[SI] - Entrances & Exits - my comments
McLoed - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061878 Brings a different interpretation to 'exit' with the principle subjects going their seperate ways - one somewhat involuntarily. Shot focuses on the subject and includes other spectators looking on with varying degrees of low key emotion. Funny in the way the cowboy has landed and the horse seems to be adding a "good riddance" buck to his departure... Jim Kramer - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061915 "'Come into my parlor', said the spider to the fly." is the entrance theme to this shot. The use of the flash to brighten up the web lines is well done. Perspective and depth is a bit confusing. Bob Hickey - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061916 Shot appears low contrast despite the B&W sytyle that would usually result in a high contrast shot. I assume that Bob is having some trouble with the scanner, his monitor or something. The framing of the shot is good with the exception of the railing in front that detracts from the overall image. This image contains entrances/exits in the foreground, the building and the bridge tower... so an overachiever of sorts. I would have preferred higher contrast/sharper image. Ken Nadvornick - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061917 The overal clutter of this shot detracts from the theme objective a little bit. We do see it of course (we're looking for it), but the shot seems more about tacky decorating than anything else... contrast is very good as evidenced in the various hubcap detail. Mike Henley - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061918 This shot is taken with an unsettling tilt of the camera that makes one peer at it to get oriented. Meets the mandate and results in an image that draws the eye around. Eric Quesnel-Williams - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061919 I was about to make sneering comments about vignetting until I noticed the equiment used. Leave it to Eric to experiment with a Holga while submitting to the SI. The E&E mandate is not well met as the lock doors are a bit lost in the BG ... and the perspecitve lines draw our eye to the various people and the bridge in the far BG. Kudos for equipment type used! Bret Douglas - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061920 A pretty low key shot for Mr. Fabulous. Good theme interpretation. Rich Pos - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061921 Very pleasing flat on perspective shot relieved by the expansive of red paint and open area on the left. Motjaba Talaian - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061922 Vignetting, tilted, slow shutter speed and unfocused are the technical dismerits. The girl's posture and inquisitive gaze are good points that would have been enhanced by a tighter cropping of the image ... OTOH this wider view enhances her smallness in a big person's world. It is clear that she has some relationship to the entrance of the building. Chibitul - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061923 One of my favourites in this shootin for a different interpretation of what can enter and exit what. You've got air (cooling), interfaces and the speaker, even an "ESC"ape key. Cropping the upper 5% to cut out the dark triangle would have been favourable to the image I think. Alan Browne - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061924 My son is challenged at the gate to Louisbourg (Cape Breton). Not knowing the password, but being a French speaker, he was treated to a history lesson from the guard. Even the many clues dropped by the guard were not enough and my son was conditionally admitted as "Etranger". I was admitted as "Ami" knowing that Louis XV's mother was Marie and that Montreal was then called "Ville Marie". Vic Mason - http://www.pbase.com/image/32066974 Regarding the mandate I'm a bit fuzzy on this ones relationship to entrances and exits. Whites are blown out (shoot flowers in open shade). Brian Baird - http://www.pbase.com/image/32076418 Good figure study. Amiguity regarding entrance or exit, and perhaps a bit fo humor if that is the bathroom beyond? Al Denelsbeck - http://www.pbase.com/image/32110577 Unusual moon sequence. Nice try. Lot's of time on your hands Al? Technically demanding shot, I'll guess lunar-11 and down a couple stops near the horizon. For the mandate a bit ambiguous. If more shots appear, I'll add comments later.

