Funny me... instead of being inspired to review when there are few
reviews, now I feel tempted after a record number of reviews and
opinions...

The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated AUG 27
2005. Authors
with work now on display at http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/
gallery.html include:
Lea Murphy - Lauren Murphy off to college
An excellent portrait, very relaxed and natural looking, as well as
technically competent.
Emily L. Ferguson - Yesterday we went fishing
Yum, yum, I love fish (on my plate, that is). Well arranged, well
lit. If underexposed, I cannot see it; the tonality of the fish
looks exactly right, and that makes the boat details fall where they
do (around Zone VI for the followers of St. Ansel). Except by
elaborate lighting, there´s no way to make the boat brighter without
losing detail in the fish (at the time of exposure, that is;
Photoshop could do it).
Qkano - Caz
I´ve got grandchildren; I feel at home with this one. No terror (as
someone suggested), just surprise.
Renate Volz - After the Rain
Very beautiful, nice abstraction. If there are bugs, I can´t see
them, and I don´t care. This is not a documentary. Do visit Renate
´s site!
Sue Butler -
Lots of action, a bit grayish (B/W conversion is an art). Lighting
doesn´t help either.
Dan Cardish -
Entering the bee´s nest now, it seems... It is BEAUTIFUL! Lovely
light, lovely model. The pose looks quite natural and un-self-
conscious to my none too innocent eyes; anyone with good knees might
squat like that to look at something. The fecally oriented
associations seem quite far-fetched (as members with more personal
expertise have claimed in more detail). Forget it!
Per Ofverbeck - Gingko Leaves
Thanks for the kind comments! This one is growing in our garden (a
small one, about 4 years old now), just shot from above, with open
soil below. I think I did remove a few twigs with the clone brush,
but I´m not sure (and too lazy to dig the original out).
Judy Curiel - Passion Flower
Beautiful flowers, usually shot smack-on. This one is from another
angle; nice. Personally, I would desaturate the two small green
stems at left; they draw my eye away.
Elson T. Elizaga - Newlyweds
Funny shot. And that´s about it.
Tim Holmes - Global Flyer
Looks like a toy with nothing to show the scale of it. Must have
been exciting to see it, but otherwise just a record shot.
Bob Sull - Who called this meeting?
Well, this kind of shot just HAS to be sharp, unless there is a very
special kind of artistic intent. These flowers are bee magnets,
however: just keep on shooting! I owned the same lens; it is quite
up to the task.
Steve Shapiro - Leica B
What we call a rim-set Compur Leica over here, with a black VIDOM
beside it. Never seen one in the flesh, obviously; didn´t know there
were only two left... Like the previous image, I would have said it
HAD to be sharp (after all, they´re LEICAS!). Only, in this case I
feel the artistic intent is there; the image has a dream-like quality
that i like a lot.
