Thanks for all the comments on these two photos. A few responses to questions ... > From: Fernando > I like a lot "The Lonely Life 2", at first I thought it was some > "selective color" photo (yikes) but then I see that is just some low > saturation (right?). Anyway, nice. The light in the theatre is very low and there's a huge preponderance of red due to the upholstery and decor. Also the lighting is very very warm in color. So I originally applied my usual B&W setup filter, which desaturates all channels and lets me mix a spectral response with the luminance controls. But then I thought, hmm, well the red upholstery is really all we've got so I started bumping the red saturation control up in tiny increments ... got this point and liked the results. It's monochrome with a red bias ... ;-) > From: Ric Carter > I think you should go back and spend an entire performance looking > down and snapping;^) lol ... I suspect that I'd get some flack for trying that ... and light levels would a bit of a problem even with the f/1.4 lens and ISO 3200! > From: Michael Levy > Both great shots and vry evocative but the second is better with > the caption: Lonely Life -- in the first image the people may be > taking up just a few seats, but they appear to be interacting a bit > which kinda negates the 'lonely" part...... "The Lonely Life" is really a reference to the Bette Davis biography and its relationship to the theater as a concept, the cover of which (an exerpt being distributed for the film festival) is seen in the lap of the gent at the lower-left corner of the first one. It is always fascinating to me how people interpret titles on photos!!
