Chuck Turner Photography

tank for your onesty :) i like much of your pic!

Very interesting and rich portfolio. Beautiful photos. Keep posting.

A master at capturing light and shadow. That IS what photography is all about, is it not? Your port was a joy to view. Thanks, d.d.

Hi Chuck,Thanks for your comment on my photo Through The Looking Glass.It looked playful to me and I'm happy someone got my intent. Your portfolio is unique. Regards Denise.

Chuck, Thanks for your comment on the tough guy. I really like your surreal photos!

Nice portfolio very diversified. thanks for the comment on my picture keep up the great work! Wade Rose

My overall impression of your work so far is good, and you show promise. You have a good eye and are able to isolate your subject well. There were two images in particular that caught my eye and demonstrate my point. The first is found in your #2 set, 3rd row, 2nd column, this image is dramatic and symbolic, and invites the viewers eye to see beyond the first layer and reach into the light. The second image is found in your Strawflower set, on the far left hand side, it is striking and carries enough impact to hold the attention of the viewer.

It appears to me that you like experimenting with symbolic imagery while employing variations of conventional composition techniques. This is not a bad thing. I have no doubt that over time you will define your personal style even better and maybe move into more images of people. I mention this since in the few images I saw a spark.

Very interesting portfolio! Every photo have a particular use of color and angulation, and on singol meaning...beautiful

Thanks for your comments. Most of the blues you see that look oversaturated, you would have had to have been there. They were at high altitudes, and the sky is much deeper blue there (less air, less pollution). The two lakes I photographed were very deep which again brought about the deep blue while reflecting the sky. You can see the same thing in some of the shots where the water looks gold from the reflection of the rocks. There was some saturation added, but not much different from what I saw. Probably still a little over done, but I was going for that postcard look. Thanks again for your comments. I'm six months into my very first camera and I'm having so much fun. Eventually we get over a new toy and start using it properly.... but that's in the future I guess. Thanks again and an exellent portfolio. Bring us more!!!

Here's the pic as it came out of the camera before cropping and saturation and such. Plus the link to the final version. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=4731265 Not that much different. Still didn't catch really being there. Isn't Arizona supposed to be a desert??? Not Here.

Your pictures are a form of beautiful art. Pleasure to watch your pictures. I do hope you will comment/rate my pictures

Good portfolio with some excellent piece in b&w.

Very nice portfolio. Colorful.

Hi Chuck :)
I've enjoyed your portfolio, I like its variety and color!
kind regards...

Wonderful Portfolio that shows great range. Thank you. John Math

Really a great gallery. I enjoyed looking at it a lot. Great work...

Your photo in the critique forum brought me here, thankfully. A great portfolio with exceptional variety and quality. You should definitely post more and I wlll be waiting.

thanks for your comment in my portfolio!...You have great works! I like your portfolio too.

Excellent style.

Thanx for your comment ;) Nice gallery you have ... I liked your B&W album more

best wishes

Wow, what a diverse body of work! I like the b&w's the best. Thanks for your suggestion, I do actually have a much closer shot. Unfortunately for me I'm still working with my old junker and the lens is about as big around as the tip of an index finger so I would have lost much, if not all, of the composition if I'd gotten any closer. But that barn will be around for a long time so one day....

Great Portfolio, by the way :) Love the old house and trucks!

I love your work ! Congratulations

Very nice portfolio Chuck in a vaiety of ways, thanks for sharing

You master of colors .... bravos..... great and colored folio

Great portfolio Chuck!! Love your use of color and the perspective you take in many of your shots. I look forward to returning and finding more wonderful images.....congrats......LJ

I feel that we've crossed paths somewhere along the way...but forgive me, I can't recall where. After critiquing your most recent submission I began to browse through your portfolio and was simply wowed! I either offer praise when it is deserved...or just don't say anyting, so understand that I am putting you in my top ten list of most interesting photographers on site. Look forward to many trips to your portfolio. best regards, john

After a brief look at your portfolio I am hooked, and will be back for a leisurely stroll ( no time today! ). Wonderful work.

hey, thanks for taking the time to play with my photo - I like the 'drama tweak'.

nice portfolio by the way.

sam

It enchants your portafolio to me, your style is very original, I like much the tonality that gives to the photos with metal like for example those of car or musical instruments.

thanks for the idea, knocked my portfolio down to about 53 to start with, will go through and pick the best ones to add to it...

love your work

tony

Thanks for the plug-in information, I have try it and it's worked. You have great portfolio, I love your low speed photo. It's excellent!

WOW! You have a talent for taking ordinary scenes and images and making them extraordinary with fantastic angles and colour...very eye-catching. Cheers from Canada, Lori

terrific minds eye, Chuck!

You have the two basic requirements for creating a image down well, they being composition and light, your use of color is pretty nice also. Enjoyed your work, shall return. Well done!!

Pretty nice patent portfolio I really like when somebody has got an own style my best wishes to you:Daniel

from Hungary

Wonderful portfolio full of very beautiful images

Respecfully, Carlos

You have so much great shots in here. Have to come back again with a better time. Best regards Tero.

