  1. I thinkI like the original due to the continuation of the staircase provides a nice graceful curve for the eye to follow and adds a little dynamism in the composition.
  2. Yes, thanks! I couldn't find it on Google for some strange reason. 🙂
  3. I was just thinking it reminds me a little of Warhohl and who was painting frames inspired from the funny papers and/or comics from roughly the same era.
  4. Maybe she should join p.net? But for me, I don't care about the quotidian lives of the Royals. Why would I?
  5. I really like this! Really pops!
  6. Hi:) Thanks so much!
  7. Thanks, yes they differ in certain ways and. some consider them similar. Thank your friend Arthur if you see him again. It's a bit rare to see a set of Small Pipes out in the wild :),
  8. Thanks Sam. I'm glad my post helped stimulate such a great response! I love the That's brilliant and rings true to me. But there's also that middle ground of someone who thinks they are writing fabulous fiction but to the rest of us seem to think is actually teen romances. This is actually where many of we photographers are here on Photo.net and I suppose other sites, somewhere in between. Some times the substance of the photo is more than the surface of the photo. Like the guy who does what I would consider soft-porn serial photos here on p.net, sort of a semi-soft porn collages that I find interesting. Have you seen those (royal you, any of you). I would like to see your comments on those. Is there something in a way he or she presents them that makes them more than just cutie nudies?
  9. Helmut Newton made sexuality and tittilation in itself a strong component in his photography depicting women as strong and often suggesting female sexual predation. Reactions to his fashion advertising photos were very different depending on the world view of the viewer, but generally were well received in Europe and particularly France and Germany but not so much by Mid-America. Both Japanese photographers Daido Moriyama and especially Arakis have stated sexuality and the erotic were essential elements of photography. Leads me to believe that attitudes toward nudity are culturally conditioned and not intrinsically true or false. Eye of the beholder? Intent of the photographer? Understanding the viewpoints of both is useful, but I think understanding where the photographer is coming from is really important when deciding about these issues. Please don't construe this to mean it's OK to share Arakis' photos of his nude and tied-up wife with your grandkids. People should be of an age when they can decide these issues for themselves. Deciding whether a photo is exploitive or not can be a very complex proposition indeed. See the photography of Robert Maplethorpe, Diane Arbus or any documentarian. In a way, every photographer is exploiting their subject in some way, but that isn't the sole criteria for deciding its value.
  10. Acts like one with regards to flash sync but it isn't actually a mechanism at all. It's not really a shutter. It electronically turns the sensor on/off no need to shut light out with shutter.
