This shot is okay, especially from a camera phone. Its use of subtle colors is nice and the people are not so blurry as they might be with a longer exposure. It’s a little bulgy, but I suppose if you tried to make a composite with less extension of the lens and more exposures, it might be more ’normal’. Try one with 30 exposures and since I guess you are in CS5 or 6, use the perspective control to make the angles work better.

Well, I did try to get this wrapped around a telephone pole, but CS6 couldn’t do it. Since it is still difficult to drive and shoot from a tripod at the same time, Randy is obviously a better technician and can make CS6 jump through hoops. Getting the tripod out the window whilst behind the wheel was pretty edgy.  

 

                  John Palcewski - 911, What Is Your Emergency?

Yeah, this is the kind of scene most people scurry away from. So was he dead or just attacked by aliens? Or did you not stick around to find out? I wonder what the shot would have looked like  with the camera on the ground?

                  Christopher Strevens - Spanish Beggar in London

What makes this guy Spanish and not an alien? I mean a real alien, as in from Mars? And 10p? This isn’t the 80’s any more, give the poor alien guy 50p. He probably needs new strings for that guitar and they are not gonna be bought with 10p donations.

Oh god, Santa rears his head a bit early. Nice shot, good timing, but Santa in May? Next thing I know Birthday Music will be on the box.

The Gallery needs a marketing campaign. Should we rely on Ugly Mother or Young & Beautiful?

Last week the counter read 4048 and when this collection was installed the counter read 4281

Enqueued for future installation: - no work enqueued for next week! This is an opportunity to contribute!!

To participate in this activity find instructions at: http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery-sub.html

Send your contributions early and anything you can do to prepare the photographs so they do not require additional adjustment would be much appreciated. Especially keeping them near 1000 pix in longest dimension and 200Kb in maximum size. Large images that run off the edges of average monitors are a pain. Larger is not always better!

Please take an extra minute to abide by this request but if you have doubts about how to prepare images just send them anyway and the capable gallery staff will adjust them for exhibition.

Did you know you could have a series exhibition? Check out current installation at: http://people.rit.edu/andpph/gallery-10/
