Flickr testimonials love: Round 2

When I posted last week that I wanted to giveaway some Flickr love I didn’t know exactly what to expect. However it seems the initiative was very well received so why not have a round 2.

Although I said that I was going to leave testimonials for the first 10 people to show interest I ended up leaving about 15. However I had to cut is short somewhere. It is just that I am the kind of persons that hate to hate a very long to do list.

So if you dropped a comment last week and didn’t get your testimonial please feel free to ask again in this thread. I will try to fit, let’s say, 15 people this week.

So what you will have to do ?

Photographer of the week: Gene Smirnov

Gene is not exactly your “everyday” photographer style. There is a lot of raw beauty in his pictures. His creations are so different, to my eyes, that they are almost shocking. It is simply that my eyes are not used to so much truth in pictures.

Each of his exposure is carefully planned, composed and lit to give the scene a very natural aspect. Make sure to check http://www.genesmirnov.com/ for all of Gene’s work.

How many filters do you have ? [Poll]

Since I’ve been writing about filters lately, I was wondering how many filters do you guys have in your bags!

8 Postcards from around the globe

Well that’s it the “Send me a Postcard” project has finished and I got 7 submissions from different part of the world and with mine that makes 8 of them.
Unfortunately most failed to specify the location of the picture.

Flickr testimonials: Another kind of love

I find it sad when I stumble into a profile of a great photographer at flickr and find no testimonials. So I have decided to give away some flickr love

I will be writing testimonials for the first 10 people who show they interest by commenting on this thread. I will take a look at your pictures and write down my thoughts in a constructive way.

So what should you do ?
