[Leica] IMG: Fisherman in a Tourist Town

[Mark Rabiner]

I think for sure it would be distracting in a show of otherwise normally processed images to have this one the only graphic done at this level.
I think it’s good to get out of the box every so often and there are people whose whole body of work is graphically extended lens based art (photographs) done on this more imaginative level.  
The limitations of digital photograph or at least digital processing is seemly unlimited and there is some great phantasmagorical stuff out there Salvador Dali would have loved to be here.
Often they’re bad bot sometimes they’re good. I think if I saw a gallery filled with this stuff with no straight images I’d probably like much of it. I probably already have. But as a one-off experiment it is going to be jarring. I say make it a 100-off experiment and print and hang it. Or at least have a full page in your website devoted to it “sometimes I think outside the box”. Or “sometimes I chew up a few peyote mushrooms and play with Photoshop all night”.

    The image is good and like you say the isolation of the man is good but the HDR effect is VERY distracting.

    PESO:I'm predicting that most of you will not like this one, but I like theisolation of the fisherman with the colorful ladies on vacation.  Thelighting was so splotchy with extreme sunlight and shade, I used Color Efexto make it look more painterly.  I hate splotchy light and probably shouldnot bother to take photos in it, but I liked this guy.http://www.pbase.com/image/165813005Tina-- Tina Manleywww.tinamanley.comtina-manley.artistwebsites.comhttp://www.alamy.com/stock-photography/3B49552F-90A0-4D0A-A11D-2175C937AA91/Tina+Manley.html_______________________________________________Leica Users Group.See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
