I was having a quiet vacation with my family in our summer cottage last week, when suddenly the sky turned dark grey and it started to rain so heavily, that I had ever before seen such waterfall from the sky. And it didn't stop. It just rained, and rained, and rained. Our backyard seemed so fresh and beautiful behind the watery curtain, that I grabbed my camera, opened the window and started to shoot. I tried everything, slower shutter speed, faster shutter speed, auto focusing, manual focusing, but all I got was our beautiful green backyard and a little bit darkish sky. That's all. No raindrops, no smoky rain lines, nothing. Just a little bit cloudy summer day. I found here some great rainshoots. How are, you ... [ Read more... ]

Thank you, Alexander! BTW, I just reread a great page about shooting it the bad weather: Tips for Shooting in Bad Weather by Wendy Green (http://technology.sympatico.msn.ca/Tips+for+Shooting+in+Bad+Weather/ Photography/Tips/Articles/tipsforshootinginbadweather.htm?isfa=1/link). Very interesting. There are some tips, how to protect the camera too. - posted by

I take my picture about a year ago. It was simply rainy day. For that image i set ISO = 800 for shutter speed 1/125s, and thats it.
The real problem for me is how cover camera from water because i havent MarkII or something... - posted by

Here it is. The most downloaded image on DT. 11669 views, 688 downloads for the moment. I was looking at that picture quite a while today and tried to figure out, what makes it so special? Is it shallow DOF? Color tone? business concept? Effortless smile on the model's face? Or just a fact that the photo has been on the site almost from the beginning? What do you think? Bellemedia is certainly a talented photographer. Many of his photos are on my favorites list. Here are some great examples from his portfolio. A gifted artist indeed.

Yes, she doesn't look like fake, isn't it? Sometimes models are trying too hard and you can see from their eyes that they are bored and can't wait for that photoshooting's ending. But she likes to be there. And we like the photo.
Thank you for your comments! - posted by

i think the photo is most downloaded because of both quality and time : the position and focus are great , the subject is commercial and Popular , and the photo still sailing for long time - posted by

It's interesting that you decided to write about this image. I have just included it in an upcoming blog as an example of a terrific business image. The reason it is the most downloaded, from my perspective, is that the emotions are positive and authentic, a woman is featured prominently...a quality most successful business images of today seem to have and because of the selective focus, our eye tells us that we are really relating to the woman. The focus is the same as we have when we look at one person in a group of people. In two words the image is :natural and postive. - posted by

Well, I just got my new website up! How I like it... nowadays it's so easy and fun to modify your site cause there are so many good CMSs (Content Management Systems) around. If you want, you can modify the code, if you don't or don't know how to do it - no problems, you can put your site together as from puzzle pieces. Anyway, I have worked with my new site for some weekends. Got a brand new name: maigi.com :))). So happy... Anyway, I was just giving finishing touch to my site, and struggled with installation of a gallery building tool, when something went wrong and I just wanted to start again with installation process. I had to delete my incomplete database. And that's why delete-buttons are invented for! "Do you want to delete... blah-blah-blah... database.... [ Read more... ]

Don't know what to shoot? Where to find ideas? How to climb out of the creative abyss you have fell into? If you feel like your creative juices have stopped flowing, you can try out The Idea Generator. Too funny... Just try to shoot concept shots under those topics... :)

I'm going to put this link in my favorites. We laugh, but if we CAN get the shots from some of this really strange combinations, it could be a great money shot. Definitely going to look back to that! - posted by
