Hi Albano,
I especially liked "Fast Forward" -- very dynamic. I feel like I'm
dangerously close to getting squished against that wall on the right side.
This is not a criticism at all, but rather one of the elements that lends to
the dynamic quality of the image. The curvature and "flow" of the overhead
white lights, from upper left corner to near the middle right edge, is
especially nice. The relative positioning of the rear view mirror disrupts
this "flow" a little bit, for me at least. Might be interesting to see a
shot from a slightly different angle, just to see if you could move the
mirror with respect to the white lights. While you certainly convey a sense
of traveling "fast, forward", it looks as though the thin red
nearly-horizontal line through the center was made by cars to your left
going even faster. Can you tell us a little more about the relative
velocities when you made the exposure? I can't help but wonder if you
thought about making a similar exposure from the ~left~ lane while looking
at cars on the right. This would put the tunnel exit and the wall on the
right side at different positions with respect to each other. Might be
interesting to compare the two perspectives.
"Polara" was an interesting shot, but I found myself tempted to crop it into
two separate images. For me, the large prominent dark surface of the car's
rear fender (plus the dark tree above and the dark street below) creates a
very large separation between the view of the garage on the right and the
view of the street scene on the left. My eye is drawn more to the
diffraction spikes and the reflections off the car's rear bumper, on the
left side of the picture. This portion of the image is interesting on its
own -- perhaps some cropping would work here?
Thanks for sharing these with us. I enjoyed seeing them.
