arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Echo Allen Herberts comment, JdM. Bit grainy, but evocative. Good shot, and a brilliant call to billblackwellphotography's excellent photo. I found it instructive to attend to the tonal differences.

Uhooru Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 JDm, really like the warm tonal quality. Here's mine, coming down the trail from the ruins of the "White City " on Echo Mountain above Altadena, CA. San Gabriel Mountains. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 And I should add, Allen Herbert, tell us about that shot. Where was it done? If only the little girl was at the start of the frame - most people scan from right to left. But I'm quibbling, well done. It's good, very good. I haven't been able to photograph this week - doing my pretend study routine, and will for the next few months.

If only the little girl was at the start of the frame - most people scan from right to left" Arthur. It was a candid photo, Arthur. Most candid photos, particularly of people and events are subject to a composition which in a sense is allowed.. By allowed I mean a candid photographer does not set the scene of the photograph they interact with it. A choice of composition is limited; the composition is mostly chosen by the subject matter/events and the input of the photographer is merely a observer. "most people scan from right to left" Arthur." True, but let us not be limited to a singular view of a photograph otherwise we will be creating a rule book for all to follow. The majority of greats had a tendency to throw rule books into the mud only deemed worthy of something to tread on.

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Rick_van_Nooij, that's a good shot. I have not asked you where you do this photography. And why. Let me know. Got to say, again, that is a good shot. I may have asked you before, and you may have answered, and told me. Point taken, and taken well, Allen Herbert. My quibbling does not detract from your good shot. Bravo. I've called on Martin Heidegger's ideas of language calling before. Those ideas can be extended to other forms of representation. Your image does call, as many other viewers note and appreciate. And I got it wrong, anglo's scan from left to right. You should have pulled me up on that, Allen Herbert. I have not been able to photograph this week. Study intrudes, and overwhelms, at times. Got to say, Stric, you are blessed with a 'model'. Great shot.

Rick_van_Nooij Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 This particular photo was taken at the John S. Thompson Bridge near the city of Grave in the Netherlands during the annual "The Battle for the 11th Bridge" living history event. The event commemorates Operation Market Garden in September 1944 when elements of the 82nd US Airborne Division took the bridge. http://www.flibweb.nl/flibweb/cpg154/albums/userpics/10001/MG180904.jpg Same event, same setup, yet in color. I need to clean the haze out of that Elmar someday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, you see your chance and take it. Photography is like that. Well chastised. And I got it wrong, anglos scan from left to right. It's semitic readers, I think, do it from right to left. A poster here may correct me, and to be honest, I would enjoy correction about that. Regards, Arthur (apiarist1). I haven't photographed this week.

Allen Herbert Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 "My quibbling" Arthur Best part of any chat is the quibble. Makes you think. Having not yet sat on the " font of all knowledge" I can only gain knowledge from the quibble. Long may you quibble, Arthur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Herbert Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Wonder what you study and why, Arthur I have a thing about History particularly Ancient History. I read books, watch History channels, and won the school History prize when I was of the little folk. Wonder why folk have those motivations.

arthur_mcculloch2 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Allen Herbert. Thank you for asking. I miss 'moving on's images. I think we may have hurt or offended him. I miss him. If you are there, moving on, keep posting. Why study. I have studied since I left high school. To your question about motivation: when do we stop searching for knowledge. I have one subject to do to finish my post grad diploma in theology. The subject is koine greek. It's a challenge. I'm old. Allen Herbert, my memory is shot. Thank you and regards. I hope to post images soon. Allen Herbert, you have been a steady voice on this site. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
