i’ve never been into nudes photos but i really like the camera/blonde photo

I’m not sure what I mean, tbh. Examples. 1. I don’t think adding symbols to an existing list of symbols changes things in a complex way- eg 2+2+2 isn’t more complex than 2+2 it’s just longer (a different shape?) 2. Adding a word to a sentence can change the length and meaning as in he is a good man => he is a good man not which suggests a complex change To me, adding more light is an example of 1 but adding blue to red is more like example 2, I think, but am not sure ;-)
-
I don’t see the former as being more complex but your comment about adding blue to red has got me thinking.
-
The only thing i can think of that changes light in a complex way is a black hole.
-
No, think about your music example. If the tuba player plays a really loud note. he might drown out the piccolo but he won’t change the sound of it. If you add light to a scene, all you do is change what’s being lit and you don’t change the existing light. That’s what i mean by interaction, I think.
-
Fred, I think all you are describing are the simple, additive properties of light.
-
Fred, thanks for the link. Thinking aloud, again, I don’t think lighting more subjects in a scene makes the lighting complex as it’s just a collection of simply lit objects. I think complex lighting only exists when the light from one subject interacts with the light from another possibly due to one subject being more reflective than another. As I say, just a thought.

Happy Fathers' Day to All the Fathers Here.

that’s a very cool photo Sandy. -
I can’t get past the sexual element of this photo. Sorry. (consensual sex between adults)
-
Is there anything other than simple lighting given that a subject is either lit, partially lit or not lit? (I’m referring to light that is under our control not, for example, street lighting)
-
Yeh, and the world viewed through rose tinted glasses looky rosy.

i have one leg significantly shorter than the other and so, for me, slightly tilted images are perfectly natural. of course, in the early days, because of peer pressure, i would correct this in post but now it doesn’t bother me. i am free from all that.

a culinary piece of art this week. the following is fillet steak on a bed of cornflakes with a side dish of chillies, slugs and green things. needless to say, this wasn’t what i thought i was ordering but my korean is poor. iphone X
-
I ought to add that I want to view photography this way- I want the abstract definitions to sit alongside/compliment the art.
-
Fair enough Fred and I agree wholeheartedly with your second statement but I’m also happy to view B&W and colour as being related to one another and the structure of that relationship (additive/subtractive) is down to the photographer/viewer.
-
A bit OT, but I’d never thought of colour photography like that. To me, colour is the norm and B&W is a reduced form.

What is it exactly about the Pentax K1000?

all this talk of typefaces is gonna give me a fontal lobotomy :-) -
I had a M8 once but, unfortunately, we fell out. Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha
-
Too right, Fred. Photos that matter matter :-)
-
…the crowd. Best stay far from it.
-
This site is dead, Fred, so suggesting admin and co should be spending all their time here and not having a little R&R elsewhere is a little disingenuous, imho, fwiw, tgif.
-
Maybe they have better things to do with their lives as I imagine running this site to be a nightmare.
-
As well as explaining to Tim why activity dwindled, it is relevant because it shows people left for reasons that weren’t related to features. The POTW and the Photo Critique stuff, for example, were still as functional but much less well supported.
-
Around 2006, the original owner returned and took umbrage with the way Brian had been running the site and sacked him and tried to make PN more like amazon and as a result a load of active (arty) people left for flickr & elsewhere.
