Tim Zeipekis Photography

I have come here to personally thank you for your having been kind and caring enough as a PN member to have written me a comment. Your portfolio is still small but shows how passionate you are and testifies your having certain photographic skills and knowledge. keep expanding your portfolio and be confident that it will get a good rank. About your request: Can you imagine how much color this shot displays in the original shot? practically nothing. As you see, there was overcast, so the only color there was was that of the little bit of the sky seen where the cloud was broken, so it was nearly a black and white from the word go.

I wanted to thank you for you comments on my photo/portfolio. Your work has strong aesthetic appeal and shows great compositional framing. Very nice work! I look forward to seeing more from you in the future.

Regards,

Matthew Benson

Hi Tim -- I saw your topic in the forums and thought I'd stop in to see why you feel stuck. The images you've posted are clean and nicely composed. A print is usually percieved as a metaphor so I really like the mood in several of the shots. Best advise is to keep shooting and take some risks. If you're shooting film, buy a brick and shoot at least 2 rolls a day for a week. Be spontaneous, shoot things that attract your attention, and convey your feeling about the subject. Don't take the ratings on this site to heart.

Best Regards, John

Very nice portfolio. I see we have similar interests....

I like your creativity. I chucked at the taco bell and the dog. I also admire your curiosity to really get into what you are doing and try to give the viewers a different perspective of everyday things. You definatly have a skill and a good eye. Keep on doing what you are doing, because it only gets better.

Thanks for the nice comments and suggestion on my photo. Your gallery looks great! Best Regards

Thank you very much Tim for your comment on my portfolio, I appreciate. And, it's a very good idea to put a photograph of missing children on this site...all will see its face and will be able to perhaps help to find this little angel.

Tim-- I want to thank you for the kind words you've spoken about me in the forums. Your appreciation means a lot to me. Please know that I also get a lot out of giving you my impressions, looking carefully at your interesting work, and seeing what you come up with image after image. Generally, the level of discourse in the forums can be less than stellar, as so many people seem just to want to get their hostilities out in the relatively anonymous theater of internet communication. It's hard to say a word without getting jumped by someone, so it was bold of you to attempt a thoughtful and, in my mind, worthwhile and good suggestion. Don't count on it getting picked up by the administration. In any case, as long as we continue some dialogue about each others' photos, I'm content. Thanks again! --Fred

thanks a lot for ur support tim.:)u have a beautiful gallery .... :)

You have some wonderful images in your portfolio, full of variety and detail - very interesting. Best regards:)

I got you from the lens hood discussion and came to see your portfolio. Nice pictures and compositions.

The close ups with the 14-45 in some picture is good. Did you use any teleconverotr or is it just the lens.

Thanks

Great photos Tim! Thank you very much for giving me some feedback on the Olympus system!

Thanks Guru Shreenivas for saying so, I'm glad I could be of assistance.

I really like all of your images. You have a very eclectic and interesting collection of shots. Your airshow images are just first rate. I notice that we both use the Evolt, aren't they a great camera. I've had mine about a year and a half and I'm just now starting to figure out how powerful it is. Keep up the great work, Tim. Cheers! Chris

Thanks again Chris, I've had my OLY for about the same amount of time and I love it as well, there are sooo many features on this camera, it will take me a while to master it. My only regret is that the EVOLT-510 just came out.......so I've been eyeballing that one........we'll see. Anyway, thanks again for the encouraging comments.

Muy buenas tomas. composiciones pensadas en las flores y en los ni�os. Las imagenes de los aviones son dinamicas. Saludos y gracias por su comentario en "Adiccion.jpg"

Gracias tanto, por sus palabras Ruben Dario Colorado Madrid de la clase

Impressive details on the last photos of the airshow...very good POV to see many interesting details...glad to visit your portfolio your details and macro nature photos are also excellents!!! Saludos, Daniella

Thank You Daniella, your words are appreciated.

Hi, Tim! Thanks for leaving me a comment! As for your portfolio, you have a very nice eye that has rendered some very interesting photos! Keep shooting!

Your porfolio is very pleasant. I like much your portraits and photos of nature. Best wishes. Vicente.

Thank you Vicente for the compliment, it's greatly appreciated.

Tim...thank you for speaking to me recently. I truly hope that I see lots of you and your photographs in the near future. Don't leave me stranded here! We have much in common my good friend. You enrich the sight with your work and your humanity...so don't give up the good fight... john

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken

Right back atcha, buddy!

... but two things. First, I love your shots, especially the World Without Color folder, which I find very strong. Second, it is clear from your work why you would choose to quote Gandhi in your personal web page. Those sentiments are hard to visualize, but somehow your portfolio does so. You have my admiration.

Your portfolio is absolutely inspiring! Thankyou!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!

Thanks a lot for your comment on Brooklyn Bridge, your appreciation means a lot to me!! Happy 2008 and all the best for you.

I wanted to thank you for your kind words on my bw photo of Point Reyes... it meant alot to me. You have a very good eye and well rounded portfolio, I especially like your bw abstracts, and the trees. I am a tree shooter myself. Keep up the good work and seeya round campus, Ron

Tim, I really enjoyed viewing your entire portfolio...you have a very unique and interesting perspective...well done.

Thank you all for taking the time, your kind comments boost my confidence.

Great portfolio, I love your work! You do have an eye for photography and your perception of perspective is excellent. Well done!

Thank you Yiannis, I appreciate it.

An intriguing and inspiring portfolio, I have looked at it a few times now and I always come away feeling enriched by your take on life. Thanks.

