The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space was updated OCT 13 2007. Authors
with work now on display at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html include:
Roy Miller - Doc Watson
If that's a recent image, it sure is nice to see that Doc is so well.
He's really getting on in years now.
But the image appears to not be sharp, and I suspect Doc moves his
whole body when he's playing so a faster exposure time probably would
have solved the sharpness problem, as well as throwing the people
behind the stage further out of focus.
Rene M Hales - Horse Dreaming
Charming, but I'm not sure the IR makes much of a difference to me in
terms of emotional impact.
D.L. Shipman - Looking out my back door
Shrubbery and weeds are very hard to photograph, I find. Tiny
detailed subjects like that need some kind of treatment but I'm not
sure precisely work. Autumn is when I come back to that problem and
try, again, to figure it out. There is always some sweetness to this
sort of effort - trying to say something about the familiar and
pleasing. As with the horse I'm not sure the IR treatment adds
anything to the situation, at least not for me.
Robert Read -
This is really hard. The kids adlib responses are precious and could
consume many frames. Keeping others out of the line of sight when
one of them does something particularly winning is even more
difficult. Then there are the bubbles which cry out for a slower
exposure time to convey some of their movement and flying about.
This shot starts to try to figure out how to deal. But I think it
needs more time and effort - mostly so you can wait until the perfect
shot comes around.
Christopher Strevens - Blue Ball
Interesting shot, Chris. I kinda like the echo of the platters in
the marble shape, and it's interesting that you contrast the round
with the square.
Linda Buttstead - Braidentown Train Depot
I'm overwhelmed by the low angle, the building is extremely
dominating and makes me feel very small.
Marilyn Dalrymple -
eerie - the branch looked like a thigh bone to me before I even read
your description. The world is very strange, isn't it?
Emily L. Ferguson - Guardian Fence
Just for Chris - interesting that you've never seen corn growing. I
know it's not as common in Europe as it is here, and perhaps that's
the reason you don't recognize it. The orange things are pumpkins, a
kind of squash which the Euro-Americans encountered from the native
peoples on this continent.
Very interesting gallery. I'm looking forward to next week's.
Please contribute.
My thanks to those who have and to our Andy, who takes such good care of us.
