Red Line 4249

From my Red Line series.

Thanks for commenting and rating my night photo. I'm glad I followed your link and found my way to your portfolio and this particular composite. Somehow the thumbnail reminded of photographs by John Pfahl and I love this because this could be a non-composite as well. Don't get me wrong: I might be purist but I acknowledge the art & crafts required to work on composites as such and enjoy them when done with certain care and talent. I love the strict dot line of the berries along the playful curls of the ribbon on the bed of moss. Nothing over-kill, over-the-top here, something to suit my taste inside this genre. I'd love to see more of this series, Julie please?

Markku,

 

Your night picture was (is!) excellent. And thank you for your kind remarks on this picture (and I don't mind 'purist' reservations about composites).

 

The Red Line series is quite extensive. You can find all of them at http://www.unrealnature.com/redline_thumbs.htm . I had a lot of fun with the intentionally absurd idea of imposing geometry (the rigid straight line with perfect spacing) onto nature.

I do appreciate you responsing to my comment. Especially the link to your gallery much appreciated. Your way to create series is excellent and I look forward to browse through it later. You might find my personal home page of interest as it contains some graphic design: http://koti.welho.com/msalon19/salonen.html .

 

I'm not totally purist as photographer though, imagine I sold my film gear back in '85 and just last year re-entered photography, so no wonder I stay on the basics still but already now I have this gut feeling, one day I could enter the fascinating world of composites. So, stay tuned - and all the best pixels to you in 2008! ;-)
