Reflections at the Grove!

Otra buena reflexion,,,,, en este caso total, elegante fotograma, grises correctos y un buen encuadre, Ah , ,,, y felicidades por Leica, un buen aparato, para hacer hasta radiografias. saludos Marco.

Menos mal que tu las ves como radiografias.!

 

Gracias como siempre, un gran placer.

Good one, Marco. The reality and the reflection merge in such a harmonious way it's hard to decide which is the real and which exists only as an image on window glass.

Your comments not only are always welcome, but from you they always motivate me to improve.

 

Than you, as always.

Me gustan tus 3 primeras leica fotos. Felicidades!! Estas 2 de reflejos las veo un pco 'empastadas', creo que todos pasamos por esto hasta lograr el tono que queremos mostrar. Creo que le falta algo de contraste. A lo mejor es ,cosa mia , pero creo que la medicion deberia haber sido la del dia al sol y no el reflejo en su punto central... osea ... con ASA 400 , F22 125 o 250 o F8 1000. La verdad no lo tengo claro... alguno espero me corrija. Feliz dia! Imanol.

Contrastada

Felicidades por tu leica y por estas primeras fotos uqe me parecen un excelente inicio leicista! muy interesante el tema de las refleciones aunque no original. Hay que mejorar un poco el contraste. Aabrazo

Another reflection of the same window at the Grove, in Los Angeles.

 

What do you think?

 

Your comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks.

You see me there ~

so, maybe I'm 'hot' in my jacket that's white!

or my features are blown, at least I'm in sight!

Through many distractions, people and places ~

things in the window or others' faces!

But here, I can see you can find me and clearly,

and I'm so Glad, 'cuz I love it dearly!

So, yes, if it's my happiness you capture,

for the day, the ray and the rapture,

oops, i am 'gidy' do you see it? it says.

just over my head it's in the air ~

so i'm glad and gidy, that you see me there.

 

Muchisimas gracias por vuestros comentarios. Imanol, a mi tambien me perecio un poco impastada y tu contraste por cierto le da un ppoco mas de caracter.

Nino, gracias por tu visita como siempre.

 

Saludos.

gidy, he saw it yes, bright eyed with wit

but mostly he just loved the way that you sit

 

 

Muy buena tambien.

Enhorabuena por el fenomenal estreno.

La verdadera protagonista al 100% que compartia pantalla con la se�ora de las gafas oscuras de la otra. Esta me parece mas interesante pues los reflejos casi anulan los elementos del escaparate.

Hi Marco,

 

If I were asked to select one photo that stands for the work you have posted here, I would pick this one. It brings together your love of reflections, Mel, and black and white photography, with a wink to each, and displays your ample playfulness (such as framing Mel at least 4X, within the lens frame, the store window frame, the bench frame, and the cell phone users' frame). And there is a great deal that guides our eyes to Mel -- the reflected stairs, the filling of the frame on the right, the framing of her between cell phone users. There's the cheerful social atmosphere, with Mel, with the people enjoying a meal in the background. And there's the intriguing torso and hands of someone close to the window --

 

It is great fun to sit in front of it and reflect on these things, it deepens the photo's meaning significantly.

 

Hope you are well. Yes, I am not around that much, but I don't intend to disappear altogether. Its too enjoyable to share such thoughts with you.

 

Take care,

 

Ben

For your kind comments and yes it is one of my favorites. I have drpped you a note, privately. I hope that all is well with you and your family.

 

As always best regards, Marco.
