Rumblebuffin's Palette

It's great work indeed and your post adds huge value to marko's thoughts as well Iggy.

Funny, now that BF mentions the symbolism behind the photo and what he was attempting to go after, does anyone realize that all the colours on here are those of the Olympic Rings and the Olympic Flag?

All the 5 colours of the Olympic flag contain exactly at least one colour of all the colours of all the flags of all the counties on the earth?

Kinda cool if you ask me..... :clap:

Oh, man! Did I put my foot in my mouth, or what? :footinmou I certainly didn’t mean to imply that I don’t enjoy posting here anymore. To the contrary, the neighborhood gets better and better every day.

I think what I was trying to say was that I’m going to do my best to post only the images that I think are a cut above the rest that reside on the card after a day of shooting and if I don’t find any of them to be something that the viewer can draw anything from then I won’t post at all. That follows something Marko talked about in an earlier podcast where he suggested you show only what you believe to be your best.

It’s seldom that I throw anything up in the critique forum, but when I do its fair game and I don’t mind getting ripped. In fact, my biggest critic happens to be my best friend and she shows me no mercy at all. You guys are panty weights compared to her. :laugh:

I’ve been looking at this thing in a different way lately. I want to try my hand at developing an image. When I see something that I think would work it may be a week or so before I get back to it, but in the mean time I’m shooting it over and over in my mind so that when I get there I already know exactly what I want from the shot. That’s going to mean fewer images, but hopefully better ones.

Anyway, I can’t begin to tell you all how much I appreciate the words of encouragement. Trust me, they’ve come at a time when I need them most.

I think as we develop as photographers we become our own toughest critics, but it's good to have the feedback from others to get there. :)

Thanks for that post BF - Glad we'll still be seeing shots from you as you have an EXCELLENT eye and i enjoy your work.:goodvibes
