lol random thing.. i LOVE making origami lol... nice picture though the angle should have been a tiny bit more to the right i think to have the middle a little more in focus but still awesome..

wow...nice concept. What is it that the cranes are placed on? I see a sort of dent in the surface, on the bottom left of the image.

cicychan In reply to tanyeewei [2005-09-08 01:50:56 +0000 UTC]

thanks! the cranes were actually on my piano bench. they have these thingies to hold the seat down, that's what the dent is. i needed a black background and my piano was the only thing around that was black, haha.

I love that it's in black and white, it reminds me of the sad story of "A Thousand Paper Cranes". It's dramatic, but in a way I think if you haven't read the book or have a humourus personality the photo could be funny too. To me it's dramatic and very impressive

i think i've heard the story. i had it in mind while i was folding the cranes... but at that moment, i hadn't thought of doing a photo yet... thanks for the comment!

my piano bench.... haha... i had imagined white cranes on a black background, and the only black chair around was my piano bench. haha... the background is actually the piano.

Ah, so you're a member of =onewordphoto too!
Great work with the depth of field. I like the way the first crane isn't even completely sharp, but one can still be able to distinguish them all.
Nice framework too! With font did you use for your name? And if I may: how can it be imported in PS?

cicychan In reply to Meneerofongeveer [2005-08-06 16:57:45 +0000 UTC]

haha, =onewordphoto rocks... i used a font called violation for my name. i'm not sure how to import it in PS...

cicychan In reply to Meneerofongeveer [2005-08-06 23:30:21 +0000 UTC]

nope, i used some program that came with my scanner called photostudio... the fonts in there are the same as the fonts in microsoft word and whatever else.
