far as the eye can see behind the plane - flat and featureless for miles!


Friendly local biker with a passing resemblance to Tom Jones


Sunrise from my hotel window in Anchorage.


The highest point in the US (Mount McKinley), taken through a very grubby aircraft window.


View from the office window in Anchorage with some weird colours due to bronze effect windows.


Low flying plane coming into land over a main road. Photo quickly taken from a moving car. Prize for anyone that spots a small car on the roads

Great set John - looks like an unusual, diverse and amazing place

Spent a while editing this one yesterday, getting the colours right, and the white balance sorted too, the lighting at the time of taking the photo was awful, the positioning of the car, cramped car park was terrible too, but I tried my best.


Also, some incredible work over the past couple of pages lately!!

No doubt will change my mind again shortly

Sorry, but I've seen much better from you i'm sure. The selection around the car is quite rough. Around the mirror, spoiler and under the car are still sharp while you've blurred the area around it. And the fact that the car is in focus while objects of equal distance away from the camera are blurred makes it look like you've just pasted the car into a low quality picture.
It also looks like you've used too much "fill light" if you've processed this from a raw file. Thus giving the car a mild HDR effect.

[Adz The Rat]

All taken on board, I just can't quite get this shot looking right.

Blukoo, is this any better?

Sorted out the blur a bit, looks better to me but always happy to hear others opinions

Personally still find the post blur to be distracting - it's in contrast to the very sharp foreground.

[Blukoo]

I agree. I'd forget about the false depth of field. It can be tricky to get 100% and it looks odd if you don't manage.
If you want to make the car stand out more then I'd suggest desaturating the background slightly.
