few of my "nights"

Welcome to the Photoblog. I can't see your photos too well because I'm temporarily on dialup. From, what I can see, however, they look great.

Hey, Grandma Moses started late!

Wow (none / 1)

The second from the top (the black-and-white) especially draws my eye. Very enigmatic in the way we don't see the face. The casual clothing of the woman juxtaposed with the stylish, but rather stark decor makes it even stronger. I get an urge that the person poised in the chair doesn't want to be where she's sitting.

Wow.

Heh (none / 0)

I've noticed before that the screen I use on my Internet computer considerably darkens images compared to other screens... Oh well - it sure gave a good effect.

What did you do to the picture to allow me (or everyone?) to see what was happening in the dark?

Even so, the poise of the person remains very tense and captivating... It doesn't convey (to me) a person who's relaxing... Now the bookshelf is visible the classy effect is reduced - I previously considered looking at a fancy hotel lobby!

Picture is dark and effective because of it. Dodo just put more light in it through computer software...but it spoiled everything. Yes pictures can "lie"...because they are products of what person making photo is seeing. That's why we can make photos of the same object and they can be totally different...

Exactly.. We had this assignment in school where we had to take a picture of a white egg on a white background. We were allowed to use only one light source (and it had to be the softbox), no effects, no props, no nothing. Sounds boring, huh? A white egg on a white paper? But still, everyone's photo was different. And many were actually quite interesting.

You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--

I used gamma correction. One part of why she sits as she does is that the telephone she uses is a cord telephone, the cord is visible above. But her gait I think only shows that she wants to keep her talk private -- fearing her mother's indiscretion :-)
