Very good shot for its composition, PoV, and mode of color.

Each of the single frames out of which the image consists, Yazeed, is without camera shake. You can realize that in the contours of the numbers. had there been and shake, they would be the very best indicatirs for that. The softness between the transitions form one frame to the other are not subject of camera shake but of exposure conditions. I.e., when you expose the same part of the film with highlights more than once then it ios clear that the augmented highlights may also cause clipping. It is soft clipping but it is clipping.

The question is of course if one likes it or not. I find it very good here. But this is not any kind of absolute rule at all.

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot, Dave!

The whole history is full of such repeated crimes... either A goes against B or the other away around. It is hard to stay sane under such an madness, but it helps to realize that we all indirectly support the making of always new victims if we all don't take the courage and control and examine exactly what our politicians do. And I don't speak about distinct countries here. I mean the whole humanity. We should stop goving diplomats so many many many absolutions.

Or else the counter of victims will continue running high, that is. If we like that then we should just continue the good old ways, but then we should also stop "crying for victims" and just say that we expand Darwinism to the social phenomena too. We can't go on regreting the past victims and generating the next ones...

Cheers!

Thank you very much, Dave!

It has been exactly my own thoughts about that, to just show that kind of terror but in "quieter tones".

So I think that some more variations are the thing I should also try, Andre, changing DoF and point of focus gradually and also systematically. In such cases it is rather hard to state any "rules" before simply trying, I guess.

Thank you very much for the hints.

Thanks a lot, Andre!

As the time passes by I also notice a growing attitude of mine to use such multiple exposures when it somehow "does something". I am only glad if it "did soemthing" here.

Thanks a lot for the nice comment, Txules!

In fact I also thought that the horizontal lines (where the wooden planks meet) were good for the image. They add, as you said, to the overall tension here.

Cheers!

Hi Nick,

This is getting closer to the edgier feel i was talking about. Quite stark, yet revealing.

Nick you have a great theme running here, but the subject matter seems a little mute. I look forward to others with some more grit. I guess given the subject this could be harder to find in the modern Switzerland than in the old, but the sentiment is there to see. Looking forward to you digging a bit deeper and edgier with this one.

Regards,

Robert.

You could make the line where wood combines with black metal parallel to the line edge of image, understand? That means to rotate whole image to straighten it by makeing all lines paralel with the edge. I hope i explained it better

Hmmm... I should "straighten image by lower edge". I don't quite get that, Kenan. Can you explain that to me, please?

Hey, thanks a lot, Visar!

Now that you gave me the description it sounds perfecty "natural" to me, but as always... to develop the idea is that hard part of it. To find it so understandable after the originator's explanation... well, that's the trivial part of it. Much like having Rory Hallagher telling you what he plays. It looks so easy then but it is way not "easy" to come to the idea to play that. ;-)

But still... if you have the developed film frame, can't you simply scan it? :-/

Cheers!

Well, Visar, if that didn't give the whole matter of "abstracts" the kick into the right direction... I don't know what else could do. It seems to me that the "liking" has became the one onad only criterium for such a domain like abstract photography, which then turns any kind of "liked" image to "artistic work" ... automatically.

And we at last have to grasp that "abstraction" is not, I repeat *not*, *not* for the damn of it, the result of lucky coinsidences like these here. If we don't get that, we are going to suffer a long long time of mental misery. Simply because then we are going to lose one of the very fundamental principles of thinking, namely the ability to sublime from real existing physical world into something more "theoretical" perhaps, but also much more powerful for framing the basics.

As we all (should) know, a theory is an abstraction of reality, but definitely it is not the result of "lucky coinsidences" and even less it is measured by "liking". It is measured by thinking, if I may remark this.

Thanks a lot, Visar!
