Posted by nicolas at March 1, 2005 03:56 AMSam, wow, you do have an eye for pattern, color, contrast, and subject matter. Each time I see a new picture here I learn and I am forever thankful that you are sharing your work, not just for others to see but to learn from.
Thanks.
Posted by Richard at March 1, 2005 07:26 AMI like this a lot. Great colors. Very simple and rich at the same time. The dof is a quite nice.
Posted by Abe at March 1, 2005 11:32 AMLots of great textures in this shot, which I could see more of the bike though.
Posted by photojunkie at March 1, 2005 11:47 AMSam, I like it how you can capture the essence of a scene.
This one reminds me of the rusty railings around the terrace of my old house. It needed to be cleaned with a steel brush in preparation of painting.
Woah! The pic is awesome, but what instantly caught my eye was rust-sidewalled old-school IRC tire. Nice. :)
Makes me want to dust off my bike and go for a ride.
Posted by BrotherAli at March 1, 2005 01:23 PMWow. These colors are beautiful, and I love the angle/perspective. I feel like I'm sitting on the step. I really like this one! :)
Posted by Alyssa at March 1, 2005 01:33 PMA++ I really like they way I feel "broke" looking at this image

Sam, as always I have to say you got the colors right once again. I asked you this a few times back, but you were probably too busy...would you mind sharing with us what your 'post' photo process you usually follow? As you once said, taking a photo of something is only a part of photography; the rest is all in manipulating it (well, that wasn’t your exact words, but I some how remember this)
That Bike looks like its been through hell and back. However used it really took it for some long mileage. I like the crispness of the yellow and the wheels way of jumping forward in the photo. However, this subject matter just doesn't do it for me. I'm just not intregued by it enough to want to look at it very long. I guess im one of those people who likes shinny new things better than old broken down things... personal opinion nothing more than that. The photo was well executed as always.
As for people asking about post processing of sams photos ... look a few days back at.. http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/archives/photos_landscape/050221_1045.shtml
Sam already posted a tutorial link underneith the photo.
I absolutely love the texture of this shot.
Posted by Brad at March 2, 2005 01:43 AMReally like the red in the details, great angle too...
Posted by flygirl at March 2, 2005 09:03 AMVery impressive! I like it - the two contrasting colors of two objects so worn yet very complimenting of each other.
Love it!
Posted by Zeb Oliver at March 2, 2005 01:05 PMI was just telling some of my colleages about the use of tripods and I saw your photograph. They immediately became believers. Great picture. I hope you used a tripod; if you didn't, kudos to you.
Posted by Hamil at March 3, 2005 12:25 AMthis is one of my favorites! i love the colors (whoever painted brick that bright was brave) and the angle is spectacular!
