Critique Welcomed Pharaoh Raeza Greets His Subjects

[Brian Moore]

A couple of weeks ago at our office Halloween dress up contest Ray (proper name Raeza) was carried in on a litter as Pharaoh by 4 other blokes. I only got one decent picture (I was being jostled unceremoniously by the assembled multitude). This is the shot I managed to get.

Olympus XA and Kodak Ultramax 400 film.

That's multitudes for you. Despite that, you've caught him perfectly, I'd say, Brian. Perfect pose. The white sheet (?) behind him echoing his hand - also perfect. You just know you'd be willing to give your life for him in a futile gesture of support. Either that or thrash a few slaves on his behalf.

Where on earth do you work, Santa's toy factory?

I like it Brian and I think it is all the better for the blur.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Ha...nice shot and it looks like you have fun at work also. Makes me want to go back to work. NOT!

Yes indeed, Rob! (Damn multitudes!) Thanks, Rob!

Thanks, Paul. I think the blur is almost essential in this shot. Pure luck, of course, and made possible by no flash photography.

Thanks, Glenn. This kind of fun at work makes me want to work forever. NOT!

That's amazing Brian - I had no idea the Egyptians had developed drop ceilings as well as the pyramids!

Lovely feeling of a captured moment in the hustle and bustle

Very inventive people, the Egyptians, Chris. I'm surprised you were unaware of their drop ceiling technology. (All the best pyramids had them in the sarcophical chambers.)

Yes, I understand they employed them to cover up all those damn paintings the slaves used to apply while they were building them.

Blurry gold and blue. Super shot Brian and great placement.

I think it was those cielings that deceived so many archaeologists for decades (and grave robbers for hundreds of years before that).

Thanks, Pete. Much appreciated.
