Fantastic, if slightly creepy at the same time. :)



How's it creepy?


I imagine that, if I were a child that young (I'm guessing the kid is pretty 
little), in an empty space that large, I would at some point start to feel 
very much alone and scared.  Now, I figure there were adults nearby when the 
photo was taken, but from what is shown, the scene seems eerily empty except 
for the kid.


So, it feels a little frightening to my inner child, I guess.  Perhaps 
creepy was the wrong word.

Hi Godfrey: The composition of the iris blossoms & the light is really great 
here, but I find the background a little distracting--I think it upstages 
the lovely elegance you've captured in the iris blossoms. Still, a great

Didn't know you were a Hiroshige fan, Bob. One of the very nice ladies  
who lets us borrow her quilts for our annual quilt shows has a couple  
of what appear to be relatively early Hiroshige prints she purchased  
in Japan after the Big War. I was over at her house about a month ago,  
and we went so far as to take them down from the wall so we could  
examine them more closely.


It was great fun, and at one point she said she might give me one, but  
she is quite elderly and somewhat forgetful/scattered at times, and  
I'd hate to think I was taking advantage of her.


Still...

I've found a couple of her works online. In this one, you can see some  
Hiroshige influence:

Lens identification

[Subash]

hi,

i need help to identify a lens i bought some time back. it's 24mm/f.28
lens and goes by the name "Fotomat Series 35 MC". doesn't have an "A"
setting and looks to be made of metal though it doesn't have the solid
feel of the 'K' lenses.

googled a bit and found similar lenses on ebay for the olympus mount.
but these don't give any idea of where or when they were made.

also found out that fotomat was a chain of 1-day development photo
kiosks in the US in the 1980s which was subsequently taken over by
konica. but nowhere any mention of them having made lenses.

got the lens very cheap, so there was no logical reason not to buy it.
so would appreciate any info you may have.

thanks and regards, subash

Bob,

I've visited these galleries several times now, looking at them  
different orders, and I've come to the conclusion that because of  
this, your bandwidth usage is probably up. You're welcome.


Now, about the gallery/sequence, I just don't get along with your lead  
photo as a lead photo. While I understand the idea of the establishing  
shot, I don't feel this is a strong enough image for the subject  
introduction. I prefer image #13  in the original Tanneries gallery as  
the lead-in, both for its wider view and its stronger composition.


The next shot brings us into the action. I would like to see a little  
more pop in it, but I also see the charm of the limited range.


Number three is a corker of a shot. Are you trying to establish a  
process illustration through this gallery (this happens, then this  
happens, then they eat, then they load the donkey), and if so, is this  
in its proper place?


The fourth image, I feel, is the weaker of the bunch. I could see  
replacing it with the first image in the Tanneries group, which is a  
=very= good photo, the boy assuming a pose that is at once  
contemporary and almost Renaissance. I am put in mind of Botticelli.  
Not anything specific of his, mind you, just in the way the hands are  
held, and the head tilted reverently, surrounded by the arch.


Next we have the requisite NatGeo red shirt guys, and they are better  
served by the other grouping of them, number 31 in the Tanneries  
gallery. I'm a big fan of the "triangle up" composition, and the light  
appears a touch better.


No arguments with the next two photos, though putting them together  
might detract, as they seem to my eye to be very similar shots. The  
second, with the yellow, is the stronger of the two.


The guy in the short doorway should maybe lead to an interior shot,  
like #29 in Tanneries.


The last photo in the gallery is a good one, but I do agree something  
stronger is necessary. #35 or #36 are good possibles.


Finishing with the ass's ass, while funny, might be a little egregious.

Hope this helps. Feel free to shout me down or ignore me, but whatever  
you decide, best of luck in your pursuit.


Doug

Re: Fez - candidate essay for the RPS. Opinions please.

[Stan Halpin]

I went back and looked at the whole set in that first edit.

For what it is worth, I would still end with #7 from the reduced set.  
Number 8 and 9 I would delete. In their place I would use 9299-213 in  
position #7 and A039901 in #8 position.


Oh, and I would choose -171 vs. -174 for the second position.

The two others that really caught my eye were 9299-132 and -142.

Back in the day, when I would occasionally do slide shows (as in,  
light shining through transparency film, focused by a lens onto a  
white screen) for climbing clubs, cycling clubs, church groups,  
family and/or friends, I would vary the pace considerably from image  
to image and section to section. Some shots deserve examination,  
maybe discussion. Others are better placed in a linear virtual  
montage (i.e., 1.0-1.5 secs per image). As I have been working on  
book layouts, I find that I have been varying the "pace" through  
sizing and positioning the images. As I understand what you are  
doing, with a metronomic delivery of images, it is much more  
challenging as each image needs to stand on its own as well as  
fitting in with the whole.

