Thank you very much! It was very little what I could work with on that alley, It was so narrow it was impossible to find other angles to avoid the bins..

But thank you ! It means a lot!

a piece that can let anyone indifferent. it's almost abstract, a symphony of life. rainy feelings emerged from this place. the detail of the red windows is exquisite as hell. the colours are awsomely sexy (i would like to say).

the bike is waiting for its owner with a desolated gesture. the stairs seem a fish spine, or a feline tail.

if the pic would be in black and white we could be in presence of a surrealistic version of a doubtless surrealistic pic

fluxuspoem In reply to wil-zan [2004-09-06 21:43:33 +0000 UTC]

I think that Mogwai are quite unique, so I am not sure if I really know anything like that, in that short of style.

In general I listen to Jeff Buckley, PJ Harvey, Elbow, Boards of Canada, Nick Drake, some Elliot Smith etc etc the list is growing non stop really lol

(sorry for not coming back to you on that one earlier, every day problems with life have caught up my time in DA..)

Thank you very much! I do agree with you I prefer this shot, and I was waiting for a while before I published it, to develop my skills a bit. I think that now is exactly how I wanted it to look so I am a happy bunny!lol (Harry Potter and the magic alley )

You'd think that plastic wheelie bins would detract from a picture but they really dont, if anything they just serve to lead the eye straight up those steps (which by the way look great). Such a great photo.

THis one looks really great, tho I'm once again not really fond of the light swallowing the buildings on top of the pic. I think I would've made the pic darker and maybe round that way give it more the "feeling" an alley is known for.. you know: dark, scary and a place you would not want to be at in the middle of the night

Anyways, a nice pic in general, the bicycle on the stairs just adds more to the character of the pic.. and the uniformity of the buildings is very nice, build out of the same type of stone and the same colour for the windows Nice

fluxuspoem In reply to Qbikaris [2004-08-22 00:51:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for the thoughful comment on this deviation. About the light not to be there, I would have to wait for couple of hours and go back later in the afternoon. There was no chance I had to be somewhere else, so I decided to take it anyway

It grew on me, I see this place as a positive place, an uplifting colourful hidden place portraying it as dark wasnt an option at the time. But now,,, thinking about it, it would make another great shot, with completely different feel to it!

..hehe next time in Newcastle, you know were I will be

hi alex. such images are very interesting, everything that is urban is basically interesting, as i told you before. you definitely prove you have an eye for nice shots, you're like me. a sort of hunting bird that has instinct and finds out these very hidden places to share with the world. the very basic point of view oh this particular photo isn't that interesting, though. as always with such problem, a viewer can picture the photographer holding the camera, standing up and shooting, and this cuts a lot of the picture's intensity, i hope you get me. a different and maybe stranger crop, like you shot the picture kneeling on the ground, maybe a bit from the left, would've make the viewer forget about you and concentrate on the dynamism of the composition. the technical limits of your camera are something we already discussed, and i wonder what you could do with a more powerful one. go ahead, your shots inspire me. in fact, it's kinda rare for me to stop by and comment on such an amount of shots from the same person. i hope my comments are useful to you. i learnt a lot from comments and critiques. plus, if one criticizes, one cares

fluxuspoem In reply to mudz [2004-08-22 00:41:58 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for the thoughfull comment Carlo You know that your comments are always welcomed in my gallery, your input is useful and very important to me!

I know what you mean about the crop, but I just felt that I didnt have to do anything to make this shot interesting as the place itself was rich of colour, lines and shadows.

Its one of the few photos that I left almost "virgin" if you know what I mean. So in a way with my capabilities and lack of equipment I am quite proud of it

Thank you for the nice words on my compositions, it means a lot
