Critique Welcomed Light

[Brian Moore]

I had just left a meeting at work and down the hall I see this.

I had on me my Olympus XA. The film was Arista EDU that I processed in Rodinal.




Here she is up close

The first one is amazing and a little creepy. Brian. An apparition. Look away for one second and she is gone. Love it.

Thanks, Tom. She does seem a bit like an apparition, now that you mention it. Maybe that's what I'l call that one,..."Apparition." Thanks again, Tom!

Excellent Brian, I like the fragility of the first , with the resulting reassurance of the second. Superb.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Really love that first one Brian. Walking into the light is kind of scary.

Two sneaky shots from behind, I don't know if I can approve of such a method

lol. Well, I know it appears to be sneaky, Ivar, but in truth I saw what I saw from a distance and snapped the 1st one as quick as I could lest she move. The 2nd one, it occurs to me, may be percieved as some kind of creepy stalking, as if I were sneaking up on her. But in fact, I had good reason to be where I was since my exit from the building was through the door you see to the left of the image. So if the young lady had sensed my presence she would not have considered anything untoward to be happening. Which of course there wasn't!

Except that you "took" a picture from behind

I happily steal light whenever I can, Ivar!

A fantastic pair of images Brian. Quite different and I like Tom's idea of the transient apparition. It wasn't taken just before the 27th April was it by any chance? Not another visitation reminding us of world pinhole day! The second image is equally fine I think and I really like the peacefulness of the scene. Although she may well be talking on her phone one cannot but help wonder what she is looking at.

April 10 in fact, Pete! Thank you for the comments, Pete. Much appreciated.
