Hi Minoo,
Thank you, I am working on a serie of the dandelion about all the points of transformation of this floral. The idea is to put the different stadia in one frame for our kitchen.
Warm greetz,

Featured Critique
Fabulous macro shot!!! Super DOF, great details, love it against that dark background and excellent (com)position... starting of in the corner... very well done!!!
Die pluizenbollen zijn me toch prachtig nietwaar en de afzonderlijke 'pluisjes'... te mooi om af te doen met 'onkruid'... en je ziet ze nu weer overal... heb er gisteren ook weer een paar 'beschoten', maar zo close lukt me (nog) niet... ;-DD

Hi Petal,
Congratulations with your featured critique and thank you for your nice comment.
En die pluizenbollen zijn inderdaad prachtig en de plant zelf is zeer geliefd voedsel voor ondermeer konijnen en koeien.
De jonge bladeren zijn zelfs zeer geschikt als voorjaarssalade en vormen 'n belangrijke vitaminebron. De kruidige smaak is ook geschikt voor in de soep, smeerkaas en eiergerechten.
Als kruid ook geschikt bij stoornissen in de functies van gal, lever en nieren en bij reuma en jicht. Zowel de wortels als het kruid is bruikbaar. Met de zomer voor de deur als bijlage 'n plaatje met een simpele camera gemaakt in de Ardennen tijdens een van onze tochtjes.
Friendly greetz,
Albert Jacobs

En dit 'survival shot' is of een paar jaar geleden gemaakt of net op die ene dag dat het gesneeuwd had deze afgelopen 'winter'... LOL

Hi Petal,
Tsja zo gaat dat hier bij usefilm...
Het survivalplaatje is van 2004 toen ik net m'n Olympus D360 had aangeschaft (-10 C). M'n eerste kennismaking met digitaal was dat, na analoog (nikon F 601). Toen dus december 2005 m'n Nikon D100 2e hands aangeschaft voor 550 euro ipv van nieuwprijs 2800 euro (rekening heb ik erbij gekregen). Geduld wordt uiteindelijk beloond.
Veel schik met m'n D100. De Olympus is intussen alweer verhuisd naar een ander adres. Ach, die heeft z'n nut en stimulatie om over te schakelen naar digitaal wel bewezen.
Vriendelijke groet,
Albert Jacobs

Hi dear Minoo,
Started in 2006 with this project. I took a few hundred shots of this wildflower. But I am content, because I believe I have 4 of the 6 shots that I need for the frame.
I still trying with changes in angle, lightfall, highkey, lowkey and so on. I am convinced that in the end I will look back with satisfaction to this project.
Warm greetz,
Albert Jacobs

Hi dear Srna,
Thanks for your enthousiast feedback. I decided for a while to publish nothing till few. With my busy job and all the interests I have, make me always dealing with lack of time and so I have to decide about priorities or get crazy.
The last I don't desire, so for a while I want to spend my time to visit the nice portfolios presented here, like yours, for closer views and learning. I think this is a good change for me in this most busy period of my work.
This year's vacation (june) we'll go for the first time to Italy for 3 till 4 weeks, so I think I find the rest and shooting oppertunities there.
Warm greetz & huggss..

Hi my dear friend Michele,
Thanks for your detailed and nice feedback.
Life is to busy for me right now. I've learned my lessons in the past. "He who wants all, will get nothing".
So, I decided to publish nothing till few till these coming crazy weeks are over. I shall spend some time on visiting the nice portfolios here, like yours, for closer views and learning.
Finally, I shall return with new shots, after some rest and getting new inspiration.
Warm greetz & huggss...

Hi Astrid,
Thanks, for your kind words. Somewhere else in my reactions om this picture I revealed the trick (at re-comment on Roberto, I think).
I started with real time trying, but that didn't lead to the desired result. So I found an alternative solution.
Warm greetz & huuggss..

Hi Albert! How did you get them to dance like ballerinas? :) Wonderful work!!!

Albert Jacobs
{K:9447} 5/6/2007

Hi dear Elisa,
Thank you. The human perception can easily be misguided. We want to see what we like, even if it's not real. I experienced a while and found out that shooting "dancing like ballerinas" as reality is very difficult.
But I wanted to shoot this effect, so I experimented a bit further and found an alternative approach, to create the suggestion of "dancing".
How I did this is explained by the other more or less similar shot. The most difficult part was creating the depth.
Warm greetz,
Albert Jacobs

Excellent shot Albert - DOF, motion, all great.
One question for you: I am wondering why you have the the seed so close to the right/bottom edge of the frame. It does make the image look ... 'edgy' - is that the look you were aiming for?
|
|
|
|
|
Albert Jacobs
{K:9447} 5/6/2007
|
Hi Mike,
I wanted the seed in that corner. Maybe it's indeed a bit to far to the edge, as I see now.
A lesson for next shots, to keep a little more distance from the corners. Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it !
