Re: PF exhibit 06-28-08 Jim Snarski - The Dive
Good drama, interesting location, good photo ! David Small - Red And green NYC This doesn't work for me. Dan Mitchell - Down to a Sunless Sea Under exposed a little ? I suggest cropping 2" from the left . Guy Glorieux - Inside Monopoli Gallery (Montreal) Very interesting ! Please tell us how you did it ? My only complain is about the cropped big black rectangle in the right, It would be better to crop it out. Emily L. Ferguson - Duck and Goose Good photo, good for children !, interesting colors. Don Roberts - Loco Loco Too dark on my screen, almost only the flashed grass on the foreground is visible. Marilyn Dalrymple - The Jar I don't familiar with the Cyanotype thechnic but I like this outcome. Michael Hughes The statue's body is too dark. The lighting pole look like it is held by the left man (Pen ? ) Thanks to all the contributors. Pini |

Re: PF exhibit 06-28-08 Jim Snarski - The Dive
You were at the right place at the right time. In a perfect world there would be a little more detail of the bird's feathers visible and the buildings are just a hair crooked, but I like it. David Small - Red And green NYC Good minimal composition (well, maybe a little more on top and less sidewalk?), love the textures and colors, and the artistic iron work. Dan Mitchell - Down to a Sunless Sea Good lines (no pun intended), a little dreary which could be subtly changed in Photoshop. Guy Glorieux - Inside Monopoli Gallery I just love the way you do this. The odd shape makes my eyes dance all around this image lead by the lines in the ceiling. Beautiful! Emily L. Ferguson - Duck and Goose What a nice catch... I just love the expression of the little yellow duck, a wonderful little actress, who is really into her role. Glad you explained what's going on so we understand her (and your) art. Don Roberts - Loco Loco ... or loco ocol :) I like mirrored images and the creature-like images we perceive in them. Cool with all the iron of the locomotive. Marilyn Dalrymple - The Jar Beautiful and artistic image with a fine composition. Michael Hughes I am not really happy with the lighting, since it leaves the main part of the statue too dark and the sky blown out in some areas. Best to take two pix one for the sunny side and the sky and one for the dark parts of the statue and put them together with Photoshop. Or you can adjust the two parts now individually with a mask. All around good photographs! And thanks for putting up the gallery. Renate |

Re: PF exhibit 06-28-08Strange, it looks just fine on my screen when I open it in Preview. I checked the Gallery and noticed it was a lot darker. I worked on it to get the brightness and contrast down a little! Usually what I send looks good on my screen and in the gallery. Just a quirk this time, I assume. The profile is not chosen but is evidently a default in this case. Anyway, if you have any interest in the photo, drag it onto your desktop and change it a bit. You should at least get the impression from that. Don

RE: PF exhibit 06-28-08:>
:> The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated June 28 2008. :> Authors :> with work now on display at: http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery.html :> include: :> :> Jim Snarski - The Dive [Chris:] This is a wonderful action shot and it has a really great backdrop. :> David Small - Red and Green NYC [Chris:] The image was nicely seen. I like it. :> Dan Mitchell - Down to a Sunless Sea [Chris:] I like the sense of desolation this image brings, a lonely kite flyer on a deserted and cold beach with an off shore wind. :> Guy Glorieux - Inside Monopoli Gallery (Montreal) [Chris:] I like the abstract art form it makes even with people in the scene. It does not look real; a sort of dream pattern is evoked. :> Emily L. Ferguson - Duck and Goose [Chris:] How lovely and the innocence of a child. :> Don Roberts - Loco Loco [Chris:] I cannot make it out, is it taken from the front or the side. :> Marilyn Dalrymple - The Jar [Chris:] Yes a real cyanotype it is ethereal in its quality; an art form rather than a record photograph. :> Michael Hughes [Chris:] The potato famine was brought on by English bad management and the insistence by the Brits on capitalism to solve the problem. They had food but they refused to give it out as charity. They did the same in India. Capitalism kills. What will happen as the oil runs out? There is no new world to run too. We will die until a sustainable population is achieved. [Chris:] Chris. |

Re: PF exhibit 06-28-08Thanks for the comments on my picture,
Actually, I've been creating these pictures for the past couple of years and I'm now working on a book. I normally start with a package of well over 80 pictures (10Mg each), shot hand-held from roughly the same center-of-rotation, sometimes shot on different days or at different hours of the day. The angle-of-view can exceed 180-degrees in all directions. I feed these pictures to a stitching program and remove individual pictures one-by-one until I get an image that is the best representation of the mood of the scene I wanted to capture. This can be a pretty lengthy process, with a lot of back-and-forth, and the sequence for removing individual components is not neutral to the look of the final image. In fact, you need to have a pretty good ex-ante view of what the final image will look like to keep you on track. It's a bit like when you're burning and dodging in the darkroom... I never use a tripod because I want to build a certain amount of softness and/or continuity-breaks in the final image. Much of this work is urban landscape and I've posted some occasionnally on the PF gallery. I also work with small groups of people and the process can lead to very intimate group scenes since the pictures are shot over a period of time. This provides a lot more visual material to combine into a single group image than 1/4000th second with flash... -:) Regards, Guy 2008/6/28 <PhotoRoy6@...>:
