He loves his smokes....

IShootPeople · 5th of March 2007 (Mon)

Hey all, im still new here and looking for some c&c Im excited to hear what you guys think! Not too bad for a kit lens

ABrownPhoto · 6th of March 2007 (Tue)

I actually think it is a nice shot! Exposure is nice, the crop is just right, and his expression is cool! I am a bit curious as to why he is holding his jacket up like that??

In all though i think it is a nice capture. Maybe a tad soft, but i figure it is just due to the downsizing!

i think its a very nice shot and shows the kit lens work,s.
It's 6 weeks 3 days 4 hours since i stopped smoking and i REALLY miss them but i will keep of them ( i hope )

Agreed, I think it's a nice captue, as an ex smoker I figure he's sheilding his cig from the wind. As said before, a touch soft but I think you got away with it. Well done.
Rob: You're at the point where it starts to get easier, hang in there, giving up was the best thing I've ever done.

... not that you're counting Rob!

I gave up about 30 odd years ago, and even now I remember how hard it was, but you're doing well, IT DOES GET EASIER - eventually.

Sorry, forgot to CC the photo!

Nice overall shot, might look better converted to B&W?

[Edit - sorry just re-read my post and it sounds like I am saying it doesn't look good now - far from it, as others have said, it is a little on the soft side, but I think converting to B&W might give it a little more "impact"]

I agree, bold contrasty mono would give it that extra oomph.

Master-9 · 6th of March 2007 (Tue)

B&W would look good

TeeJay · 6th of March 2007 (Tue)

How about a CD cover?

MagicallyDelicious · 6th of March 2007 (Tue)

i really like it.

Got a nice candid feel to it which is real nice.

IShootPeople · 6th of March 2007 (Tue)

Thanks guys i appreciate the cc and i like the b&w. Quitting is terrible. I tried once, but momma never raised a quitter! lol actually i am gunna be quitting again here soon, hopefully soon

Obviously no smoking experience, he's blocking the wind while he lights his smoke.

Nice photo, great capture on the expression. I like the B/W too.

IShootPeople · 6th of March 2007 (Tue)

ya he was blocking the wind thanks for the compliments

R_Metzel · 6th of March 2007 (Tue)

I like it! The expression on his face is great. I am also a smoker and feel his pain. DAMN THE WIND TO HELL! LOL I should really quit though!

shotsoflife. · 6th of March 2007 (Tue)

it was me in the pic.and yes the wind sucked.lol, if u have any pointers as far as posing and such, im used to just skating and getting pics,but if anyone has anything that could help with getting better shots feel free to let me know.and to all you non smokers and quiting smokers..more power to you,but looking good is better than feeling good anyway right??lol
