dk. 0 Posted March 26, 2005 This Picture reminds me of a seen in The Lord of the Rings movies. All 3 pictures that you have are very nice and interesting and unique. Well done. DK. Link to comment
pulok 1 Posted March 26, 2005 Excellent! I also feel like as David Koens have mentioned, it reminds The Lord of the Rings - I. Link to comment
rod_melotte 0 Posted March 26, 2005 I REALLY like this photo - well done. The best fire photo I have seen yet!!! Link to comment
paula grenside 0 Posted March 27, 2005 Light and shapes make this mysterious and almost scary. Very good. Link to comment
PeterKrenek 26 Posted March 27, 2005 Excellent shot. I tried something similar, with considerably less success... From the series I like most the "Heat Sink" shot. How long was your exposure ? Best regards, Peter Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2005 Thnk you so very much for pausing, looking and commenting. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2005 Yes, as I have mentioned in the detail section of this image, I've used Tamron 180 mm macro. The camera was about 6' away from the fire. Thank you for stopping bye. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2005 You have reflected my exact thoughts on this image. I find some thoughts and character portrayal in the remaining part of the burnt and dismembered log as it observes the melt down and fading away of it's member, in the dimming light! Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2005 Yes, Stepping back and looking at the image, I can see him standing at the ledge, with the light and fire spewing behind him, holding the ring saying 'the ring is mine." Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2005 Great photo. I too thought of Lord of the rings when i first saw this. :) Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 27, 2005 Thank you Marty for your input. I should have flipped the image horizontally to reflect more the shooting angle of the scene. Peter, here' the shooting Data for Heat Sink image, I should have put them in the data field: ISO 100, F 22, exposure 1/1.5 sec, Compensation -.5 EV with spot metering. Thanks again. Link to comment
mmmee 0 Posted March 28, 2005 You asked me to comment on your replies to this one of the series. Now that you know that I am female you may understand my not commenting directly to the obvious 'member' connotations in the image. So, without pussyfooting around the question, I will say that I don't see the 'fade away' part of it. It appears to me to be a very hot phallic image in the abstract. Not fading away at all. My reluctance to speak about this factor in no way diminishes the impact of the execution and portrayal of passion, rather graphically, too, in the abstract. The technical aspects are faultless. Slow shutter speed, slow film and small aperature and focal length suitable to the macro lense. My technical terms are sadly lacking, but that is the way I describe them in my mind. I don't know what a faster film may have done to this. more blur perhaps? and ruined it entirely. Just wondering. :)) It seems to me you have captured the fire perfectly as you have done it here. I have read the Lord of the Rings at least 4 times, and can see the connections there too. The longer I look at this the more things I see in it. Link to comment
the lone ranger 0 Posted March 28, 2005 very exotic image, but im puzzled by what it is? Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 28, 2005 Wow! Talking about a dirty mind!! :) Now that you have mentioned it, have to admit, I see things.... I am pleased to see this image means different things to different people. Kind regards. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted March 28, 2005 What a pleasant surprise and a privilege to see you stop by. I guess it means slightly different things to different friends, if you read the feed backs. It's a macro shot of a broken off, burnt off twig from somewhere inside of the fire. The part in the foreground is the twig sort of outside of the heart of the fire and the part with the light shining on it from below is the part of the twig that has been severed and burning off. Kind regards. Link to comment
maryam_khalili 0 Posted March 29, 2005 Hi, I think that I can touch warmth. I have a project with the same subject, so I say it's excellent! (impressionante) & thanks for your comment. Good luck Link to comment
PeterKrenek 26 Posted March 29, 2005 Cyrus, thank you for your explanation. I am glad the exposure was so short, in my attempt at shooting fire, I used 20 seconds. The speed of the smoke and flames is probably quite high to account for diffuse effect seen in your exposure. Best regards. Peter Link to comment
