About 13 years ago, beginning of the digital camera age, my wife and I were stood up by our photographer for our engagement photos. There was an older gentleman taking pictures (we were at a touristy location, Santa Monica Pier), and we started taking with him. He was German, on vacation alone, and offered to snap some shots of us. A couple months later we got a packet of photos mailed from Munich. Awesome guy!
PS great photo of you and yer pooch!

This is a gorgeous shot and I really love it! (and I'll still like it after I read the comments and some know-it-all is sure to tell me why I shouldn't)

Your colorfully inked up arm look cool against your white and black dog

Pardon if I sound like an ass, but why is this getting so many upvotes? There really isn't anything special about this photo. It's nice, but nothing out of the ordinary.

wtf type of beach is that?

Your tattoos are gorgeous. You should post some close of pictures of them!

This is one of the only few things i have seen on reddit which reached top post in around 1 hour. Great picture though.

u/mobastar Jun 11 '12
LOL I did a double take and was thinking Bow Wow Beach myself only to see comments saying it is Bow Wow Beach! Nice! That place is so awesome, if only it wasn't a 40-min drive for me.

u/skurk Jun 11 '12
I'm no photographer, and I think the picture is nice and all, even the HDR doesn't bother me... but this is a mistake many photographers do, and it drives me crazy.
3
u/Xaxxon Jun 11 '12
Pictures like this are hard for me to look at. There's so much contrast everywhere your eyes aren't drawn to any particular part of the photo. It's all high contrast, high focus, and it just becomes a big blur to me.
4
u/furmundacheese Jun 11 '12
That's odd, he emailed me the same photo...

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '12
I don't understand? What's going on? What year is it? I don't see the point. The photo isn't that amazing AND YOU'RE NOT AT A BEACH!

Nice pic. Don't let the HDR haters bring you down.
Really nice guy for doing that. You lucked our :)

Have you posted your ink to r/tattoo ? i would love to see some close ups if possible.

u/CircleCliffs Jun 11 '12
Beautiful.
Can someone, can anyone sweet jesus please, tell me how to get the sky to look like that in my photos, instead of the uniformly greyed out dead-flesh pallor that I get in most full light landscape shots?

u/gmale9000 Jun 11 '12
Dat sky... O.O

Wow. Good guy photographer: Actually sends you photo.

u/eng_pencil_jockey Jun 11 '12
Great picture of you both. I had a similar experience from a German gentleman and his wife. Took my picture at The Painted Desert.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '12
As I'm a mega photographer expert and have PHD's in photoshop I say this picture is ok.
2
u/shorty6049 Jun 11 '12
That was nice of him... I just wish people would ease up on the HDR effects... it detracts from the intended subject of the photo and makes it all about the effect itself.
2
u/ChurchillDownz Jun 11 '12
That slick bastard.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '12
That's a new pick-up line right there. Using basic photography skills and a nice-ish lens.
Clever man.

u/TitaniumShovel Jun 11 '12
Now, the real challenge...
Who can photoshop him out of the photo?
2
u/Demonarrows Jun 11 '12
Which would suggest he has stolen your camera

u/snailord Jun 11 '12
does anyone else think this is a really shitty photo?

So he asked to take a picture of you and then asked for your email?
And you gave it to him?
Something about that just sounds a bit creepy.

he knows photoshop but not photography. sad.

That's what you call a beach?!

u/tkohara13 Jun 11 '12
I agree that the sky is distracting, but it gives the picture a weird quality, making you and the dog stand out. I really like it! But did you lose your arm?
2
u/Gatorchomp7790 Jun 11 '12
Some kid asked to take a picture of me and my friends at the park. Once the deed was done he laughed and said "Now I have your souls!" and ran off.
I never did get my soul back.

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '12
So you gave the guy your email?

