It was my second or third time shooting it. I lived about ten or fifteen minutes away and would be "in the neighborhood" often so would go over there and check it out. What it was looking like. I'd have a new perspective on it having seen my last take on it. And I'd have a different lens on my camera no doubt. Even a different camera. And I did shoot it with film once or twice. Its a Keyword so I I can see them all on a huge Adobe Bridge contact sheet on my screen with metadata of various sorts under each thumbnail. The norm on this thing is to show a shot we'd just done the day before or during the week. Certainly recently. Its less common we're showing off one of our old war horses. Icons. Plenty of times I look at a recent shot I've posted on the lug gallery and put a URL on the LUG to see it and I have major second thoughts about it having in effect seen it through others eyes as a result of comments. I'll delete it entirely and forget the whole thing every happened. But with the old shots which I've lived with over years its different. This shot though is tad disturbing. I have love for it but also mixed feelings. As there's lets face it a tree growing out the the guys head. Against a red sky. But still I've lived with it. Its not a here today gone tomorrow kind of shot for me. But no more trees out of the head. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/onthisAutumnday/ > From: Philippe Amard <philippe.amard at sfr.fr> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2011 19:55:55 +0100 (CET) > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] Six seconds hand held 12/19 > > Rodin? your shot takes some getting used to don't you worry Mark thanks > for posting when I procrastinate Amiti?s Philippe Tous vos emails en 1 > clic avec l'application SFR Mail sur iPhone et > Android. ======================================== Message du : 19/12/2011 > 19:47 De : "Mark Rabiner " <mark at rabinergroup.com> A : "Leica Users Group" > <lug at leica-users.org> Copie ? : Sujet : Re: [Leica] Six seconds hand held > 12/19 I think my take on the shot and the sculpture itself is just a bit > higher than that... falling off a toilet.
