mcclure 0 Posted July 21, 2008 I so frequently stop by your portfolio for inspiration and muse, but it wasn't until recently that I truly began to appreciate your flower studies.I've had the opportunity to take some time and decided, instead of firing off shots at 60mph, I'd enjoy a walk in the woods and try a macro look at the world.Long ago, a prof. with girth and the bravado of a Bear, explained to me that artists love to render. The term, he explained in a Horse to Glue fashion, stems from the opportunity to change something lost into something found.From Paphiopedilum fairrieanum, to Calypso bulbosa, Phrag. Grande " Annette " HCC/AOS, Clamshell Orchid, Cypripedium acuale ( dark form ), and Cypripedium yatabeanum you've rendered a foundation for fantasy and smiles from the momentary life of Flowers.WOW!!! john macPS This was far more fun to discover...

iancoxleigh 0 Posted July 22, 2008 Gordon, since you brought up that this was a continuation of the technique you've been working on for a while, I thought I'd add that I really feel in this that it is your own. Last year with the Amanita series, I could still really see the connection with David Clapp's images. Here, I wouldn't see that connection other than because of our previous discussions. This is truly your own development and fits with your own style more fully and completely. I have a few IR images from my trip that I think you'll enjoy. But, it might be a while until I get there in my files. I took some 16 cards full of images (about 200 images each) and have only worked on one so far (which yielded some 29 images I feel are worthy of sharing from Jasper NP). Link to comment

hanna_cowpe 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Gordon, it's a pleasure to come across an image that has taken such dedication and effort to produce. In my experience, photographing a subject like this in situ may be extra demanding for one physically, but the sensual experience introduces an awareness and satisfaction that studio work never touches. I think you have captured the dof well and would have jeopardized the softness of the foreground leaves with a smaller aperture. It is the abundance of curves and monochromatic palette that contributes to the subtlety and elegance of the image. You have allowed the viewer to not only see the flower, but to experience it as well.Thankyou for sharing it. Link to comment
