john_r._fulton_jr. Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 This forum never fails to amuse me. Yesterday some photographer posted pictures of a minor automobile accident and everybody jumped down his throat for the horrible scene that he'd photographed and his insensitivity. It was in a public place. No big deal. Who cares? Now today we get more "butt" shots. That's okay, too, as far as I'm concerned. No moral outrage today. This forum never fails to amuse me.

michael s. Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 The lonely duck (ahem, barely visible) swimming in the distance in my version has just e-mailed me asking that I post an objection to Paul's crop. Just doing what I'm told... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutz Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I think the subtle line between humour an voyeurism lies in composition...<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_neuthaler Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Never pay attention to ducks -- particularly lonely ones. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael s. Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Yes, Lutz -- you're right. Had I known how to do what you just did, I'd have attempted it. If I might ask: How'd you do that ? thanks - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas k. Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 These photos offend me because they are boring, not because they feature ass cleavage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutz Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Michael, I moved about three feet to the left. ;-) Seriously, that's a very simple PS cut-and-paste job, given the completely undistorted horizontal and vertical lines in your first shot. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutz Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hmm, this version here better respects the reflections...<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_neuthaler Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I agree re: importance of composition to separate Art from mere Voyeurism: in fact, if you focus on my cropped version of Michael's photo, you will see how the woman's arms create a sculpture that makes the crack in her ass a small aside.

douglas k. Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 ...And with Paul's last post, this officially becomes the "Childish Thread of the Week" on the Leica Forum. Funny how a bunch of codgers become little boys when they get together to wank on their cameras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
