troon8 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I don't want to come off as sounding too negative about this, so I apologize in advance if I insult anyone's photography skills... But does anyone else wish that DCI could find better pictures for the DC-Eye pages? I realize that it's a place for marchers, families, and friends to send in pics and get a hoot out of seeing them on the site, and I think it's a nice feature, but it seems like far too many of the pictures fall into the "here's me and a few friends from some different corps smiling, we all had an awesome season!" or "here's my whole section on a free day, I love these guys!" or, "here's a really cool cloud over the rehearsal field/stadium!" I'm not saying these aren't cherished memories for the ones who took them, and occasionaly there's an artistic action shot, or a picture with a really unique story, but these seem to be the exception. I know not every marcher/family member/fan is a photo pro (lord knows I'm not!) but... Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I like the section. It's a great way to share the great things about the activity to someone not in the know. How everyone is linked by surviving a season. The artistry over/off/on the field, and some of the fun things that happen on tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I like them. I've been two for two with my bucket of soda pictures. I suppose I should send in #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin2688 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 They should just feature these instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleKnights Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 They should just feature these instead. Those hills look really familiar... Bakersfield CA? Anyway. The pictures are sent in by fans and I'm certain they only pick the best ones, so the solution to improving DC-eye will be... for more people to send in more pictures!

PhantomPhan1989 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 (edited) This is really weird, I was just about to make a thread about this. The pictures lately could be loads better but they aren't, some have been phenomenal; some were overrated (like the recent one about the pink sky) Edited November 27, 2007 by PhantomPhan1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These pics are SICK (in the good sense): http://www.dci.org/news/view.cfm?news_id=9...fe-1ffed5e9c28e http://www.dci.org/news/view.cfm?news_id=1...0b-ad9b999ed573 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST_Lawson Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I know this doesn't really refer to the DC-Eye feature, but the Colts Virtual Cooktruck (http://coltscooktruck.blogspot.com/) always seems to have very good photography. The links along the right side of the page are to the various galleries by a few photographers. I like the stuff by David S. best, but they're all pretty darn good. Nearly all of the photos are of the Colts and their members, but in general, it's very good drum corps photography. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
