before I say much about the photos themselves, PLEASE remove the logo. It really distracts. I think some of the pictures, especially the ones that show the elevation and flat against the wall nature of this sport are wonderful. Were you climbing too? Number five has it all.

Cool shots. I can remember the ones you posted early last year. :)

Just lucky they do have some safety harnesses on, and not 100% free climbing. I much prefer the safety conscious people. :)

(logo is just a personal thing.. for protection of images, and advertising. :lol:, even I've added my name on a couple of recent ones).

1st to explane logo. Croatia is far away land in wild wild west If you think about intelectual ownership. In last 3 months I find around 10 or more of my pictures in some magazines, newspapers, internet magazines and all other ****ing ****. And of course noone of them ask me about rights to publish images. They even crop images to remove logo just to publish them as their own. That's why I put logo. I know hot iritating he is and I know how much I hate him, but I put it only because of that...

Other.. FREE CLIMBING is not climbing whitout ropes, harnes, belt, and all other safety equipment. Free climbing is climbing by power of your hands, legs, muscles, and with your head of course using all safety equipment to prevent you from falling.

Climbing you mention and think of is "Solo integrale" climbing. There climber has only magnesium and climbing shoes. Nothing else. But I think it's very crazy.

Nice shots! With respect to the logo....if they are cropping it and using your shots anyway then you might as well drop it. You need to contact the publishers and threaten them with lawsuits and/or offer to work with them directly depending on the situation. If you are serious about protecting them then there are other ways as well.

I like #2 best.

Send the magazines an invoice for the use of your images:evil:

Yea I try to contact publisher, call them on phone, send email and no answer and can't find person in charge there.. and with low you can't do nothing. It will take very very long (more then 5 years) and I don't wanna lose my time so much time that's problem

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a real pain. :(
Yeah, Solo Integrale climbing as you call it, is definately crazy, and wouldn't see why anyone wants to prove themselves.

You could do a bit more out of this since you had chance to be in wall. First one would be pretty good with tighter crop, second one is nice, 5th one is best of all, and 4th one would be really great if croped differently. Rest of them are not really something, at least for me.
Back to crop of 4th one... Try to crop out a bit of wall on right. You don't need that much of wall, since everyone get idea that climber is in wall, so there's no use for that much of empty space. Then crop just above climber and you will get pretty nice photo already. But it would be even better, if you would wait a bit more, for climber to manage a bit further up, so with same position as you have now (with wall on right side of photo croped out), climber would be all the way on top of frame. That would be really great photo, with sea on back, road on bottom and climber all the way on top.
Btw... don't take this is rule, but only as my personal view to climbing photos, which unfortunately I don't have chance to do really often. Or at least not as often as I would like to.

#4 would be very good with a more aerial posture. The guy is too much at pain. He is too close to the wall. kind of loosing his freedom of movement. Not a posture climbers would love.

6-10 have the perfect timing for tutoring. Framing is also very good. Its Great you never cut the legs while having the guy always low in the frame. Good job!

3 is static. no special interest to me.

Best to me is #2. Dynamism. strength. And you are at the perfect position just a little bit below the climber to put dynamism to the shot. If you could have got the whole body...

The 2nd pic is great. As someone who isn't very comfortable with heights I can never understand what drives people to take up hobbies like these!

[OL9245]

Great shots anyway. Thank you for sharing.

Great shots.
