RE: [Leica] I See Dead People & PAW Ketchup

["TMitchell" <tmitchell@hekizan.com>]

Hi Don,

I would have never thought about blurring the people in the Market shot.
I'm definitely going to watch for that shirt there again some time and try
to reshoot.

I do plan to reshoot the bridge on a day with better sky.  On the PAW
project, I've been trying to work within the constraints of posting
something shot during the previous week and it's hard to find a good sky in
Aberdeen.  I think the rainiest place in the continental US is about 30
miles from there.  It's easy to see where Kurt Cobain picked up a lot of his
angst.  I only pass through there on surfing trips so this is will be filed
in my mental 'future shots to do' list.

The water idea sounds fun too.  I'll need to wear a raincoast though, I got
frickin' soaked the first time ;->

Thanks a ton, especially for the dead people idea.  I'm doubtful that would
have come to me on my own and I've got a couple other creepy places it'll
come in handy.

T.

Hi Thomas;
Let's see,

There is definitely something here,  what is needed is some echo of the
t-shirt.  Possibly a slow shutter speed to blur the people so they look
ghost like, or a double exposure so the people are transparent.

This bridgscape is more problematic as it just doesn't reach me.  If I were
confronted by a similar structure I would have gotten lower and shot at a
more upward angle, hopefully choosing a day with more clouds in the sky with
a orange to red filter to pop the bridge structure from the sky.  However,
this is your art so if that is not the message you wanted to say then please
disregard as everyone should have their own vision.

The wall of water is an intriguing image with something there.  Possibly a
vertical composition, possibly some spot of color.  I do think the main is a
stronger image than the alternate, mostly because the water in this case is
better stopped than blurred.  Woulda, shoulda, possibly multiple exposures
at a high shutter speed to build up a wall of sharp water?

Thanks for showing your work.
