Photography Critique

So I've been working like a dog the past 5-10 days getting ready for a Monday morning presentation of Sharepoint to much of the company. Only have 15-20 minutes to talk about something that I could talk for 4 hours on and still not have it all covered. After Friday's walk thru, I still had to cut 10-15 minutes off the presentation, so a bit of practicing left to be done.
With the time I've spending on that, not much exercise achieved in that time. So Friday night went to the monthly tennis social - bunch of people get together, play tennis, meet some new people. Got some good matches in and burned some much needed calories. Saturday night is a date night for Cindy and I - meeting up with some folks I work with for dinner and whatever else.
Saturday morning is the 1st of 4 straight Saturday mornings that I have a class...more to be said on the class specifics another time. Because of this class, I will miss weeks 2-5 of Sarah's first time into the world of soccer, which sucks but needs to be done.

The big thing this weekend is a 2-day photography workshop being put on by Rocky Mountain School of Photography. I'll miss the Saturday morning sessions due to the previously mentioned class, but will make the rest of the weekend. Sessions I'm planning on hitting:

  • Saturday Session III - Understanding Light

  • Sunday Session I - Composition
  • **"Photographing People" is intriguing too!
  • Sunday Session II - Sports And Motion
  • **contemplating "Sunrises, Sunsets & Flowing Water"
  • Sunday Session III - Critique Session


I plan on submitting a couple of photos for the critique session. Here they are:

This was taken February of 2004 up at the top of Guinella Pass in Colorado. Found a flock of ptarmigans sitting in the snow and took a gob of photos of them. This was one of the most appealing.

Taken September, 2007, this is a southward looking view of Grand Teton from our North Cascade Valley campsite.

So hopefully I'll be on top of things and be able to post back with results from the critiquing, plus the Monday morning presentation! Meanwhile, feel free to offer up your own comments of the photos you see.

Nice Moe!!! Way to go stepping out with your camera again, taking classes!!! Woohoo!!

I'll predict a comment on your Tetons photo... they'll say you should have something in the foreground... but I like your exposure. Makes me want to dig out my photos and play.
