Good on ya David for having your pic on tv – that’s fantastic!

From a graphic design point-of-view, I believe the picture works very well with the type layout. Initially your eye is drawn in by the light area of the bridge (on the right) which takes you to the white type “weather description” where we naturally read down to David’s name. Subtly your eye is led up via the far right bridge column to the bridge’s perspective and then to the white area of the bridge where we start over again. So Braux, its not just the pic where looking at here, it’s the overall design – how image and type work together.

I find the photo alone captures the feeling of a long pleasant afternoon, with the bridge extending into the distance (symbolic of a “long afternoon”). I like the strong lighting – it helps create the mood.

OUTLOOK
– A fine picture
– Mostly sunny reviews with a possible isolated light shower
– A pleasant 21-25 degrees

Hi, Congrats on that accomplishment Dave! I was just hoping you could provide more info on how to send in your pictures, is there an email you send it to or a website you go to?
Thanks!

I liked the picture you have taken. but it is replies and comments like the forst post that I do not post pictures. If your not a pro then don’t say crap about how bad they are or how dark they are. dang! jsut my 2 cents.

Well congratulations David. I too have had a picture chosen for our local tv news broadcast and it was not one of my best! Your picture to me depicts a nice stroll on a quiet Sunday afternoon. Thank you for sharing.

Nice to see so much commentary on photography. In defence of Braux, criticism is always necessary if we are to improve. I agree with Patrick. Re the lack of tact – read the comment from the perspective of someone to whom English is not a first language. Come on everyone don’t be too hard on others. We are all in this to improve ourselves – aren’t we? If we can’t take a bit of criticism then maybe we should get out of the game. Thanks David, for your valuable contribution to the art. Your web hints and tutorials are great.

For Erika (and others who may be wondering):

When I submit a picture to a television station for broadcast, it is a copy of the original sent to them via e-mail. This has produced clearer quality pictures than the scanned pictures they showed. (Although the actual reason for the request for pictures to be sent to them via email rather than via the regular mail is when we had all of those Anthrax scares going around at that time. In the email I state my name, my city, and what the picture is of).

Nice going my friend, I have entered some of mine at our Indiana State Fair, I guess mine
is not weird enough. I thought
they were good anyway. I asked Santa for a new camera for Christmas, my wife said I haven’t been that good. Best always,
Tine

I liked the photo, although I too thought it was a bit dark, but it did make me remember hot sunny afternoons around 4pm on a Sunday. So the photo did its job.

Hi David,
Looking at the picture the first impression or feeling I got was that of CALMNESS. I looked at it the second time and I had the impression of a MOVING TRAIN created by the the bridge in perspective.
These all ministered to me, but most of all I havefuther been encouraged to KEEP SHOOTING even if you don’t make any meaning out of it immediately because it will make meaning later.
Thanks for being a GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT TO ME and many others.
