All I can say is wow. I visited Ralph Lee Hopkin’s Baja California exhibit back on October 3rd. This was my first ever visit to the Ordover Gallery and I was thoroughly impressed with the facility as well at the exhibition I saw. I am a huge huge fan of crystal clear, sharp, vividly colorful photographs, and that is exactly what I saw at this exhibition. Not only were the photographs amazing, by my definition, as far as picture quality, but the subject matter was totally intriguing. Photographs with amazingly beautiful composition of nature and great timing photographs of wildlife really hooked me on Ralph Hopkins. You see such warmth in the eyes of the wildlife, especially the whales. And from my amateur attempts at photographing wildlife, he did an amazing job. As soon as I arrived home after visiting the exhibit, I went online to find some sort of pictures I could save to my computer for later references of color and composition. These photographs reminded me a lot of Chris Mayne’s photography but in my own opinion, Ralph’s caught and kept my eye for a longer period of time. This is one of my favorites on his website, I really wish I could have seen this one in his exhibit.
