Photography

My brother is getting into photography and frequently asks me what I think. I'm a bit biased and don't know much about the finer point of the art. With the broad array of people here I thought I would post a link to his stuff if anyone is interested in checking it out. There's animals, landscapes, flowers, my son, sports, models, etc, etc.

Feel free to leave comments on what you think, he's looking for honest feedback.

For those who care, he's using a Nikon D40 I think, but I don't know which lenses he has. I know the one he wants is 7k.

Anyway, I appreciate it and hope you enjoy the pics as much as I do.

Cool Pics.

Nikon's are the only camera to use. IMO

May I make a suggestion to him? As a semi-professional photographer with 30 years experience, I have had some of my photographs appear in magazines.

Tell him to forget about the 1/3 rule. Where your subject should be in the center of the picture. That's not how pictures should be. No one wants to see grass, unless it's the hills of Ireland, or Kentucky grass that is "blue".

These are examples of the subject in the middle of the picture.

Now, here are examples of pictures with the subject at the bottom.

I think everyone will agree, that these are much better. The first 2 shots are examples of what I am talking about.

However, there are times that the ground is as interesting as the scenery. Example of the 3rd shot. Where you have the train and the running water beneath it.

    • Then we had some impressive coaches to finish 8th from worst plus all of our injuries.  Titans and Raiders were pretty bad as well.
    • Agents have been out-negotiating GMs for years. That's why they had to implement the rookie wage scale. Top drafted rookies were basically starting to walk into the NFL as some of the highest paid guys in the league. Take it up in the next CBA. In the meantime, it is what it is. Agents hold the upper hand in these rookie negotiations and they know it. The teams already have a significant unrecoverable investment spent on these draftees in the value of the pick that they spent. Given the rookie wage scale there's not much to negotiate other than guarantees and offset language and once again the agents are kicking the GMs' asses again.
    • Except it's not about the money, it's precedent and teams not wanting to go down that path.  Once you guarantee all the 2nd rounders, then the 3rd rounders will want it, and so on.  If they keep viewing it as say, "well it's only X amount of money" then it's a slippery slope that doesn't end. Then you get Free Agents saying, "well if you're fully guaranteeing the contract of an unproven 57th pick of the draft, you clearly should be fully guaranteeing mine as your big FA signing this offseason" The NFL doesn't work with fully guaranteed contracts under it's current cap model.  If you want to give them out to the true elite of the elite players at impact positions like QB and Edge, then so be it, but there needs to be a line in the sand or it will get real messy.