PESO 2008 - 153 - GDG

[Godfrey DiGiorgi]

Back to the present (or near present...) ...

This one is from the "Crypt Church" in Gloucester, which I visited  
with my friend Richard Day when visiting in September. We stumbled  
into it and shot for a while, were supposed to be back the next day  
when I could have a tripod along with me, etc etc ... but the docent  
didn't show up and open the church the next day and the opportunity  
was lost. Oh well. At least I got a few good exposures hand-held when  
we did gain access

Comments and critique always appreciated.

(And yes: I have to find out the correct name for the church ... )

enjoy

Re: Peso Fall colours

[Ken Waller]

Dave Brooks asked -

When you mention crop the tree line on the RHS of this one, do you
feel the fisherman is out of place here, or do you think a tighter
crop to him would be better.


I mentioned the RHS tree line as a reference as to how far down to do a 
horizontal crop.

And I wouldn't change to a tighter crop on the fisherman.

Thanks Ken. I'll try some crops and see how they look.

When you mention crop the tree line on the RHS of this one, do you
feel the fisherman is out of place here, or do you think a tighter

Thanks for all the comments thus far.

Thanks Ann. It's one of about 30 photos I made that day; I hadn't  
printed this particular one before. Several of them are of a similar  
theme, of course, but each has its particular difference. I'm now  
working on a folio set, or maybe two, culled further from this group.

Backing up with out a spotter

[David J Brooks]

Well, after 3 attempts at getting a Maxtor 4 lite to format on the
ibook, i gave up. (My other two Maxtors worked/work well though.)

I bought a 160 Gig Seagate today, and it formatted fine, so the double
back up is now on, and i can, hopefully, safely remove my oddles of
photos and get some space back.

Two external HD's and DVD's, so hopefully one of these survives. :-)

Those are nice guitars if you don't mind the neck. I've been spoiled

Yeah, I should probably bump up the contrast a bit.  Repeated viewings

That's all there is to it.

And your subject matter - the grittiness of the industrial landscape.

When I was shooting with my LX and still travelling to places where I

excellent LX metre do it for me...  I did some night stuff I was happy

I can count on my fingers the night shots I took that I liked.  Not my

I did use one night shot back in the 1980's as the post card for one of 
my shows -  It's on
line but it is a low res scan and pretty awful - I wouldn't point it out 
here.  


You really ought to try it some day, Ann. With the usual festivities
ahead, have a go at the illuminations on your Main Street. You'll be
surprising us with your very own night-shot Xmas card in no time.

But, seriously,  just to address the nighttime aspect  and the physical, 
I can't carry a tripod at all anymore,my eyes are extremely sensitive to 
glare so even being out at night is uncomfortable... I can  look 
comfortably at photos such as yours to see that kind of scene - couldn't 
look at it
in real life without  considerable discomfort.  My old eyes can't shift 
from dark to light easily...


As to the giggles "Main street" doesn't really exist in the middle of 
New York City.
I've made Xmas cards that are comical - but  only for commercial 
purposes these days .   Very rarely I might send someone a New Year's 
Card who sent me a holiday card of one kind or another and I never see 
in person anymore.  And they guys know I'm an atheist , too :-)

G'day All,

Here's a panorama I just put together taken last year at GFM (~210kb)



K10D, DA 16-45mm f4 @ 16mm, 1/250 @ f8, ISO 100. 4 frames stitched
using PTGui. Tweaked in PS CS3 & LR.

This was taken on the Friday when Cory took me up to the bridge for
the first time. I dare say he was responsible for helping pop my GFM
cherry :-)


What a great shot! I keep telling people that the trick to good shots at 
GFM is being there when the light is right and this photo really shows 
that. I love how you've left the foreground looking dark and brooding. 
Most people probably would have brightened it up and, I think, lost the 
emotion in this shot. The highest compliment I can pay is that I've kept 
coming back to this photo repeatedly all day. Fantastic.

 Hand a wonderful weekend. Weather was fabtabulous, but the colours a

 I'll be doing a Geso soon, but here are two to get going.

 As the river enters the lake, it flows under this old wooden train

Thanks Ken. I'll try some crops and see how they look.

When you mention crop the tree line on the RHS of this one, do you
feel the fisherman is out of place here, or do you think a tighter
crop to him would be better.