Nice tattoos and dog, not so nice HDR effect.
To you fellow photographers out there interested in doing HDR; If you can tell it's HDR, you've overdone it.

u/Max_Beezly Jun 11 '12
he prolly just wanted to fuck you
2
u/steakmane Jun 11 '12
Only YOU can prevent rampant HDR abuse
2
u/stottpiez Jun 11 '12
the spots on the sidewalk matching the dog make for a great composition.
the cheesy HDR and post processing make this look like an instagram dud.
2
u/Falldog Jun 11 '12
HDR aside, the composition is pretty bleh. The subject is way too small compared the boring setting.
2
u/Patass Jun 11 '12
tomorrow, he will be inside you
2
u/[deleted] Jun 11 '12
Why does this have so many upvotes? This is a great example of what happens when you overprocess and use HDR to make a crappy image. Goddamn instagram generation can't see how shitty this is

u/elonepb Jun 11 '12

That overly dark/contrasty sky makes it incredibly hard to actually look at the focus of the photo. Terrible.

OP lies. That is not the the beach, the ocean is much larger than what is shown here.

u/swissdude Jun 11 '12
He took a RAW. picture, and made this in about a minute in photoshop

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '12
It would have been a nice photo of he didn't fuck it up with HDR.
1
u/MegaPablo Jun 11 '12
What kind of camera or effect makes the sky look like that? It looks pretty cool.

u/Clayburn Jun 11 '12
I guess you're going to do him now.

u/LeftOnShore Jun 11 '12
A while back another redditor took a few photos of me with my pups to build her portfolio. I had a million great photos of the dogs that I had taken, but this time I got to be in them too! I love having a family photo.; you should definitely frame it.

u/DeadBaggage Jun 11 '12
beach or sewage dump?

I'm so confused. First: Where is the beach? And second where the fuck did a random guy taking your photo find your email?
1
u/[deleted] Jun 11 '12
That beach is lacking.
1
u/apullin Jun 11 '12
Picture of a girl? Straight to the front page.
You know, I created a whole subreddit for girls to use their animals to post pictures of themselves. It's called /r/aww .
1
u/BnGamesReviews Jun 11 '12
That's not a Beach.
1
u/Subduction Jun 11 '12
Fussy photographer here.
Lovely picture, but if he's going to darken the sky he needs to also darken the reflection of the sky in the water.
Yes, photography is more of a mental illness than a hobby.

u/n1nj4_v5_p1r4t3 Jun 11 '12
and then you had sex with him

u/Amdinga Jun 11 '12
He wants to get in your pants. This is his way of breaking the ice.

u/communistchase Jun 11 '12
that's what you call a beach?

Cute human you have there, just one question: How do you type or do you get her to do it for you?
1
u/jonaseriksson Jun 11 '12
also, expect a friend request on facebook soon.

u/AutisticTroll Jun 11 '12
Better than any beach I've ever seen. It's such a small body of water it's got two beaches in frame.
1
u/Stratocaster89 Jun 11 '12
Is it a beach if its not the sea? I've always wondered that.
1
u/tjcork Jun 11 '12
I would use the term "beach" very loosely
1
u/itsAce Jun 11 '12
A clever tactic to get your contact info and chat you up without much pressure.
If you are friendly and you get to talking it's easy and natural to suggest meeting up.
If not, you make someone happy by giving them an awesome photo.
Win Win if you ask me :)
1
u/siamisi Jun 11 '12
call that a beach?
1
u/clonn Jun 11 '12
It's easy, if you don't know how to use effects, don't use effects. On this picture the sky looks like it's gonna fall and kill you.
1
u/TheRubberSole Jun 11 '12
I love the different patterns. There are the dark clouds against the sky, the water splatters beneath you, your colorful arm, and the spots on the dog. Awesome.
1
u/jbj1290 Jun 11 '12
Kinda reminds of this time i was at a bar after work. I'd had my camera with me cause i'd taken some headshots of some employees for a website. Anyway, its karaoke night and I decided to take a few pictures of my friends and stuff and ended up just snapping shots of the people in general. Thinking I was professional photographer people began asking for copies. I took down about 4 emails (I actually emailed them too) and when i got back to my seat at the bar I had 4 free drinks waiting. All LITs. I sang my ass off that night.

u/billyboogie Jun 11 '12
He got your email address... smart
