Palais des congrès de Montréal

TL.. still in Montreal .. again an other area of the beautifull *Palais des congrès de Montréal*
English: Montreal Convention Center

This was a little 'surrealistic..
We walked in a long corridor.. the only persons at that time.. and in the middle this chair..sort of 'silent life'

Tech talk:
PS CS3
Res 300 dpi
Colorspace :sRGB
Uncomprerssed
Exposrure: 7.1
Focal length: 18 mm
ISO 1600 (!)
Shutter speed: 1/50
out of hand

White balance : normal
The only eddit I did was the 2 black walls
a little more in black direction
I choosed not to use the sort of 'neat image' aproach but left a little blur... to undeline the soft light


I hope this is fine with you Folks:
Best regards

John T

*******************************************************
ps

Some info about a possible TL meet in Montreal in first or second week of July.
Lucbus; PierreFrigon; Pops71 brought this up

A week Quebec, Montreal ..Quebec City.. and maybe Ottawa ...all possible.

Idea is .. a program from day to day..
One day here another day there.. anyone can join..
and you dont have to join the whole week
To TL friends from Overseas:

Quebec has a lot to show you!!!
The guys there talked about offering a place to sleep..
Motels are also fair in pricing..
Transport by who ever has a car and space..


see this see this see this


Soon more.. give it a thought!

Hi John

I like the graphism, of the brightly illuminated 'T' shape, against the darker bg. Good sharpness, & tfs!

Hi John,
A masterpiece, a John Tulip job.
I like your presentation, shadow and light dance.
Minimalistic but artful design.

Creative presentation, lovely.
Enjoy Life..

Hello John,
First about photo.
I like this subject, and the ambience here. As far as the noise...I see two different results here on two different monitors.
I'm fine with whatever it looks as it is.
One thing I definitely seen, you are very good in such type of mall photos. Keep it on. TFS
Vandana

ps: About the Quebec, yes, the July 1st or second week looks OK to me. Need to know ASAP, so that I can book my tickets.

Nice Composition and POV . I like the colors and light. Regards. Nil.

Hello John.
Mooie compositie van het onderwerp en fijne zachte kleuren.
De ruis had van mij wat minder gemogen, maarja met 1600 iso ?
Groeten van Jan

Hi John,
Splendid moody capture. Seems very mysterious with the 2 black walls! I like the symetry and the frame that you made. TFS
Warm greetings my friend
Pierre

PS: This year is Quebec City 400th anniversary. First colony established in North America. Lot of festivities going on.

Mooi uitgebalanceerd en symmetrisch John ! Goede capture en presentatie. Erg goede belichting ook.
Dus heb ik even langer gekeken, want er moet toch wel WAT aan te merken zijn. En ja hoor. :-)
Het lijntje boven de stoel loopt niet helemaal recht naar boven..... dus staat de foto ietsje scheef. :-) Maar toch minstens 2 punten waard hoor.
groeten,
Joop!

Merhaba Dear John,
Congrats .....! Wonderful lighting show.

Surrealistisch? Nee hoor, de foto niet, althans. Bijna perfecte symmetrie, John... mooi! Toch leuk dat je met 1600 ISO door het downsizen bijna geen last hebt van ruis hé...
Mooi!

Excelente trabajo, centrado, sobrio, bien equilibrado.
Buenos tonos John.

Almost abstract John. Nicely composed, good colour and the slight grain adds that softening you mention. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Dry sclerophyll forest’. Arnhem land would be the closest part of Australia to the old Dutch East Indies John. SHips such as the BAtavia would have passed along that coastline. Full of flies, crocodiles, snakes, buffalo and vast cattle stations measured in many square kilometres.

Hello John:

An original room with this simple but attractive decoration and exactly by being unique emphasizes the chair. A good shot, thanks by showing it and by the explanation.

Hi John,

Inderdaad een stilleven, maar dan wel gevat in heel speciaal licht met een heel ruimtelijk gevoel.

Al een beetje bijgekomen van al dat reizen?

Hi John,

Not an easy work to capture at this low light condition . . eventhough with ISO 1600 is still possible . .
I like the moment and angle you capture it . .
I thought was electric chair . . ha ha . .
Great shot my friend . .

Hello JT

Firstly, I Noted your Quebec program for July with such attractive offer free place to sleep and transport, no one should miss that if happening to be around that region.

Quebec is a great place for scenery and landscape, friendly people, coming to think how they almost broke off Canada's union in 1980s.

The last time I was there spending 10 days driving and camping around, so beautiful summer. Quebec, for those new to it, definitely worth your time, guarantee a lot of great photo opportunity. I liked the street painter artists at the city center, very nice to shoot portraits when the tourists sit still there for the artists to sketch for them.

Well, in this shot, you have shown a nicely captured symmetry of interiors for this convention center, with dark walls and floor giving a nice contrast, suitable to your black framing. And very high ISO1600 to give a little grainy effect!

Nice perception on the visual for this view, John, and great work. Thanks for sharing it.

Cheers, bill
later

What a cool shot, John! Perfectly balanced, a true work of art. It does have a very strange aura to it, like a mystical 'hot seat'....
Since you mention surrealism, maybe look at this one by Dali -
Cheers

An aesthetic sense is advocating an artistic mood in this image where strenght of gold in the deep surrounding is marvellous. Excellent shot my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Interesting shot my friend!Nice work.
