OK#

I don't review much now due to popular request.
Bored!
Rain.
So here goes a brief offering ...


work now on display at  http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html
includes:

>               Les Baldwin - Bent Head
I do like this: compositionally at least.
It has suffered from PS treatment, or maybe it should have been saved
as a raw file - assuming it was saved initially as a jpeg - pray tell
;o)
The lightening in PS has given it an airy-fairy-ness but it also has
lost some detail.  Unless the detail was never there.  The lack of
squareness in a shape so square cries out for conformity to the
equilateral recatangle ...   The eye cries out to be sharper.  What
ISO?  Too high?

Still, a nice composition.



>               Laurenz Bobke - Angling
Nice picture
Beautifully captured and seen.
Imagine how much better it would have been with a digital camera
though: you could have produced 80 by 60 prints ...


>               Veli Cigirgan -
Different, but I feel photographers should not look down on thier
subjects: without them we are aimless.
The photo lacks an artist's statement: surprised unRosen didn't jump
on that, after a swift tinny ...


>               Jim Davis - Meijiros Doin' It
Good
Some crop from the bottom would present it better: say to where the
top of the twig intersects the right edge.  As it stands that bright
area below the birds is blinding.




>               Deen Hameed - I have a Dream
Weird.
Are you sure they are not in-E-briants?  Booze is so old hat ...
Why is that oik giving you the finger?
Nice though.



>               Dan Mitchell - Etienne
Why Etienne not Stephen?
Name of cafe or an attempt to achieve pomposity through the use of
French words?
French: cough.  The old enemy.  Without then the US would still be
part of the Empire ;o)
Flemishbond: so nice in brickwork.

The image appears to have suffered badly from excessively stretched
levels: huge pile up at both ends of the levels histograms.
Curves may have been abetter way to stretch the contrast?



>               Charles Siegel - France, June 2004
People who like this sort of shot will like this photo. I see only the
trainers and digital grain.  I know others will like it: it leaves me
cold.


>               Christopher Strevens - Native Briton on Reigate Hill
Nice tits.
Do you have the loincothless version at home or did your 3D program
have the nanny filter on?



>               Bob Talbot - 33 rpm
OK, no real interest.
The challenge then:
1) where is the axis of rotation (assuming that the upper left pixel
is 0,0)?
2) which direction is the turntable turning?
