Nate047 Nate047 Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/03/03 Posts: 28558 Loc: La La Land, CA	Sup 'yall? I wanted to start a thread where you can post up cool websites, flickrs, individual photos, etc... Stuff that inspires you, stuff that makes you think "yes, photography is good." We all have moments when we want to throw in he towel, so take a minute to share what inspires YOU. Please refrain from posting dozens of images at a time, use links for huge groups of shots, etc, just be cool. $\:D$ To start it off, my favorite car photographers right now: http://www.piepenburg.de/ http://www.matscordt.com/ http://romerphotography.eu/ http://www.duribeiro.com.br/ http://www.jeffludes.com/ Nate EDIT: stickie?

FWIW, I've played with the HDR function on CS5 a little bit and while I haven't made any changes worth saving, it's not hard at all to avoid the cartoon halo look. cheers, scott _________________________ Still pissy after all these years...

Chadbrochills Chadbrochills Post Master Supreme Registered: 07/08/04 Posts: 23648 Loc: Ocala, FL	I'm really into surf photography, that would be my dream job (besides being a pro surfer). These guys inspire me, even though I haven't been able to get to the beach much lately. Aaron Chang http://www.aaronchanggallery.com Jeff Divine http://www.jeffdivinesurf.com Tom Servais http://www.tomservais.com Sean Davey http://www.seandavey.com Drew Brophy (he's more of an artist. he does some unreal shit) http://www.drewbrophy.com And I can't forget....you guys inspire me, honestly. You all have a unique style which is awesome and helps me to want to get out there and become a better photographer. _________________________ -Chad

scootergeek scootergeek Post Master Supreme Registered: 07/24/00 Posts: 46248 Loc: East of St. Louis	Since I'm an art school fag, I probably draw more from mid 20th century film photographers than current digital shooters. But I think these guys are all worth knowing: Joel Meyerowitz http://www.joelmeyerowitz.com/photography/index.html William Klein http://www.masters-of-photography.com/K/klein/klein3.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V_F_MDfB2g Robert Frank http://www.metmuseum.org/special/robert_frank/images.asp Oh, and I heartily recommend following Magnum Photos on facebook http://www.facebook.com/MagnumPhotos I read a bunch of modern blogs, but usually for technical or philosophical nourishment rather than graphic inspiration. Maybe we could do a thread on that too (or add them to this one?). cheers, scott _________________________ Still pissy after all these years...

jsmonet jsmonet Post Master Supreme Registered: 11/13/99 Posts: 152587 Loc: So. Cali	this must seem cliche at this point, but after being shown Richard Avedon's work, I fell in love with it. http://www.richardavedon.com/ I really need to play with people more. His work, while not pretty, never seemed ugly. It was just disarming. Chase Jarvis is great because he is willing to dissect his work for us. I'm not a huge fan of the results, but seeing the process makes the whole thing more....accessible or approachable. +1 on the Nate love. There's an awesome Jedermann quality to seeing him/you post here and then see this killer stuff posted too. rock on, dude. _________________________

iParker iParker Unregistered	If any of you are interested in learning more about off-camera lighting or are afraid of how to begin with it, get the OneLight DVD from this guy: http://www.zackarias.com I watched this yesterday and now everything makes so much sense. I'm horribly inspired now to get out and try to do some of what he did.

He's switched over to digital now, but he was still shooting film on an F5 at the time of the filming. cheers, scott _________________________ Still pissy after all these years...
