The PhotoForum members' gallery/exhibit space
was updated JAN 01, 2011. Authors with work now
on display at:
http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery.html
include:
Christopher Strevens - The door and the teapot
Really nice mood, especially of the desperation
and pretense that our elders (and we as well) are
often put into. I especially like the use of DOF.
Rob Miracle - A Kentucky Winter Wonderland
I don't mind HDR when it's not used to produce
blackboard-scratch-inducing sharpness. This is
quite nearly perfect.
Pau Maynes - Madonna and Child with Saint Jean
I'm afraid I don't get the Saint Jean part here.
Is the older boy supposed to be Saint Jean, or am
I missing something. To my secular eye this
looks like a pretty standard but pleasant
portrait of mother and two kids, one of whom is
getting pretty tired of this bottle routine!
Thomas B. Barker - Hundreds of Mushrooms
Hilarious! How wonderful. The perfect point of view.
Mark Harris - Snow Covered Branches
Snow. Branches. Would like some attitude, some perspective.
John Palcewski - No Pain, No Gain
Soft. I think that doesn't make sense to me.
With all the cultural history of pain in faces,
it seems this could be more effective with some
other treatment.
Rene M Hales - Trees in the trulli forest
Neat - o. Brings to mind a comment that's been
floating around in my consciousness that I
believe I got from Andy, about shooting through a
scrim of trees at an exposure time to match the
speed of the vehicle in which the camera is
riding. Very nice textures, and either luck or
good planning to have the nice strong gray tree
trunk in the foreground that way.
Emily Ferguson - Christmas lights
I was unhappy with the big dark area in the
front. And I didn't got back out to play with
all the variables when temps fell well below 10°
after this. But I did sample the colors and make
a holiday message in a nice ample sans serif font
in the big dark area. Sent the file off the
Winkflash and got next year's cards printed up!
Don Roberts - Trunk and Leaves
I wish the color of the red leaves were more in
line with my experience of red leaves. There's
something off about it. And it would have been
nice if that fence hadn't been there.
Yoram Gelman - Garage Shadows II
I like the composition and the mystery but the
image needs something to make it different from
so many others.
Did you send your contribution in for the gallery yet this evening?
