Grounded, Flight

The small view, the personal perspective on the world, a shared intimacy, and a little vulnerability is what you teach me here. Do not be afraid to share that type of view or make collections of them. They comprise our world, after all.

Symmetry, subtle light, and midtones are what I learn about from your photo. To put them all together and produce an enjoyable viewing experience is what you did. I will have to try something out with these elements.

Undiluted fun, enjoyment, freedom of viewer and subjects, that is a moment to capture and share and you have succeeded. Capture the moment is what I learn from you. Seize the Day!

Road to Ruin

You remind me that tranquility allows the viewer into the frame for a gentle amble. Gentle visual seduction that one can return to. I learn that the natural view - something which has good associations for me - is one that sometimes does not need much in the way of processing help to work. (I see a few bands of posterization in the sky which might have come about by levels adjustment or by noise reduction).

I learn that there are ways of making an image with certain associations iconic in nature by the way one processes or develops it. The divine light, the vanishing perspective, the metaphor of dark clouds all add meaning and I will have to learn how to use those effects in my own work.

Afternoon Light

You remind me that photos which imitate poster-like qualities are attractive. I learn from you that the backlit silhouette and the diffused view, like the low DPI printing of posters when one views them close up, are assets to be exploited by the artist and photographer.

Week 6

Comment:
Positioning within a frame, separation of subject from non-subject, is what I think and learn about from your photo. You also remind me that the rhythmic repetitions of objects (such as the machine heads) can be useful in composition.

Week 5 - Cartesia

Comment:
What I learn from your photo is about giving the subject dignity, yet sharing that intimate, private moment with the viewer. Not always an easy composition to do. But you did and I learned.

Sometimes photography is all about lack of light and the quality of darkness. In a friend's used bookstore in Brooklyn recently, he showed me a prized photography book ($200 out of print) in which the artist had taken many photos of the Arctic Sea - all of which were very close on being totally black. Just the merest small areas of sea or ice or... were lit. The paper the book was printed on was perfect for such images. They stayed in the mind, barely. I the viewer looked harder. I think I glimpsed something apart from the photos. Your photo reminds me of that enlightenment. The quality of the darkness is beautiful, as is its shape and the subject in the light. I was commenting on these bw images and came to yours about a week ago and it stopped me in my tracks. I know I appreciated it but I had to think on it a while.... now I can get on to the many other images submitted. I will have to pay you tuition in beer sometime, someplace ;-)

Fog Fishin'

Photographing morning mist and fog is a funny old thing, is it not? Reproducing the beauty that is evident first had and making it the same or better with a digital camera is not so easy. Back lighting with the sun as it comes over a hill works well. But if there is no sun one has to work on the moody feeling of low light.

One thing I notice with this image is - if you take a close look - the processing you used has left circles along the top part. Perhaps you were using burn in Photoshop and instead of running along the entire section you stopped and clicked. I think you need to remove those circles since they are a dead give away.
