The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated JAN 27 2006. Authors
with work now on display at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html include:
Jim Davis - Lake Dawn
Interesting tree. Makes it really hard to see whether there's
actually a lake. Hmm.
D.L. Shipman -
A GBH? Looks very oversharpened. Hard to get all those components
right, the greenery is too much in the DOF. Risk a shallower DOF the
next time.
Howard Leigh -
Well, I think it would have been nice to go all the way with the
sunstar, shut the lens down as far as it goes, and face tripod land.
Then despeckle when you process in PS to smooth out the grain even
more. And dodge the memorial matter at the foot so a little more of
it can be identified in the shadow.
Steve Hodges - Country farm
Hmm. Would have liked a face, a bunch of burning over by the horse
and cart and the foreground sharp. Better to have the background
unsharp than the foreground every time. And pop some flash on that
guy so he's not so dark. And wait for him to get his head out of the
trees, too.
Pini Vollach - Jaffa
Don't care for tripod at all. One has to look too hard at the orange
matter to see what it is. Since it was put there, i.e. set up, it
might have been nice to arrange the pieces so they looked more like
themselves. And to wait for the tripod to leave. I do like the
orange against the monochrome, however.
Trevor Cunningham - trepidation
I'm so sorry. Can't we leave creatures like that alone? Maybe we
should put our small pesky children in banboo cages too....
Jim Snarski - Jack O'Lantern
Wow. Weird. Yes, it does look like some nudibranches I've seen in
my day. Those things are so repulsively interesting! I'd like to
see you do a study of 8 images of that. The point blank "here's a
fungus" perspective leaves a lot to be desired.
Emily L. Ferguson - winter experiment season
Must pot up that other amaryllis tomorrow.
Greg Fraser - Greenhouse in Snow
Whose house?
From: Portia and the PF Exhibits staff
Our eternal thanks.
