The Returnist

[Pete Askew]

Sony RX100. PP in LR, Nik ColorFX 4 and Nik SilverFX Pro2.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

The fist one is brilliant Pete....... But then you knew I was going to like that didn't you.
Love the PP.

 

[Pete Askew]

I had a suspicion you might. Thanks Dan.

 

[Brian Moore]

Beautiful, Pete! The first especially! However, if I hadn't seen the first, I'd be singing the praises of the 2nd. Fabulous stuff!

(Do know that lady...?)

 

[Chris Dodkin]

I think he does Brian, I think he does

Very evocative Pete -love the pool of light in the first shot

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Brian. Thanks Chris. Yes, I've seen her around before!

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Love the first one Pete. The left side of the second is a little distracting...but I like it. Great idea.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Glenn. You are right, as an image I think th first works much better and is one I have been thinking about for a while. The caravans were a bonus (mobile duvet cleaning service) and I wanted to give an impression that she was returning to them. I emphasised the caravan a touch in the first to link it to the second. If Ina hadn't have been cold, I would have made a couple more but I only had the Sony in my pocket anyway. We'll return.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

As above. Love these - the darkness, the colours,, the story. Wasn't sure exactly how the title connected, but there is a vague idea of a lonely woman heading somewhere. I thought Ina was taller? The lamp in the first is perfectly placed - masterly.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Smashing Pete, something very different in these that is very appealing.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Rob, thanks Julian. She usually is Rob!

 

[Beth Carter]

love the first one, excellent timing shooting her as she walked into the light.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Beth.

 

[Lesley Jones]

I agree with Brian - I would have loved the second had I not seen the first, first. Um...

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Lesley. And a big cheer for the model. The timing wasn't accidental. I'm a lucky man!

 

[Paul Lange]

Really superbly done Pete. Are these more of your implied narrative but no narrative explorations?

 

[Pete Askew]

Sort of, yes. But just grabbed on the way to taking a DVD back to the store and so not that well planned. I would have liked to have had a shot with Ina glancing over her shoulder as well but she was cold and tired. Maybe when there is snow falling!

 

[Aldous Lau]

Is it a horrible story? Nice shot Pete!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Aldous. I can create worse!