Actually, Jack, they were trying on hats at a little outdoor shopping
area at Toronto's Harbourfront.  They were all looking into the mirror
at the same time when they started laughing and I just happened to be
there and caught it.  So, yes, they were mugging, but at themselves.

Thanks to you and Paul for your nice words.

OT: An exercise in visual literacy

So, instead of grinding my fingers to the bone working today I spent
an inordinate amount of time browsing the internet looking for work by
one of my favourite artists, Hiroshige.

In the course of my labours I came across this, which you might find
an interesting diversion, if you have a full in-tray that you can't be
arsed to deal with:

RE: Fez - candidate essay for the RPS. Opinions please.

[Bob W]

Incidentally, I've booked myself onto a workshop on the 26th of this
month to review this essay and get feedback before submitting it later
this year or early next for assessment for the distinction. 

Interestingly the workshop is looking not just at Travel but also at
Visual Art. I don't know what Visual Art is, so I thought I'd better
check. According to the RPS "The Visual Art Group was founded in
January 1921 "to foster the interest and advancement in all matters
relating to Pictorial Photography". ".

Apart from the pioneers such as Stieglitz and Emerson, whom I admire
tremendously, I have always tried to steer clear of pictorial
photography, so it should make for an interesting day. The RPS Visual
Art Group has a website:

and veggies are a big one.

Nice shot, Rick!

I can't help you much with order or culling, I just wanted to say that
this is a wonderful series of photos.  I don't envy you in trying to
hone it down to 6 to 8 photos...

RE: Fez - candidate essay for the RPS. Opinions please.

[Bob W]

I agree - I think a portrait of one of the workers would be very
effective as a clincher for the tanneries shots. Unfortunately I
haven't got one - I wasn't shooting to a plan, so I never thought of
it. I lie awake at night kicking myself for not getting a portrait of
a knackered-looking worker, but we live and learn. I will continue the
search for a clincher though.

Thanks for your comments - very helpful. And the flattery too :o)

Gorgeous photo!  I've certainly been on that very bridge to view that
very scene, but I've not photographed it that well.

Too bad about your comment wrt Cory and the cherry-popping.  I think
I'll now have to gouge my eyes out.  I doubt, however, that will
affect my photography too much...

I've been pondering about that.  I considered a square crop too.  Maybe I

A stirling memorial, Subash.

One would think that the granite could have been more carefully

I was moved by the story of your father, and have a pleasant mental

it came across.


A generation from now that skill will all but be lost as Morse Code

Re: PESO: Empire into nation

[Bob Sullivan]

I think NATION is a perfectly appropriate change, but revisions can
get troubling.

At services this Yom Kipur, half the congregation had newly revised
prayer books,
and half had the older copies.  The Reform Judaism governing body decided that
the prayers should be gender neutral, so all references to God as
Father, Lord, King, etc.
were expunged.  Half the congregation was reading 'O Lord', the other
half reading
'O sovereign one'.  Sometimes you ought to just let the metafors stand.

Dragged myself out of bed Sunday morning to go downtown and photograph
some runners at the marathon.
Weather was good and the experience was pleasant.
Here is a photo overview of what I saw.

Re: Chicago Marathon

[Bob Sullivan]

Christine,
You should check next year.
They went up LaSalle St. to North Ave, then along the park and
Sheridan Rd. to Foster.
They came back down Broadway, Clark, and Sedgwick before coming down Wells.
The locations just off of Ontario give me some options.
You can cover milepost ~3 until the traffic gets really heavy,
then shift 1 block west and get mile 12.
Next year I'll have to add milepost 20 or something.
Regards,  Bob S.

Re: Peso Fall colours

[Ken Waller]

Dave, again I don't see a reason to include the blank sky in this image. A 
crop along the tree line at the RH side will improve this one too ... IMHO.

Hi Gang.

Hand a wonderful weekend. Weather was fabtabulous, but the colours a
bit flat. Not a lot of red this year, yet.

I'll be doing a Geso soon, but here are two to get going.

Taken from the flood back, looking at the main part of the Madawaska 
river.

As the river enters the lake, it flows under this old wooden train
tressel. I thought the fisherman adds to this one.

D200 and 18-70 in Vivid mode. LR 2 adjusts.

Thanks Dave,

Re: Fez - candidate essay for the RPS. Opinions please.

[Bob Sullivan]

Bob,
All the Fez photos are very accomplished and the series are interesting.
I think the problem with the clincher is not having a very close photo.
Perhaps some link of portrait would be too cliche, but I yearn for a
closer contact.
Of course, this is not so easy to get...
Thanks for posting these.  I always learn by watching what you're doing.
Regards,  Bob S.
