Robert G. Earnest -
One of the most interesting things I've found shooting at this time
of day is the things I have to do in my image processor to compensate
for the distortions the light gathering device inserts. The human
eye does not see the fluorescent magenta/purple and orange here and,
for myself, I adjust my image to bring it closer to what I believe I
saw; what most other people usually see. So to me this image isn't
very attractive, and based on my personal criteria, isn't well
processed. On the other hand, the car's interior light does some
very interesting things with revealing the person and the telescope
on the tripod and to me is quite effective in the image.
Marilyn Dalrymple - Paint Splatter
I'm not finding much here to exercise my imagination - possibly
because I am by nature too literal minded for that sort of thing!
John Palcewski - The Today Show
Very interesting clothing colors, and lots to study to determine the
light sources and ways in which the light interacts with skin,
clothing and hair. However, if the caption is supposed to insinuate
that the ladies are negatively agitated about the subject, I'm
missing that part.
Bob McCulloch - 2
Commonplace theme covered endlessly, especially in Maine. Not the
photographer's fault, but there is a claustrophobic effect due to the
constraints on the space in which the buoys are hung. It seems
aggravated by the absence of any image data outside the window and
doorway casings. Perhaps cropping a clapboard or one-and-a-half
clapboards off the top would alleviate that.
Mario Filipe Pires - Into the light
interesting effect - push the contrast and then pretend you've got a
platinum print. There is something so overwhelming about the light
that it contradicts the conventional understanding of "getting
something out into the light of day" or "shining a bright light on
something" which are common parlance is likely to assume from the
title. But I do kind of like the texture and the space seems well
used to me. The edge effect is OK too, reminiscent of one of the
sun-sensitive papers we played with as children.
Dan Mitchell - Arches
Yes, there are arches, but the crispness of the building we see thru
one of them is so situated as to steal all the attention from the
arches.
Howard Leigh - Mannequin
Our store window mannequins date our businesses. Just putting a
jeans jacket on her doesn't make her a 21st C mannequin. One must
also not straighten her hair! As for the reflection? Perhaps she
would look more real without it, but that does not improve the image
for my taste.
Art Faul - Bomber Command 22 Missions, B-52G
The options for arranging the myriad possible contents in this sort
of situation often leave me with 40 shots and none of them quite
right. In a way the most interesting thing here, to me, is the way
in which huge sheets of relatively thin steel take on the dimples and
creases of paper. I would like to see more of that here to balance
the sharpness of the stencilled numbers, letters, shiny rivets and
interesting extrusions.
Interesting collection of images here this week. I hope some of us
have some for next week.
Enqueued for future installation: Strevens, Gelman
