john_lawrence4 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Excellent images, and although I'm not normally a fan of slideshow presentations (I've slept through far too many at work), this works very, very well. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_leong_lee Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I don't understand. Other than the processing, which gives it an old look (like a 19th century photo that survived to today), what makes the photos distinctive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_lawrence4 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what works for one person may not work for another. If there were a set format for images (or people) then it would be a pretty boring world! Maybe they work for me because I like the graphic elements in them or maybe because I've never been to Singapore? I just know I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_ilomaki7 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Travis Great work, specially the one with the lady's back in shadow but with the flower patterns visible on her back. The faces of the old men are hauntingly evocative. The images bring back memories, mostly happy, of the years I spent in Singapore. I also liked the off-level horizons, which some would consider poison, but you have then beautifully balanced. Thanks and Cheers Lah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebell Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Sorry, couldn't sit through the slideshow due to the terrible music which I couldn't stop.... Music is a real dislike of mine on websites, especially when I cannot stop it. I am not the only one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebell Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Nice shots of the ones I did see before the blood pressure reached boiling point, very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_elder1 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 For those who don't like the sound track, try the mute function on your computer. Nice work Travis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent_peri Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 "For those who don't like the sound track, try the mute function on your computer." I listen to internet radio all day. I don't want to turn it off. I hate websites with music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael s. Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Very good, Travis. There are a few shots near the middle (starting @ approx 1:24) that are standouts, and @ 00:23 that's quite a photo. Music a problem for some ? Try setting volume all the way down ---> no sound.

frank_page Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Some nice shots combined with the post processing. I've spent some time in Singapore and really appreciate the different perspective. For me, Singapore is anything but black and white and gritty - I find it too clean and boring... But that is what is fun about photography - seeing how each of us deal differently with the same topic. Nice slide show. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhooru Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Dig it Travis. I've come so full circle on your work, luv the processing, duo tone ++++?? For me the music suits the dream like impact of the set..can always turn it down if you don't like it...really enjoying these as you produce them.

travis1 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 thx! a variety of cameras were used. I cannot remember which is which. I composed the music myself. On hindsight, i think the drumbeat was unnecessary.;) Thx for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebell Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Travis, you say you composed the music yourself. I think you have demonstrated that you should rather stick with what you're good at, photography... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
