Loneliness and Two Street Lamps

Thank you for your comments, critiques and suggestions. G.

Wonderful capture and right mood and great toning!

if you do not mind I took away the white tree branch above his head and lighted his face by 1/3 stop. What dou you think?

If you mind i shall take away my comment / regards Janis

thank you for the comments that are most welcome and thank you for your post-production work that shows your usual good eye and taste. No, I never delete comments, critiques and suggestions : they make me happy because they show - also if they are negative - a personal effort devoted to the growth of a colleague. The only thing I'd like to delete are those 3/3 without a single word; I really hate them. So, thank you very very much. Giuseppe

 

Very nice Giuseppe!!! Regards and All the best.

Nice! Regards...

Fine street piece again. Have to ask, are these ever planned or just "moment" shots? Asking cause i am interested of this style but never tried it myself. Best rgs Tero.

first of all thank you for your comments and the beautiful abstracts you make. And now let me try to answer your question. I rarely plan a street shot, and usually things go in the following way: I spot a movement, one particular face or "mood" and instantly I get the camera [that I had already set in manual or Shutter priority mode] and shot. I ever shot two or three photographs, not bracketing, but anyway in a very fast sequence trying to change quickly the Point of View and Depth of Field. There is also one "philosophical" or "narrative" process occurring in almost the same moment I spot the scene, and it's like a sudden burst of images, recollections of memories, feelings that merge in one undifferentiated mental image or - I dare say - brain-painting[let's say this in a Saussurian way: th鯲ie du signe comme association par l'esprit d'un signifiant (image mentale, visuelle ou acoustique d'un mot) et d'un signifi頨concept, c'est-୤ire repr鳥ntation mentale d'une chose). Ferdinand de Saussure - Cours de linguistique g鮩rale (1916)]. And that's all. Please Tero, excuse me if I have been too verbose but I think this is the best part of this site, the rare, beautiful moments in which other friends stimulate you to better understand yourself and your artistic (or technical) consciousness. Thank you. Giuseppe.

Youre werent too verbose at all, i just had to read it few times so i could understood everything from there :) the quota part i didnt get but i will find some traslateing tools to figure it out :) Thanks for eplaining the method because now i think i have a better view how these happens. Best rgs Tero.

of the citation: theory of sign as (generated by the) association made by the "spirit" of a signifier (or we could call it mental, visual or acoustic image of a word) and a signified (concept), as to say the mental representation of one thing.

 

Now i can only say that i like this kind of thinking... for what i understood it. Language barrier holds me back often but i try to keep up with the rest of folks here.
