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.
////////// Hi, and thanks for comments. The subject is the name of my CD
for the university. It's a cd with electronic music (chemical bros. and
daft punk) intended to listen in the car while driving very fast. So, the
name is a poor intention to cross music listening terms (the ff button in
the cd player) with the action of going very fast in a car (it was the best
I can thought). This image is for the inner booklet spread. I made about
ten shots while me and my friend drove the tunnel the two ways. I obtained
interesting results, including another one I used for the cover (if you
wish I can send you a small jpg of it). I was not going sooo fast (about 50
to 60 mph), and in fact, my friend, the driver, made a very dark humor joke
while we were entering the tunnel: " I hope we'll not finish as Lady Di".
I tried some differents points of view, but I was limited by the very short
time I had to take the pics (it took about 30 seconds to pass the tunnel
each way), the limited space I have to move inside the car( I didn't want
to provoque an accident).
The pic lasted some seconds, and was handheld, and looking at the negs, it
was Supra 100 and not 400.
"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?
/////////////// Yes, you are right, cropping would help a lot. It's not so
dark in the print, but a combination of poor scanner an poor photoshopping
made it darker. Yes, the rear fence is the more attracting part. Thanks for
commenting
Thanks for sharing these with us. I enjoyed seeing them.
////////////// You are really welcome. If you wish I can send you a pair of
jpg of other images of the same cd project (I study Graphic Design)
Regards
Albano
