pnital 36 Posted May 28, 2008 Another scene of the Chelm stories..... here Thanks, I hope you will enjoy this one as well. Actor:Andras Mark Link to comment
gordonjb 10,860 Posted May 28, 2008 Interesting lighting coming from the bulbous sphere which is his belly :-) The effect with his hands disappearing inside his ' belly ' and then appearing as shadows is very strange and a bit unnerving. Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted May 28, 2008 Perfect exposure under challenging lighting conditions results in a wonderfully enchanting picture. Link to comment
Donna Stavis 0 Posted May 29, 2008 What's not fair is not telling us the story of this one!!! It's quite wonderful, with clues in the big ball of his belly, including a church steeple...hmmm...for an Eastern European Jew from Chelm, I wonder what this means. The hands remind me of when people make shadow images of animals talking to one another... on the wall. Do you know that game? Anyway, great lighting and capture of expression. You had to be having fun doing this because it looks like a labor of love Link to comment
amalsircar 2 Posted May 29, 2008 Amazing control of exposure & light and shadow play,Pnina. Original and interesting image. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted May 29, 2008 Joao, thanks for stopping by and your nice comment. Gord, thanks, the idea in this play, is to take the scene to the most skued edge of humour. It is funny till tears.... ;-)) Jack,as I wrote before, it was a trial and error to find the right way for better results. Thanks a lot. Donna, not each scene is according to a story, some of them are paraphrases. This is one about the same story of Chelms seeing the moon reflected in a well and decide to keep it for darker nights. What you think is a cross is a corked bottle....It is also my own interpretation of the title following the scene's humour. Thinh, thanks Amal, I'm glad you enjoy it.Thanks as well. Link to comment

adan1 0 Posted May 29, 2008 Fascinating series Pnina. I love how you captured these silly characters with such charm and details. His belly must be quite aching. I wonder what the doctor would prescribe. Link to comment

jeffl7 0 Posted May 30, 2008 This performance must be a sight to behold. The lighting is amazing. Link to comment
bosshogg 4 Posted May 30, 2008 I'm quite fond of the surreal nature of this image. Those shadows are powerful and the contrast between the highlights and the man in background is most dramatic. A very high impact image in my book. Cheers my dear. Link to comment
dseltzer 0 Posted May 30, 2008 ... fellow who had the teapot on his head for thinking, and the wonderful "What?" expression. Having seen the others, I'm guessing he was incredulously asking, "What?" when someone suggested he put the moon in his belly. This is another great expression... looks to me like, "I can't believe I ate the whole thing." I expect it was not easy to achieve a good white balance and facial tones, given the very off-white light in his belly. And it's equally impressive that you've captured his face with so much detail without the light of his belly being over exposed. A wonderful piece, Pnina. Link to comment
chens 0 Posted May 31, 2008 about this picture i especially like the shadoes of the belly. it gives me many spaces of imagination. very abstract for me. excellent. regards. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted May 31, 2008 All of you, for your feedback , It is much appreciated ! Jeff, I think you would have enjoyed it... very special interpretation, as choreography work, and I addmy interpretation as well Dave, the whole play is sureal in its choreography. I'm glad you liked it. David,It is not the same actor( of "what?" ) his name is Andras Mark.( the other is Japanese and his name is Takanuri Kavaharda) I have a very good angle in this small teatre, I work without a tripode, as they move on the stage and I have to work fast.

hiroya 0 Posted May 31, 2008 Very allegorical image about relation between a person and the world. Link to comment
tonmestrom 4 Posted June 2, 2008 You got everything out of it that was there to be gotten. The way you did this makes this look somewhat as figurative art. Link to comment