Thanks so much, your ever growing portfolio continues to impress me, so your taking the time to view mine is greatly appreciated......

How did i do it? Original colour> monochrome> selections to change brightness/contrast> dark sepia> then burning/dodging.I removed sky,was boring.This is from memory,i think it's pretty close.Hope this makes sense Viewed your portfolio good work.Regards steve

Great portfolio...Your B&W and Sepia work is awesome! Thanks for commenting on mine. I'll be back to look more.

Your words fuel my ego!LOL

I keep seeing your name, and then I read your comment to Marina Cano about her article in Popular Photography....amazing work, isn't it? So I thought I'd check out your portfolio. Wonderful work! You do have a knack for landscapes, and you have a wonderful sense of composition and color. Yet your black and whites are great also. I'm becoming more a fan of B&W as I see a lot of great work here on Photo.net. Keep up your great work!

Thanks you for the kind words, I'll come visit your portfolio soon to repay the favor....

I wanted to check out your portfolio and thank you for commenting on my "hunting camp" shot. You have a wonderful collection of images and I'll have to return for a closer look.

Regards,

Dick

I appreciate that and look forward to any future visits, thanks!

"World without color" is superb!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Tim, those words should ring a bell. You have indeed a very exciting portfolio. I was struck by your excellent black and white images of flowers. But you know what was most obvious in your work. You yourself have followed the classic rules and these are evident in your best images. Were you aware of that ?Mmmm, what do I make of your comment about rules. My philosophy about rules is this. Learn the rules than go all out and break the rules. Only when you have a good understanding of what you are doing can you break the rules. Think of it this way before you can become a racing car driver you must first learn to drive the car. Cheers my friend.

Touche, kind sir! :) But one should not forsake the act nor the individuality in the pursuit of rules. The last thing I think about when taking a photo is whether or not it abides, but just the joy I feel when I push the shutter. I do thank you for for the kind remarks, and your honesty. This website suffers from a great shortage of it.

Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you for your encouraging words about my photo of my cat. Your portfolio is beautiful. I am humbled and appreciative to have received a comment from you. Thanks.

Thanks so much for coming by!

A interesting portfolio , very good shots and w/b. Sorry for my english. regards juan

Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to visit my port, take care!

Thanks Tim, for commenting on my Mt. St. Helens shot. Interesting portfolio, you have a great eye for perspective! I also love the contrast you achieve in your photos. Looking forward to seeing more! Regards, Joe

Right back at you (a little late). I hope that the dinner and leftovers and leftovers and leftovers were fantastic. Warm wishes to you and yours.

Thank you for commenting on my photo, Garden of the Gods. I took the time to look at your portfolio and was very interested in you work. Now that the new season is here I will be checking in to see what you have been up to. Thank you.

You have a marvelous portfolio! I love the variety of (not overstated) colour, and the delicately toned black-and-whites. You have a great eye for balance and composition. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Led here from your "shingles" photo in No Words today. That's a wonderful shot and I really like the rest of your portfolio too.

Thanks so much for your visit!

Thanks for visiting my portfolio! You have a superb collection of images and I'm very partial to your Lake Erie shots! Keep up the great work...I'll be back!

Regards,

Dick

It's truly a joy to see all these wonderful comments......Happy Shooting everyone!

Hey Tim, Thanks for stopping by my portfolio. Your portfolio is awesome! Unlike a lot of people, I can get into HDR if it's done right, and your's is done right! Great, great stuff.

So how did I meet the Hanson Brothers? Well, I'm a big hockey fan and huge Slap Shot fan, and well, I became their dream girl. ;-) I love stuff that's so absurd it's funny. And being the Hanson Brothers' dream girl is just about the most absurd title one could have, eh? -Maija

That's really cool! Thanks for stopping by, don't be a stranger!

Wonderful portfolio. Bravo

Tim,

Thanks for your comment on my page. In fact, I think that's about the nicest thing a photographer can say to another.

Incredible work you've got here. You seem to handle tricky lighting situations with grace, and have an amazing eye for exactly the right amount of post processing.

Keep 'em coming. Can't wait to see more.

Tim (the other one)

Thanks for that!

Tim, i really like the visual poetry you achieve through toning and your choice of subjects. thanks for your recent visit. best wishes, florian.

Thank you for your comment Dear tim and congratulation for your nice photographs. All your photos are dreamlike and has a good points of view. I wish you success too and nice to know you. Have a good time.

Thank you for your visit!

Loads of great new work, sorry I haven't been to see your portfolio for ages. You have been a busy guy since I last came to look, it all looks fantastic as per normal, well done. Best regards, Hugh Price

Thanks for all the comments and support, I really appreciate it!

I took a look at the link you provided from the hdrsite - glad I did - some great images in your portfolios. CWJ

Thanks a lot John, I'll be sure to return the favor!

Great images! I love your landscapes and black and whites. I'll be back to look again! Thank you so much for sharing your work! :)

Thanks Trisha! or is it Trisha Jean? :)

Excellent work. I was caught by "Leaf in Road" a month or more ago and recently re-discovered your portfolio. Thanks for presenting us such creative photographs! I'm going to check this site more often. Best wishes

Thanks Chris!

I just, after a very long pause, entered the forum and came here. Since I am a guy who very seldom offers compliments, I will be abrasive.

I looked through the mish mash of the images posted here and the "comments" published and will address two issues:

1. I suggests you work on well defined subject matter and prepare thematically focused portfolio. 2. For the viewers: instead of real comments (meaning critical evaluations of the photographs) we have a cornucopia of mutual compliments. Quite useless - no one learns anything from such exchange of words.
