Well thought out, it works well on all points, Nick
Thanks!
Not so much thought out as spotted and grabbed... the joys of pretty much always having a camera in your bag!
Totally love it Nick, bang on theme and like it looks gritty with the Fuji iso up.
Cheers!
I do love that camera, particularly in mono.
Nice one - I did have to look up the work by Dali, but yes, a clear link to that. Bang on theme too.
Thank you!
I've honestly not looked at that painting for years, but for some reason it connected in my head for the title.
Well spotted opportunity. I think the noise suits it in B&W, giving it a gritty look.
Thanks!
I've not even looked at the Raw for this one, The Acros Jpeg is pretty complete as it is... Thanks Fuji!
That works really well. Mixing desk at ISO3200 - should be noisy
Thank you!
The noise/noise thing wasn't a connection I'd made until you mentioned it... Sadly I can't claim it was a conscious choice.
A nice reflection didn’t get it a first thought it was someone peeping over the mixing desk, I see what you mean about the tribute had to look it up though
Cheers!
It is a bit ambiguous. The full frame is more obvious, but I felt a crop was necessary to make more of a feature of the reflection itself.
Works really well. If it were me, I'd probably clone out that white dot on the left as it's a bit distracting but that's just my opinion...
Thanks!
I think you're right, I should have at least pulled it down a little.
Just to echo whats been said above Nick, I too think the 'noise' adds to the overall scene, nothing really to add. Good work.
Thank you!
I'm starting to sound like a fanboy, but it's the best noise on the market IMO!
That works well for both theme & technique. Would possibly have liked a little more of the desk to give more context but that would have made the reflection smaller in the image so maybe wouldn't have worked.
Cheers!
I did have more material in the whole frame, but I felt the face got a little lost and struggled with the composition. This was a bit of a compromise.
Nice photo Nick, well on theme and technique, Thanks for the explanation as I would never have guessed, my first thought was some one reflection in a house window.
Pete
Thanks!
As above, more of the mixing desk would have helped contextualise it, but I felt the reflection called for a crop to maximise it's effect.
Nice portrait ... amongst all the confusion .
Thank you!
Ultimately a portrait is exactly what it is. As a record shot of the mixing stages, during a pandemic, I'm really glad I have it.... That it happens to fit this week's theme is a bonus. Having spotted it I would have taken the shot anyway.
