History ( please see large)

Thanks for viewing

Thanks

Superb capture, Pnina. This scene seems to be the narration of the films history. The light and the b/w-color combination are great. Excellent work! Warm regards!

love the tones and the hues!

Pnina, you have embarked on a nostalgic journey. Is he directing a play? Composition,exposure, light and contrast are very good.I could recognize Elvis. Who is the other lady in naval costume?

I think I see a scene from "West Side Story" up on the right. The man is almost like another piece of equipment in the room, a bit less dynamic than the stars on the walls.

Excellent picture, evocative and stylish. Yes, film as such has passed away, so did video tape for the matter of fact too. Media itself changes but good works of art stay.

Regards, Tibi

Great story in. Another version if we cut the right picture ? BR Joerg

Great "motion picture shot" Pnina! I love the lighting mixing the b&w and color effects. Kind regards, Luis

Very interesting picture!

Love the light, great contrast! Very energetic scene, I love it!

Absolutely perfectly exposed and framed. It's as if all the spotlighted items were hanging in the void. I presume this is a scene from a play or dance.

Jay Maisel would be pleased, the subject providing the 'gesture' he so prizes. The 'movie' lighting is reminiscent of the 30's and 40's leaving no doubt as to who the subject is. The photo of Elvis is a nice touch and the girl, if I'm not mistaken, is Ginger Rogers, the famous dancing partner of Fred Astaire. See? I've not led a totally sheltered life! :-) Best, LM.

I like how the man is spotlit by the reflected glory of the famous around him. An interesting composition. Your dance photos make me want to move, but this one makes me want to think.

Fantastic photo. excellent composition, tones and sharpness..Regards.

A beautiful classical photograph with a real vintage feel to it. You've handled the balance of tones masterfully. I love this!

All of you! it is a part of a dance . The history of cinema dance with live modern one.

I have a series of moments , which I will upload some more later on.

 

Len I googled to know who is Jay Maisel... thanks for the name, interesting photographer.

 

Jeff, the past of the different ways of creating , is always accompanying us....;-))

 

Thanks again to all of you.

Fine work.

This portrait really portrays a man that loves and is excited about film, and the lighting really adds a brightness and life to his emotion and the importance and "Up in Lights" that old movies used to be.

I like the black and white or lack of color here that seems natural and unedited like the old film that once played.

Excellent work.

I'm back for a brief sojourn. I like this a lot. I honestly wasn't sure if the man was a mannequin or real. I thought for awhile that he was a mannequin and the entire scene was a set like a museum. But, strangely, it worked that way for me quite well. The mix of mostly monochrome with flesh tones is a nice outcome. Cheers.

Pnina, a great shot full of humor and atmosphere. Particularly strong is the lighting against the dark surround with the small areas of hard white. I can almost hear what he's saying. Very enjoyable!

Vladimir Thanks

 

Kirk, nice to see you again after a long absence, Thanks for a nice writing of your impressions, very much appreciated.

 

Dave, you as well.... Glad to see you even for a short time. I know you are busy. It is a real man ( the story teller in the dance). We are living with the beauty of the past well known musicals, and are creating the modern versions....

 

Roger, liked your last birds works. Thanks for your nice impression glad that you have enjoyed the story/history of this one.

the light, the colors, the expresssion...you caught the scene at an expressive moment Pnina...I really enjoy it...
