Some Comments for U.
My take on the latest gallery in the World Famous Shoot-In, now under
new management. As always, take these comments with a grain of salt. you may find this hard to believe, but I have no artistic education or training. Come to think of it, I have no business offering comments at all. But, as always, I won't let that stop me. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141447562 Under the cover of darkness? Nice nocturnal street scene, but I don't get the U connection. Maybe the general shape of U formed by the sky? Unlearning the rules? http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444612 Damned fine picture of trash. Nails Ugly and nails the mandate. You can smell the garbage from here. Bonus points for including a photo that's suitable for next month's mandate, as well. I hate seagulls. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444613 Nice arrangement of Umbrellas, and thank you for not going all Rockwell on us with the saturation. I submitted a picture of Umbrellas, but mine are, well, closed. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444614 I can't figure out what that shadow is on the right side of the Umbrella. Is that coming from inside or outside? I'm guessing outside and it's an adjacent Umbrella. Nice take in the sunflower. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444616 Actually my favorite of the Umbrella series, even though I'm a dog person. Nicely done. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444617 Love the colors against the sky! And I'm glad I wasn't the only one to submit a picture of Underwear. Men's or women's? Both? http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444618 Underpass. Dark. Want more shadow detail. Maybe a little more of a crop to the Underpass, as well. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444620 Upper Duck Creek Rd. Gotcha. Nice composition, and a well hidden shooter's shadow, to boot. I like it. Where is this road? When was this taken? Looks to warm and green to be Massachusetts, that's fer sher. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444622 Umbrellas in Key West, but down due to the wind. I figured someone would send in a few Umbrella pics, so I thought I'd shoot some that were down instead of up. Plus, I liked the colors. Taken near Mallory Square. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444623 A Unicyclist performing at the sunset celebration in Mallory Sq, Key West. In this shot he was trying to catch his hat on his foot without killing himself. He missed the hat on this attempt, but did survive. This is a cropped fisheye shot, which explains the bends. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444624 Underpants. Somehow, in Key West, this all seems perfectly normal. Then again, maybe it's just a dog in baggies. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444625 OK, it's a little soft, but really, how many of you thought of shooting a pic of Udders? Bonus points for someone finally sending a pic of some big teets. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444626 Hmmm..... I had no idea these were called "U" couplings. And I can see why. I like the blue against the rusty steel. Nice colors. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444627 U for ewe. Finally, someone sends a punography entry. This U needs shearing, I believe. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141461483 Man, if this is what Diogenes looked like, the last thing he'd want to find is an honest man. Ugly, fer sher. But can we be sure this is Diogenes? Looks pretty afro to me, but what do I know? http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141461566 Damn. A Urine test for greyhounds? Really? Look, if they couldn't catch Lance, maybe they can have better succes on a few pooches. Colors are a little Rockwell, maybe a little HDR thrown in, but a very interesting shot. I had no idea. Maybe this is why dog racing is banned in Massachusetts. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141461567 I love it! Truly an uncluttered dash, but really, only 864.8 miles on a 1930 Ford Model A? I'm skeptical. Nicely done. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141461568 I was wondering if anyone would send in an Underwater photo, and here we are, sort of. But since it's the only Underwater photo, kudos. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444630 Nice colors! An Umbrella, obvously, but a nice combination of red and blue, with a nice transition between the two. Nicely lit. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444629 Another Umbrella, more good colors. The composition suits the colors; works well for me. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141444628 Utensils. I didn't think of this. You know what would have been nice? A reflection of an Umbrella in the Utensils. Did you light these three shots with strobe Umbrellas? http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141461570 Ah, the letter U, formed by a couple of boids (no idea what kind). How did you get them to pose like that? Well done! http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141494897 Another U boid! Clever, but it must have taken hours to get the boid to pose. Is it me or is this noisy for ISO 800? http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141461571 Ugly? Nah. Cool eye! But, if you look closely, there are lots of litle U's in the patterns of the skin. Well placed eye, good color. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141461657 Nice shot, but where's the U connection? I'm not very smart, so I need a bit of help. Unwound, maybe? Ah. Unassembled. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141494899 Wide load? Under load? Under stress? Unbelievably heavy? Nice shot, but what's your connection to U? Up in the air? Help me out here. |

Well done! thanks. I promised the egrets some fish if they did that. And if they didn't I told them I knew how to make Peking egret http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141494897 Another U boid! Clever, but it must have taken hours to get the boid to pose. Is it me or is this noisy for ISO 800? Some geese will do anything for a few grains of rice. http://www.pbase.com/shootin/image/141461571 Ugly? Nah. Cool eye!

He http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/62816810/1/Utes?h=450b28 For years I've been collecting sterling silver "utensils" ("flatware" to me), For the mandate. In French the word is "Ustensils" so using the English "utensils" is more common in Frenglish here in Quebec. I only call it flatware when I have to dig it out and polish it which I don't do. There is a pile of silver flatware her and it needs a lot of polishing. Maybe I'll photograph a bit of it for your opinion.) as you call them, and other sterling dinnerware items. A few years ago I started selling off my collection on eBay. I recall your very nicely done photos. They are a bitch to photograph...especially spoons. The bowl of the spoon reflects the surroundings and the camera's lens. I used a home-made light box made from a translucent lampshade with a translucent sheet of plastic over the top and a hole cut in it for the lens. It was also hard get a good image of the sterling maker's mark since the camera I had then didn't have good macro ability. Curved, reflective surfaces are always a photographic opportunity. But they do catch everything wildly outside the field and that gives more headache than opportunity in most cases. Macro lenses are a must for 'marks' and such as well as to pick up detail in the patina. -- "We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty."
