that's really sharp, man. i'm glad the dof isn't so shallow that there isn't enough recognizable features on the guy in the back (like if it were an f2 or something).

this would make a killer print.

for fun, next time you get the opportunity, see if you can get a long motion blur on the cueball as it's coming towards the 8ball. just make sure the guy in the back, once he hits the ball softly, holds very still.

I really like your composition - the angle and focus - a very effective and clever shot!!!

This is a great exercice of DOF and focusing. As sharp as it could be.
The well contrasted black and white adds something to the image too.
Nice work.

i like the depth of field alot, and the black and white works perfectly here. I thought about doing a shot like this a while ago, this is motivating me to get out there and actually shoot it

One of the best pool shots I've seen. First of all, I think the composition is top rate. My attention, of course, goes straight to the 8ball (which is so nicely focused), but then my eyes wander to the blurred pocket in the foreground and then the person in the background -- a nice, oblique triangular structure. As mentioned by others, I especially like the depth of field. Again, another shot of yours that I find hard to criticize. I do think the lights in the background are a little distracting, but nothing you could've done about that.

Picked a good person to learn from * nasigoreng is quite an inspiration - I've always enjoyed his black and white work.

I don't know why - but I've always been a sucker for black and white pool hall shots - very classy feel to them. I think you pulled it off well here - the game is right down to the wire - will he sink the 8 ball or not?

No suggestions from me - I think this is perfect, hope to see some more!

sigpras In reply to griff-flyer [2005-02-02 01:37:05 +0000 UTC]

yup i know it for sure...
i thin i need a fixed lens... 50mm F1.8 thats enough...

that shot using my walkaround lens for now... its 24-120 VR F 3.5-5.6 and this is not fixed

i wish nikon produce 24-120 with F2.8 fixed.... how big that lens would be

griff-flyer In reply to sigpras [2005-02-03 21:36:49 +0000 UTC]

I'm really not enthusiastic about zooms, can't work seriously with them (not that I work seriously that is ). The Nikkor 50 f/1.8 on the D70 is sharp as a razorblade and very performant, haven't tried the f/1.4 enough even though my girfriend has got one....if you're interested and don't know what to chosse I'll take some test/comparative shots in critical conditions.

Good work anyhow....as always

I love it. It's as if the 8 ball is the pinnacle of that strange universe, the players body and thoughts seem to be so focused that they are revolving around it.
Beautiful, packed full of tension.
