LenMarriott 9 Posted July 7, 2011 I just couldn't resist the reflections presented to me here. Thanks for taking the time to comment. It's much appreciated. Best, LM. Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted July 8, 2011 You have a good eye catching the abstract reflections off the tile in this underpass. The contrast with the scene in the daylight is very effective. Link to comment
museebfoto 2 Posted July 8, 2011 Hi LenUnrepeatable symmetry by its reflection and composition. The presence of people in the right remote make a realistic sense in the capture. Best regards Link to comment
amalsircar 2 Posted July 8, 2011 Len, very good composition and control of light and exposure. The reflection of light on the tiles, enhances the beauty of the image. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted July 8, 2011 Many thanks for your thoughts. The reflections, of course, were the initial attraction for me here. I remember exposing for the sunlight and adding a half stop to garner a tad more detail in the darker areas. I'm pleased with the result. Best, LM. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted July 8, 2011 Almost missed you & Museeb there. Upon leaving the main building for the gardens this scene was presented to me on a silver platter. What else was I to do? Thanks for your validation & comments. Best LM. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted July 8, 2011 I agree with your comment on the symmetry. This is one time I think a centered subject works well. The people do add a dynamic to an otherwise relatively static scene though I'll also add that due to the popularity of these gardens getting a scene without people in it would probably be more of a challenge. Your views are always appreciated. Thanks for your thoughts. Best, LM. Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted July 10, 2011 What I like in this one is the DOF which is soo large, The play of light and shadows is creating a nice triangle, despite the central composition.The symmetry is a bit "broken"by the human figures,( good thing)well done Len. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted July 10, 2011 With a 50mm @ f11 the DOF is certainly adequate. I think the actual point of focus was on the edge at the end of the tunnel. Never thought about the triangular light patter except perhaps subconsciously. The people play a minor but, thinking of the scene without them now, essential part in providing a bit of life to the scene. Sort of a leaven, if you wish to compare it to rising bread dough. :-) Best, LM. Link to comment
Vlado 0 Posted July 12, 2011 You are a wizard of reflections. It's remarkable how that gleaming frame of tiles masks and softens harshly lit background - works better than HDR! Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted July 12, 2011 Good of you to stop by. This one IS about reflections. No shiny tiles, no photo. One time the harsh light of mid day aided in making a decent photo. Best, LM. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted July 17, 2011 Thanks for stopping by. Always appreciated. Best, LM. Link to comment
steveshinn 0 Posted July 18, 2011 I love the light work and the composition. Having the people at the right spot sets it off perfectly. Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted July 19, 2011 Thanks for happening by and for your encouraging comment. The people were just passing through. Luck is good. Best, LM. Link to comment
myattphotoandfotoart39 1 Posted August 4, 2011 Looking at the thumbnail (that is before I opened the photo) I thought this was a forumla 1 race car. I honestly did. Rorschach test maybe? Link to comment
LenMarriott 9 Posted August 4, 2011 You have a vivid imagination! But, looking at the thumbnail, I have to agree. The two planters at the end of the tunnel become the tires and the pyramid shaped building in the background becomes the cockpit. Thanks for your most welcome visit. Best, LM. Link to comment
