[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
yes, the photographer in the foreground is just a pretext for the scene in the background. it isn't a directed picture, me too I was a pretext for degetica, who wanted to shoot the same scene I posted yesterday (the girls in black). I wonder if she succedded, because it was a difficult angle...

you know, when something interesting is near you, but you just cannot take the picture because you are too close, you should ask your imagination... and, in this case, two photographers can make better job insead one:))

I didn't photograph the scene from anca's yesterday post :), for my 50mm it was too crowded :)

hm, bun pretext !

v

Good shot! An image with 2 very distinct layers. Obviously, the fun is happening in the background! Nice B&W conversion.

Interesting idea, good exposure but I think not the best framing; the right side is a bit distracting; the photographer catches too much attention against the couple which is not advantaged by the clothes, a bit camouflaged in landscape…
I’d move the framing few degrees to left and use a longer focal length.
I’d try a variant with blurred photographer just for comparison.

i see sabina is shooting a lot of film these days :) going though a film phase i guess :P that explains her not posting photos these past week or so :)

i like the idea here of sabina being the pretext :) i think it would also work...maybe even better if it was the other way round :)

The note reinforces the image - TFS :)

Lol, nice trick indeed, Anca; on the other hand, it really looks like your subjects were so preoccupied that you could very easily have walked up to them and take a couple of close-ups without them ever noticing ;o). It's nice to see degetica too, of course.

Faina idee, imi place! Cred ca era mai bine sa apropii imaginea cu cei doi si sa o lasi putin afara si nu in focus pe degetica, asta daca ii voiai pe ei ca subiect. WS lui claudiu imi place.
