Beyond Borders

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 19, 2008, 2:06 AM
I'm (slowly) removing borders from my gallery; others sites to which I submit stuff generally recommend clean image edges and, because I'm lazy, I don't want to continue to create unique files for deviantART.

Do you think borders to enhance images or do you think them to be claustrophobic and unnecessary?

Some of your photography is very striking! I especially like 'Infinity' and 'Creationism'

Inspired by your photography, particularly the super 10mm wide angle. Thank you for that. Giving me ideas... :D

I've a short list in Notepad of others' galleries that I'm meaning to visit manually (my inbox has something like 19,000 submissions in it, so...); yours is at the top, as I miss the personality you seem to effortlessly inject into each of your shots.

Thanks! I'll keep posting so long as I keep shooting (which isn't nearly as much as it used to be, unfortunately).

Hi Derek,

I haven't spent much time around lately, and I thought I could stop by to tell you how much I like your photographs! I simply feel good when I look to your art.

keep on posting new stuff ;)

well that's good to know.
i think most of my problem lies w/ lazy composition.
always thinking i can just crop to fix.

Oh, no wonder! You won't find much less than a 16mm lens at full frame (except fisheye lenses). My 10-22mm lens is technically 16-35mm thanks to the crop factor of my camera.
*icondigital:iconicondigital: Feb 24, 2008, 6:08:36 PM
got a full frame sensor :(

Except the Tokina model is apparently a fisheye lens. Whoops. Conclusion: get the Sigma variant.
=eurai:iconeurai: Feb 24, 2008, 2:41:21 PM
Okay, so those links won't work thanks to dA modifying their codes. Hm. Either way: Sigma and Tokina both manufacture great-quality lenses in that focal range (both of which are available with Nikon mounts).

when i bought my 14-24 3 mos. ago i bought two other lens as well.
havent used either yet . . . :)
just got back into photography in aug07 and see in my mind how i want shots to look but havent been able to translate that to results.
havent really seen in other galleries the kind of results i want on a consistent basis, until seeing your gallery.
in that way you've already helped me! :thumbsup:

Thanks so much. :blushes: Yeah: I thought (when purchasing a 10-22mm lens), I guess this could be a temporarily fun investment...now I hardly ever remove it from my camera.
*icondigital:iconicondigital: Feb 23, 2008, 11:37:58 PM
