| | One from Hajima... < on 12/27/2005 11:21 AM >

Dentist Chair Hajima. Diana with T-Max 400. Standing in this room, with the sound of the sea and the wind, and the thought of a thousand island ghosts really made me shiver...

| | | Wonderful. The lomography look captures the feel perfectly. Please, more.

| | | Nice for a straight black and white. The heavy bottom seems to work for it as a standalone, but after reading your description, I don't get that feeling from the picture. It sounds like it was near a shoreline; if you would get that involved with the shot somehow, I'd be more inclined to feel the same thing. The chair in the foreground and the building in the background feel a bit blurry to me, as if the camera wasn't still. If they were crisp, I think the image would jump out at me a bit more. If you could get any detail at all in the lower half, even if it was just the smallest glint to pull the eye down and force more movement in the image, it would be improved tennfold. The tones are excellent in this, as is the overall mood of the piece. I love the fact that it looks full frame. Keep up the good work.

Or as if it were taken with plastic toy camera with one shutter speed... wait, it was!

| | | There's too much darkness in the bottom portion. It's too harshly contrasted with the lighter tonality of top-half. It's so awesome that you've been there, you're truly privileged.

| | | If it was a painting I might like it... as a photo I don't think it satisfies my eye. If you know what I mean.

| | | With over 50% of the frame solid black and the other half kind of blurry I don't find anything appealing here.

| | | Blah blah blah... I see a lot of people picking on technical aspects but no one is even considering any kind of actual artistic/emotional qualities. This goes for the entire critiques board and not just here, but this seemed like an appropriate place. Technically good photos can be boring, and apparently some people don't get the idea of lomography, and right now this is all a big waste of time.

I very much "get" the idea of lomography, and often find lomographs or similar photographs very appealing. I myself have a Holga, as well as few Polaroid cameras that shoot pictures which are usually less than sharp, to put it nicely. I resent the fact that you're accusing people of not having an artistic appreciation and being too technical. I do not get any emotional response to this picture as the darkness of the bottom detracts from the whole. Sorry. [last edit 1/7/2006 8:43 AM by nd31 - edited 1 times]

You'll get over it, somehow.

THANK YOU. Already that is a big improvement. I wasn't really yelling at you but had you said that to start with... I am complaining that the ONLY thing I see is people picking on technical aspects. There's more to photography than using the rule of thirds on every single shot or having spot-on exposure.

Luckily so. I'd hate a world where everything was technically perfect or required to be so. It's boring.
