Hello everybody,
I am interested to see your favorite/best photo that you have taken and to know why you like it. I am surprised sometimes when other photographers see my photographs and comment on photos that I am not very fond of...anyways, let's see what you have and why you like it. I know that we have many favorites and such, but what photo of yours really stands out to you, and why......

Cheers, Michael
 
The photo below was taken about 30 seconds after a terrorist bomb attack that I just so happened to find myself in. I like the photo because I still can't believe that I was able to shoot under those circumstances and concentrate on focusing, metering, composing and everything else that was going through my head at that moment. I like the effect of the slow shutter speeds (blur/movement) and the fact that this and some others led me to being signed by my agency (Gamma).....
(edit) it was taken with a Leica m6ttl and a 28mm elmarit (tri-x)...
(2nd edit)sorry but this is my first thread that I have posted and I didn't mean to put it in the 2008 street photography project category (sorry)
Cheers, Michael

Difficult to say, but i guess it must be the one you will find here http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=75772&ppuser=19772 or perhaps this one http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=82115&ppuser=19772

The first one has been with me some years, the second one is a fairly fresh one. They are not totally different - I seem to always brutally cut of people's faces and make them anonymous...at least I don't need a model release to post them then;-) I think they are both very simple, but yet well composed (in mine eyes, at least🙂

Best Regards,

Toby Vidnes
 
Possibly probably Henry here. I made a 40" inkjet print and I stare at it all day. It was one of my really early photographs and I think I just got lucky with the composition and technical stuff.

Good thread!

Matching colors with the dogs and backgrounds, but also the way they look relaxed

I get more worried and shocked every time I see cops with carrying guns in London, are we going towards and extremist society? We're not there yet but we could be heading down that road...

I've been having a ball lately shooting in museums, I saw this scene and thought it could make an interesting photograph with someones head. A second later someone got closer to the statues to have a closer look, I didn't know what to do so I pressed the shutter =)

Because it seems about the only fine art-ish version of street/documentary work Ive managed to do. To me it has a surreal detachment from reality.

This is actually another favourite...

Here's mine...this is literally one of my very first photos with my M6. I had just received the camera and went out to the de Young Museum tower in San Francisco to test it out. I managed to capture this girl just looking out into the coming fog and view. The photo gives me a sense of calm every time I see it. This is why I fell in love with my M6. I wasn't even sure how to use it yet but I thought this photograph is just perfect.
 
This might not be the best one, but it gives me a certain peace of mind. Taken with a P&S SWC/M:

I really wish I could post mine, but there would definitely be a castration in this household in a matter of minutes.

It's funny, all the equipment I've used and all the vision and concentration, etc.. and my favorite by far was taken on a Poloroid 600 camera while in my apartment. Things just come together sometimes.

Oh well, I'll look at it and enjoy 😎