Thanks Alan... I'm gonna use your excellent reviews to piggyback my comments... McLoed - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061878 I hope that guy didn't injure his back. it's a good image, but i don't why it doesn't excite me that much. Maybe it's just too good, you know, like, somewhat banal; what you would expect a well-taken sports/action shot to look like. Or maybe there are too many things that could distract. I tried a different crop keeping the same 8x10, maybe it'd please me morer, maybe not. http://img20.exs.cx/img20/7651/32061...McLeodvert.jpg The vertical crop could probably heighten the fall aspect. The red banner on the right is too distracting. the face of the horse is somewhat unnecessary, and in fact, losing it leaves us just with the menacing hoofs and leaves the image of its face and intentions up to our imagination, and so is (unnecessary) the guy in the yellow jacket who seems totally removed from what's happening. The fact that both parts of the horse and rider are cropped out of the image increases the feeling of physical nearness and hence danger. But then, maybe not. Not sure. Jim Kramer - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061915 Nice shot. More like enter but never exit again if you were a bug. Depth of field is problematic here. It's difficult to tell what the prime thing here, the web? the spider? the spider looks a little too small in the image. Some parts of the web are out of focus. strangly some rocks in the background look a little too focused. I wonder whether you used manual focus or autofocus. It probably was a difficult shot to take and this the best that could be without getting entangled. Bob Hickey - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061916 I like it. I'm not bothered at all about the contrast issue. It looks sunny and probably was a somewhat hot day. I also like the rail in the foreground. It stands there like a barrier. http://www.pbase.com/image/32061917 Yup yup, Ken. You certainly have a certain style. Alan mentioned about the overall clutter detracting from the theme objective, but having got used to your style, judging by the previous recent images, in which i felt it was difficult to pinpoint a locus at first sight, I don't see it as a problem in this image. I like it. Mike Henley - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061918 I took five shots of this scene and settled on this one. The tilt was deliberate to emphasize the feeling of vertigo one, or actually I, would probably experience on these stairs. I seem a little attracted by mild heights. Here's an image I took a couple of days ago http://photos1.blogger.com/img/192/1...0/HPIM0572.jpg It's actually a significant height though it's a little difficult to show that. Probably 3 storeys. I'm sure a fall would've been undesirable, though I actually almost fell as I leaned forward to take this shot then realized that only my little butt, which isn't much, was balancing the rest of my body. http://www.pbase.com/image/32061919 Hehe Holga! Nice image. It's difficult to think that this image was actually taken within the past 2 weeks. I looks more like one taken decades ago or something. I agree with Alan that it's difficult to appreciate it's relationship to the mandate. I didn't actually notice those lock doors as I thought that was a bridge. Nice nonetheless. Bret Douglas - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061920 Looks like a great place to be. Nice shot. I would've loved to see more of the landscape. Not sure a vertical/portrait orientation is the best for this image, unless of course you had to keep things out of the picture. Rich Pos - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061921 Soligor digital spot meter? I see. Always the master of available-light shots. I like this image. Probably couldn't have been done better. It's one of those images that give a "I wish i was there feeling"; Beer and BBQ. http://www.pbase.com/image/32061922 I didn't know what a revue was but I now know it's a praktica. Alan commented on a few technical aspects with the image but I guess I like it as it is. There's nothing wrong with a lo-fi, candid, almost grungy quality. I really like this image, and the obvious technical imperfections all add to its appeal to me. A great entry. Chibitul - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061923 Heh. looks like an industrial product shot. I'm sure you love your mac. I would probably love it if i had one. If only they had a G5, it's tough to give up on the Athlon 64. It's a good shot, but i can't say I like it much, not because there's anything wrong with it, but just purely because I'm not into that product shot thing, even though it does meet the mandate. Alan Browne - http://www.pbase.com/image/32061924 Heh. That's a funny shot, for sure. This guy looks straight out of centuries ago. Nice nice, very nice. Vic Mason - http://www.pbase.com/image/32066974 Yeah, I'm not sure how it meets the mandate. Maybe a bug of some sort entering the hole would've made it. Makes me wanna chew on these flowers though for some reason. Brian Baird - http://www.pbase.com/image/32076418 Nice though would probably be nicer for another mandate other than entrances and exits. Al Denelsbeck - http://www.pbase.com/image/32110577 Interesting. Surely a shot I wouldn't have the patience to attempt. But interesting. It and the previous two shots (Baird and Mason) are different takes on the theme. |

Thought a while about composition and this is the best I could come up with. The shot was rather mundane so I tried to beef it up with DOF although I couldn't get *high* enough to see the tree line through the front window. Probably should have shot a few different angles but was trying to stay away from converging verticals. Cheers, RPŠ |
