I really like it!

Experimenting with depth of field. Nice attempt!

I think this is cool, i'd be interested to see more of your 'work' shots!

No I'm afraid this is really rather boring. i would rather you dig deep into your past photographs on the beach in Blackpool.

I think this shot is a fresh breeze of difference. It's something other than your usual material and that makes me like it. I've followed your blog for 6 month now and I like it a lot but you can se a pattern. A DJN1-pattern. This one stands out from that pattern, plus I like a documentary series.

I'd be very interested to see a few more of your commissioned shots.

I can work towards closing the gap between the two.

I believe it was Ansel Adams who, explaining why he did commercial work, said that it gave him a set of challenges he would never think to set himself, and thus improved his ability to get the shots he wanted when he was on his own time.

I like this a lot and probably for reasons that would bore many others. I have long enjoyed architectural photography (when done well) and this is an architectural shot! The perspective is perfect. Look at the building, the ramp or steps in the background, the curb in front, the distant buildings, and the entrance with signage.

Handy how the windows have been labeled for the fire department. Where are the pigeons?

The DOF wouldn't usually be in architectural photography but here it hides the details that would tell a different story. Very nice job on the lighting and composition.

Machines without people interacting with them seems pretty boring.

O.K., that's not quite fair; there's always the architectural aspect to it, as Sharla says--but I find the colors of the background conflicting with the foreground and hard to look at, and doesn't keep me focused on the subject.

I think this would really stand out with desaturation, a bit of contrast increase, and a lot of burning done in an arc around the right edge to lose most of the distraction of the background and some of the desk--maybe even a cold, industrial toning applied.

Nice Ansel Adams advice provided by Bill.

Good.

I like it.

Would work great as part of a brochure or other advertising for the area; I'm guessing you could tweak the color cast of the original to fit the context of whatever it was placed in.

i'm ALWAYS short of material to put on ;) ; not a bad one actually.

It looks liek a city block, with a skyscraper on the left.

It's interesting that others have already made the comment about this looking like architectural photography. When the thumbnail popped up in my Newsfire window, I first thought it was a shot of some corporate buildings, with the 'fake tiltshift' effect that is quite popular at the moment applied to it (to create the impression that it's a photograph of a miniature 'model railway' sized building).

But no.

So in a totally unintentional way, this shot was interesting for a few seconds but I would concur that your eye does not like being tethered to a corporate brief as much as it likes wandering the vagaries of Brighton looking for the unusual in the ordinary...

Actually I like it too... Still i have lots of pictures of piles of electronic stuff that is mostly music making. As a small point it should actually be GI-10 not G1-10 -- the sad music geeks woun't find your photo otherwise!

A good solid image, great depth of field use, good tones and colors and perfect detail. Nice solid shot here!

I really like the perspective of this shot. It's nice.

I used to work in radio so I have a good appreciation for good sound equipment. I think the shot is rather nice.

Tim: thanks, I've retitled this one :-) As for the rest of your comments - more later.

I love this, for what it is. Cool angle.

Technically its pretty much flawless, but then what else can we expect from you? Especially when considering its a commisioned piece.

As for the subject, it doesn't really do anything for me.

But as a blog piece it lets us see another aspect of your life, and definitally was worth the entry, and more so if your lacking content matter at the moment!

love it! i saw thumbnail first at photos.vfxy.com and was sure that it is city picture. looks like 7 store building :) with entrance and rooftop ! super!

Just like Leova, looking at it's icon in vfxy I thought it's a building shot too. I like how you included the round corner of the table. Really cool shot.

This has a great architectural quality....er.... yeah the architecture of Mars....... with a classic Martian purple sky. I like to see commissioned photography presented as worthy of examination. Some professional missions result only in images to comply to the brief but most result in images that even out of the context deserve to be addressed in their own right. I mix some assignments into personal images on my blog. Its completely seamless...... er....... sort of.

I like the depth of field. Very nice colors.

Thanks everyone.

I'm another one that briefly thought it was a building, and whether this was intentional or not, for me it makes this image interesting.

nice lighting here on this one !!
guess this one is wonderful piece of hardware..

Crank it to 11 - you know, one higher than the rest.

è bellissimo questo blog! complimenti!!!