Chuck, these are absolutely wonderful photographs! Masterful and exuberant!

superb portfolio

Thanks for your comment. I like your portfolio, it is very interesting and you have a great eye for composition. Look forward to more pics and comments from you.

Wow! One of your images in the critique forum brought me here and I'm glad it did. I truly love your work. You have a great eye for composition. Your images seem to have a fantastical feel to them, it's amazing. Bravo!

Chuck, thanks for commenting on my image. I agreed with part of what you said and made a change. I finally got around to visiting your portfolio and am very impressed with your creativity and plethora of varying images. The corn stuff is presented like I've never seen corn before and everything from your classic car shots to your image alterations is very humbling but motivating.

Thank you, Kirk

This is good stuff!

I like the way you see things and have taken the road less traveled to capture the other side of the traditional shot. It is a bit like riding a train. They always go a different way and to a different side of town than the roads and freeways. You see different things back on that side.

Keep it up!

I like the way you see light and use it to capture form and drama.

Beautiful portfolio Chuck, strong composition and colors thoughout .. inspiring.

Interesting and nice portfolio, my compliments.

Compliments on a dedicated and artistic effort.

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

These are surely some outstanding photos. I like the angles you use. I think you make some of these subjects just a little more interesting by the angles you choose to shoot them from.

I'm surprised by the creativity of your portfolio... Bravo:-))

Hi Chuck,

You have a very good portfolio, with amazing shots and great digital alterations.

Keep sharing your work with us. Congratulations ;-)

Chuck,your portfolio is amazing! I love photographing cars, and they way in which you do tours is stunning. I wish I could take such beautiful shots. If you have time, stop by and view mine. Thanks again...I always view your work, it's amazing.

Your portfolio is amazing and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures.

I am not competent yet to give a critique to some maestro like you but I give one and simple comment on yours portfolio wonderful photos.

Enjoyed your portfolio, especially the Bar. You have a nice collection, thank you for sharing :)

I like your style. Your shadow/light interplay is very well done. You have a hint of darkness to all your photos that really draw you in. Well done

Like your diverse portfolio that is well done and presented. Like your images of the old trucks, by coincidence before I go to your portfolio I was thinking about an image I have of an old pickup I should be working on. Take care.

Thank you chuck for your comment to "Heut' ist nicht mein Tag". It was my first try in digital alteration. And it was funny. Your gallery is fantastic! Especial your "old, rusty cars" are great. best wishes J�rgen

Thank You for taking the time to rate my picture (It takes two). You profile is excellent. Keep up the good work. Please if you have the time take a look at some of my other photo?s and let me know what you think.

Thanks Again ?Tom

You have some unusual subjects and you have done a nice job of composition to make them very effective.

I like your being hungry for what's around us, the click in your head.., next the preparing and making WE want to eat!

Thankk you for sharing your images. The ones of the air craft were special. Keep up and bring in more. Very good throughout.

DonM

yes, i like a lot what you make me see... congrats !

Thanks for your comments on one of my last posting. Congratulations for your beautiful portifolio. Regards, Chico do Vale.

An amazing array of images. I really enjoyed viewing your work!

First and for all, thank you for your visit and kind comment on my portofolio which in fact gave me the opportunity to discover your works. I follow your postings to the 'critique forum' since quite a while - and generally speaking, they always attract my attention. I now took a good look at your exhibition and want to summarize in one sentence: It's impossible to favoritize the one or other work because every individual folder has extraordinary content and is a true representative for the artistic variety in your works.I can only congratulate - this is a high class exhibition of moods, colors and sceneries. See you around, Chuck, with best regards, El

Very nice portfolio. Truly an inspiration with all kind of great subjects. Congratulations. Alex

Thank your for your improvement proposal on my recent submission. Indeed, your sky adjustment makes the picture 'brighter' - which in fact I wanted to avoid, because for my interpretation I needed a more 'dull' sky. However, I am not very familiar with post-processing - maybe I use the wrong programme and in addition,I am still in a learning curve. I appreciate your constructive criticism and wonder if I could fall back on you with questions on processing because the images in your folders are the measure of quality I intend to achieve in future. Thanks again, Chuck and best regards, El

Amazing aesthetic perception, congrats...

I have browsed with great interest and pleasure your portfolio where I have found some very good shots made by an intelligent photographer. I thank you for sharing these beauties and for another particular reason: almost one year ago, it was august the 4th 2007, you were the first non anonymous rater to note, rate and comment one of my photos (that blurry "hat"): thank you, ciao, Giuseppe

I like your Things with Wheels set. Junked cars are fertile material for good photos. Many people use them poorly, but you've done a nice job. In what part of the country are you finding these beauties?

You have a diversified portfolio with nice shots, nice colors and great B&W photos, congratulations ! Alex.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY 2009. ciao Bevip

Hi Chuck. First, I wanted to comment, some of your images. Then, I went over your portfolio, image after images, a good one our, and decided, to leave a comment on you portfolio instead of some of the images. You has an incredible portfolio, fantastic images, . . . . images with a story to tell, most of them. The barn, rusty cars, factories etc., etc., etc, . . . all of them master pieces. Congratulation for your work. Bravo.
