Photographers on Dirty

[Chris M]

finally got around to re-doing the old photo portfolio... you can almost grasp a good chunk of my adventures in the last year or so

what a busy (and lucky) boy - excellent stuff!

[Chris M]

annoyingly, i've realized the site layout was not actually the best for presentation, back to the drawing board as they say

//\/\/ i really enjoy the mood in this shot, was this all natural lighting? -

thanks - pleased you like it! from what i remember, it's indoor lighting - but i tweaked some levels using the flickr editing tools to make it b&w and adjust the contrast...

[Chris M]

those flickr tools are pretty robust for being fairly minimal. i think picassa has something similar to that extent.

here is another updated series from my recent trip to china:

Those are nice pictures, Chris. I'll be going to China in 3 months, but I don't think my pics will be as nice as yours.

oh that's fantastic news! you'll definitely be in a better weather season than my trip... it was absurdly freezing to the point of being quite unpleasant.

whereabouts will you be visiting?

taking "good" pictures is all relative, really. though, it certainly helps to have simple fundamentals like composition and lighting in mind when snapping a shot. just about everyone is a photographer these days, so it all comes down to what kind of story you are trying to tell. i think //\/\/ has demonstrated that well with his source images and post touch ups with simple flickr tools. so again, just ask yourself the right questions while shooting (and in post) and things may begin to shape accordingly.


latest shots:

calvin harris + burns... god i feel old. these are the latest dj's sweeping the dance floors, or so i'm told.
