D1 - Torso And Shadow

[Greg Durrett]

An experiment with an interesting shadow created by the ironwork over the window in our front door. At first I was shooting just the shadow against the wall, but wanted to push the idea a bit. One could certainly envision a better model for this sort of thing, but this is a rough "proof" of the idea:



Don't cringe!

It's a good idea, and I think you have some interesting shadows. The particular torso you have is kind of flat, like it almost could be a wall.

Not to be a male chauvinist, but I think this idea could be really expanded by using the curves of a female form to interact with those shadows, kind of watch the shadows of the ironwork stretch and distort as they go around the curves and corners.

I agree, and so does my girlfriend, though I don't think she will volunteer for the shot. Nevertheless, it's something to keep in mind when I come back to this idea...

Now Greg... That's quite a tattoo you got yourself there. Is that any sort of druidic rite?

I see you're keeping yourself in good shape. Carrying the D1 around and all.

YANSBGD. That stands for "Yet another great shot by Greg Durrett", which I'll use for those moments when I just want to buy you a beer instead of giving you the fancy pseudo-know-it-all-critique words: "great composition, very engaging, etc..."

You know how I find your photos: Simple, elegant and great "design". So, when you see the acro, you know what I mean.
Hope you also know I say so when I don't really like something...

Well Greg, no great offense, but I suspect that Frances could supply some torsos that WOULD work just a bit better for me. He has enough PhotoShop ability that we may see something appear further down this thread using your photograph as a starting point. But the idea and the execution are worthwhile just the same.

Why the d1 users often post black an white pictures ?

it's often not art, it because the d1 doesn't have vivid colors, so it looks better in sw mode.

But a nice shot...looks like Spain flamenco!

The beauty lies not in the body, but in the comfort one has living in their own skin. I like this picture very much!

Great shadow and great idea, Greg! I look forward to you developing this theme, and maybe even zooming in a bit on parts of a torso. But this is great stuff. Always enjoy your abstracts....
