Hi John,
Thanks a lot for taking your time to comment on my images, and I respect your point of view. In fact, I always love to get this kind of feedback, because it confirms what I do, I play with reality and the surreal.

If you look in the header of the website you will see, it says Fine Art Photography and not Photo Journalism or that I am a Documentarian. If you read the “about me” section, you will no doubt also have noticed that I work in the borderline between the real and the surreal. I don’t try to portrait reality. On the contrary, I try to find new ways to present it, and I don’t try to satisfy everybody. Clearly I can’t satisfy you.

If you find my images too over saturated, my guess is that you find Black and White photos too under-saturated – nothing in nature looks like black and white photos. I always felt that way too. I like to make richly saturated photos, and I respect people who find it over the top. That is fair, they are saturated, and they are heavily processed.

On one point, you are wrong, though. These images are not HDR photos. Not even processed like HDR. A lot of my images, most in fact, are HDR photos, but not these. I shot them out of a moving vehicle, HDR would have been impossible.

Thanks for your input and have a great day.

These images are awful. Way too much HDR, not natural, and over saturated. Nothing in nature looks like this.

Thans alot Susan. No I wasn’t familiar with the “shotgun shooter”, but I am the same, when I am in the passenger seat :-D. Hope you got some good stuff at Yosemite.

Cool article. I have been looking for something like this, since I am a confirmed “shotgun shooter”. (not sure if you are familiar with the term, “riding shotgun”. It means one is a passenger). Thanks for sharing the info. I am off in a few minutes to practice as we visit Yosemite National Park. Thanks again!
