This is good and interesting; the blurred image is ghost-like and the sharp mirrored image is the focus point instead of the people. Fresh and unique.

Jan said it all; again a terrific shot of daily life

Wonderful project selection...well done

Wow! This one is very creative, great exposure and composition. There're so many different techniques and influences in your photos, I like it.
Best regards, Dmitry

I like this shot and I'm attaching my ghost photo -- although someone told me that it's really the flash reflecting grains of sand. Since it was taken in an ancient Indian (American Indian) kiva within a ceremonial cave, I still tend to wonder if these orbs are not spirits.

Leo Régnier  Я£   {K:62962} 1/17/2007
Thanxs for your comment dear Maryanne!!
And very interesting the effect in your picture, but in my case is the slow exposure (1/4, if I remember...).
About the strange effects, I hear some day that if you take pictures in the cemetary, near recent thumbs, is possible that in the picture appears some gauzes (? don't know if this word is corret...), but I don't want to try...
Cheers,
Leo


Liz Wallis   {K:25610} 1/17/2007
wonderful capture Leo..perfect for the project :)


Alexandra Nogueira   {K:-69} 1/17/2007
Fantástica!
Como gosto muito de psicologia, fiquei imenso tempo a olhar para a fotografia...os fantasmas, os outros, nós próprios...enfim sabes que não tenho muito jeito para isto não é, gostei muito!!!!!


Shirley D. Cross   {K:141630} 1/17/2007
Wonderful, Leo...love the motion blur!:)


Maryanne Murillo   {K:9444} 1/17/2007
Leo, I saw something on television about the appearance of "orbs" in photographs taken in cemetaries indicating the presence of ghosts. When I saw this, I looked at my photos from this location and almost all had "orbs" in them. These included photos taken both inside and outside the underground kiva. The one I posted (from inside the kiva) had the most by far. I thought I might have a real phenomenon, but later learned about the flash photography/sand issue. I will tell you that, if there were spirits present, they were not hostile. The site was very peaceful.

Here's another one from just outside the kiva. Note the orb in the upper right hand corner -- there is also half of one showing at the top of the ladder). I'm willing to believe this is just an interaction between the flash and airborne sand, but I like the spirit idea better.

It's fun to discuss anyway.

Excellent. Nice and interesting job. I like your photos. bye.


Leo Régnier  Я£   {K:62962} 1/17/2007
Alexandra, essa foto é bem recente, tirei há cerca de 2 semanas, mas só ontem a vi revelada. Gostei imediatamente, porque foi isso mesmo que busquei quando a fiz...
O nome que eu dei foi "existência", e isso por 3 motivos: a sombra (fantasma) à esquerda, que QUER aparecer mas não aparece; o reflexo no espelho, que traz diversos rostos sem nome; e a moça ao centro (embaixo), que existe realmente e mostra felicidade...
Espero que compreenda, por isso acho que é uma das melhores fotos que já fiz até hoje...
Um abraço,
Leo


Matheus Lamb Wink   {K:871} 1/18/2007
Adorei a composição nessa foto. Parabéns

Um grande abraço,
Matheus

I really like this one Leo!
Very creative. I've always thought that there is something even more alive about an intentionally blurred image. It's like we are holding on to a piece of life / time, for just a fraction of a second longer. Great idea to use the heads in the mirror too for some extra depth to the image.
Andre


Leo Régnier  Я£   {K:62962} 1/18/2007
Thnk you very much my dear friend!! The point of this shot is really the oposite of LIFE/TIME. You understand very well!!
Leo


Dave Arnold   {K:55613} 1/18/2007
Yup, this is a blurry image... and fits in with the project just perfectly. Love how you've incorporated the plates in the mirror, too!.

This image, upon first inspection appears to be a "snapshot" with no thought... then when you start studying it, it becomes more of a work of art. Great stuff!

Dave


Leo Régnier  Я£   {K:62962} 1/18/2007
Yeah Dave! Thanx a lot my dear friend!!
Leo


Andre Denis   {K:56377} 1/18/2007
Yes Leo,
How about the slipping away of life/time?
Andre


Leo Régnier  Я£   {K:62962} 1/18/2007
Perfect!!!
Other thing: I'm a member of another site, with just 20 bulgarians photographers (and this brazilian photographer...). They have a very different way to see and understand the pictures. I've posted this one also there, and take a look in the comments:

Leo Régnier  Я£   {K:62962} 1/18/2007
Yes Maryanne, I know (and I hope) they are not hotiles. We have a friend here in Usefilm thats made a wonderful cemetary portfolio (now it's a 2007 calendar). Take a look in the early uploads:

Andre Denis   {K:56377} 1/18/2007
Hi Leo,
The comment by "Alleasy" seems to agree with my interpretation. Very close anyway.
It seems there are some very talented Bulgarians on that site :)
Great stuff. Very inspiring!
Andre


Ina Nicolae   {K:44481} 1/18/2007
Very surreal and artistic work, dear Leo. The man and the woman seem in the middle of an amicable discussion, their room interior seems to take a life of its own, the objects become animated: the mirror is beaming faces, the papers start flying around forming a ghost. The ceiling is floating and the corners of the room have disappeared. Wow, what a story! A fav :) Ina


narabia     {K:9560} 1/18/2007
yet another one that deserved BIP


narabia     {K:9560} 1/18/2007
ops, deserves not deserved
:)
but.... after it get BIP it will be OK


Alexandra Nogueira   {K:-69} 1/18/2007
Sabes eu acho muito interessante a questão existencialista, os conflitos existenciais, com os outros, connosco, e as emoções que dai resultam, e é fantástico ver que é possivél tornar isso visivel, materializar sentimentos...
Abraço.


Simone Tagliaferri   {K:28180} 1/18/2007
Bella, una foto di grande impatto.


Dave Stacey   {K:117108} 1/18/2007
An interesting long exposure shot, Leo! It adds a sense of mystery and atmosphere to the shot.
Dave.


Claudia Perilli   {K:28670} 1/19/2007
Great capture! great moment.

Claudia


Aira Manna   {K:11201} 1/21/2007
really like pics like this - so much life can be captured in a still with long exp, and with so much intensity


justin ames   {K:845} 1/27/2007

Owen O'Meara   {K:8404} 4/11/2007
Leo:

This one goes far beyond beautiful. It is one of your best and one of the best I have seen on the site in the last year.

-Owen


Leo Régnier  Я£   {K:62962} 4/11/2007
