Love Frank’s shot
Do you have any information about the new Panasonic AF101?
Guido Gloor Modjib’s shot is amazing. The composition with all the reflection really threw me off. I had to stop and think just to figure out what was represented. I think black and white treatment was the perfect choice here. This photo belongs in a book or frame. Fantastic!
It looks completely abstract until you realize it is absolutely concrete! Total shift of perspective in the viewer. It is almost a reversible image.
I gotta stop….
What is it exactly?? It looks like a dismantled insect to me hehe Looked for a second and then just moved along..is it floating on water?
It’s a bird, a mallard if I’m not misstaken. And some reed straws.
Ahhhh I get it now! Didn’t see the bird at first omg! I got the water part right though haha, I did notice the reflections but if you look at it quickly you get the impression its an insect of some sort with all those twigs… thought it was a macro shot 🙂
See what I mean? 🙂
How come most gear-related posts get dozens or even hundreds of comments, while these picture roundups struggle to get even ten comments? Isn’t the pictures what it’s all about in the end?
Because this is a Rumors site.
Yes, but aren’t we interested in camera and lens rumors, because we’re interested in taking photos? Or are the tools more worthy of discussion than the end product?
And what should people discuss about the pictures? Composition, colors etc.? Really? It´s all subjective… There is not much to say, save for “beautiful” – “nice model” – “nice colors”…
There is not much to say about subjective things? About art?
My book shelves are full of books on art (including photography), many of them with in-depth analysis of the artworks, their meaning, symbolism, composition, technique etc. And those books barely mention what paint brushes, pencils, chisels, cameras or other tools the artists were using.
I totally agree. It’s about what you can do with the gear, it’s not just about owning gear.
Most of the comments in gear-related posts are trolls and people feeding them. But it’s harder for one to say “Micro 4/3 sucks!” in the picture roundups when there’s counterexamples right in front of them 🙂
Ilya Varivchenko great come back! Model looks stunning as usual. Ulli would have loved it for sure:( he always did like your pix..
What happened to Ulli?
Oh he passed away.. BdV found out a while back and said admin would post an honorary thread about him..and we are still waiting…
Thanks for the reply. So sad. Obviously, I didn’t really know him, but at least I could tell he was a nice and funny guy. Given his huge contribution as a commenter here, an honorary thread would be much deserved indeed.
I reminded admin about it a while back, he said he was waiting for a quiet moment to post about Ulli. But maybe he changed his mind or forgot again. Anyway, here is a link (in Dutch, sorry, use google translate please): http://incognito-comics.blogspot.nl/2015/01/in-memoriam-ulli-burer-1965-2015.html?m=1
