Get Korrected

Same thing for me goes for paparazzi, criminology... what else...microbs, bacteria, funeral, and flower photography I can name a whole lot of stuff that bores me in photography doesn't mean that these things shouldn't exist.

IMHO and again IMHO ONLY.
sports photography in general doesn't really have a place in my heart to be honest. I mean, all you do is to sit there with a 600mm white pipe and hope that something interesting happens... by the end of the game you wish you never have done that
maybe it's just me as I don't watch sports, I'd rather play them

Though I really like when a photographer takes a step back and starts to show more from "other"side of the sports scene. Like this portrait for example. It's just nice to look at. I won't comment on compositions and all that, because it's not really that important here.
It's about the guy's eyes covered by the towel. There's something there that make me like this one. There are no rules. Just good pictures. This is a good picture to me.

I read that first part and I said to myself, "Oh man, I have it coming." I'm glad you like the picture.

I think timing is something you have to develop for sports photography and it's really not as easy as it sounds. It's right up there with "vision" and "creativity" and that "rhyming" you keep mentioning.

The difficulty comes from the very thing you claim makes it too easy...the photographer has zero control over what's in front of his lens.

Depends on what type of sports photographer you are. Being on the sidelines at top college games, the pit at the World Series, and weekly NFL games, I've learned that there are two types of sports photographers. The kind that never take their finger off their 1D4 shutter and the kind that pick their shots.

Sounds like you've never actually done it before. I'm not expecting you to like it or even shoot it. Just don't dismiss it as easy and boring. Trust me, it's not. We should all respect those who are good at the things we cannot or will not do.

A lot of good sports photography has to do with action/reaction (timing), location, and location. My knowledge of anticipating location is getting better but my timing is still subpar.

I didn't show any disrespect by saying that it is boring to me.
Sports photography is boring to me. It is.
Not gonna do it. Not interested. Not for me. There are great examples of it, I've seen them and I have nothing against people who created those photos.

You belittled the process. That's where your disrespect was.

or this?

Have no idea how did I miss this thread!!! I Almost never enter the critique corner...
OK Misha, rip it!!!
Shooting from February 2010,
I am not really happy with the outcome here, you have more than couple of them and you can critique in general, no need pic by pic(I know you don't type that fast). My Flickr, so you can see how the whole Sheila set went if you wish.
I went for the B&W from the beginning & was trying to work on those lines, diagonals & geometry...
Thanx Misha
P.S. I did not hang out around www.1x.com as much as I am suppose to, was really busy to sit and do proper reading.

I need "general" PP, but if you wish so, than make it the 1st pic posted...thanx.

Korrektor! The Simon Cowell of POTN C&C.
There's definitely a place for this type of thread and the critique he's offered has been both honest and insightful. No malicious intent.

That being said I'll subscribe for the entertainment value! Please continue.

Misha, Glad you started this. I think I have told you before, but I've been shooting for about 2.5 years.
Let me know what you think about this one. Thanks!

I like this image though I do think the contrast is a bit high and I kinda like the crop as is handlebar and everything. K hit it with the comp comment and the repeating shapes.

Gotta crash 06:15 photo shoot tomorrow.

Thanks a lot Allen! Ill keep this in mind!

for me giving out critique is a way to see things more clearly for myself. So this thread is
really a selfhelp one

If anyone wants you may post your photos here for some critique. Nothing personal. No sugar coating. Having thick skin is a must. Please specify how long you have been taking pics.

1 PICTURE PER DAY PER PHOTOGRAPHER please. I don't type that fast )))

who's first? muhaha )

my opinions are not set in stone. I just use my own set of eyes coupled with a little bit of experience. Everything I write can be absolutely wrong.

I don't know why people keep coming back here to complain because he's clearly stated what the thread is about. It's like listening to Howard Stern day after day and then spend all your time bitchin that the guys rude. Change the channel if you don't like it, it's that simple.

Please "korrect" this shot, but don't say anything negative or belittl...jk
