mike werkhoven 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Merci hans, just an fly in the outer right bottem corner would make it unbeleveble. Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted October 1, 2004 Hay Linda thanks for the happy commend and the understood symbolics. Link to comment
colin carron 58,916 Posted October 2, 2004 Nature takes a few million years to arrive at the seagull and the human race takes a few hundred years (say from Leonardo) working out how to do it and another hundred to zooming all those people about in an aluminium tube. Scary! Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted October 3, 2004 We might be happy Leonardo did not go for the crocodile, we might ended up in swamping instead of flying. Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted October 3, 2004 Thanks for flying by ;) Did today see a special on Bjork, beatyfull experimental and creative pop artist from your Iceland. Enjoyed this special much. Link to comment
peter_daalder 0 Posted October 6, 2004 This is a very nice capture indeed, Mike. About the only thing that I would have done different is to take about 15% off the top - just a little too much blue sky for my taste. However, that doesn't diminish the impact of the two 'competing' elements in this image. My vote goes to the seagull. Man-made flying machines are exactly that. You can 'compete' with nature, but never equal the incredible intricacies that exist in most creatures. Food for thought... Thank you! Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Thank you for reacting on the formal and content of the question ( the Photo). I agree nature keeps us busy and is source of inspiration, but equaling it is just a strive. About the composition. I made the choice, to be the left corner accactly the point of intersection if you lengthen the diagonal of the plane. That makes the space above the plane. I could cut space by reducing the space on the left side and continue the diagonal idea than I can cut space above, but a feel that flying objects love space, I be kind to the objects ;~} Link to comment
baldurbirgis 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Very Nice to hear. She is a Great Artist. Regards, Baldur Link to comment
peter_daalder 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Mike, I appreciate your explanation about the point of intersection and the fact that flying objects need room to move. My interpretation probably came about due to the direction both the plane and the gull are heading in - i.e. away from the top half of this image... Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted October 7, 2004 Thanks for your the thoughts, in a way photography leaves me always with compromises, it hardly ever fits completely, hermetic. Well, keeps us sharp and interactif ;) Link to comment
atkphotoworks 0 Posted August 14, 2005 Hi Mike. Long time no see. Nature v. machine or just co-existing perhaps. By the way, I have stopped using those ugly frames you used to complain about in my work. Link to comment
mike werkhoven 0 Posted August 14, 2005 Nice you are passing by, I am not to much on PN anymore. But still making a lot of photo`s. Link to comment
kyle_cassidy 0 Posted August 15, 2005 good catch. i think it could be fixed up in photoshop for a little better color rendition. Link to comment
