one of about six this year

[Vic Shaw]

One of the very few shots I've managed to take this year, I can't say why I was at the Excel only that I was forced to go by my wife ( who happens to like Star Trek!) any way I kinda liked the lighting as I was walking back in after having a smoke ( surrounded by Klingons, Borgs and various doubles of Pickard and Kirk)

Not sure even if I have the tones right here as I don't even have the monitor set up correctly.

Looks pretty good to me, Vic! Nice shot!

 

[Hamish Gill]

aaaayyyyy Vic!! Hows tricks, long time!
Well I like it, the tones look pretty good to me! I like the chap sitting down and his shadow...

 

[Vic Shaw]

Thanks guys, I really like the lighting on the guy in the wheel chairs tee-shirt I looks much better large.

Life is treating me well thanks Hamish, if I could only motivate myself to get out and start taking pictures again life would be better!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You produce shots like that, and you still need motivation? Looks great. I love the tones.

Thats the fella I like!

good news Vic, and well there seem to be a few folks cropping up with photoblock... I even gave it its own forum
i just make my self poor when it happens to me! Have done recently by buying too many manual m42 lenses ... I now have about 10 of the things that span about 50 years, 1 date back to 1938!! So far that has yielded about 20 photos ... That's what I call a low ppps (photos per pound spent) ratio

Super shot with the lighting & silhouettes. I just now also saw the swami.

Excel only that I was forced to go by my wife ( who happens to like Star Trek!

Heehee i read about that the 5 Star Trek captain on one stage.

It works for me Vic. And I like the toning a lot and I can see why you were attracted to the light. The choice of framing really emphasises the space and I like the way it reflects the doors at the end of the corridor / mall especially with the slightly wet floor leading you in. A super shot all round.

Good to have you back Vic and what a great image to make your comeback with. Like the dark exposure inside and the way it frames the slightly overexposed outside. Nice lead in lines and nice the way the line horizontal line splits the image in two.

 

[Vic Shaw]

Thanks again guys, I really will do something this weekend.....even if it's some still life stuff.

Good man! I got a bit stuck a while back for some reason, but, as the winter started to take hold, my enthusiasm has returned.
