Photographer’s Note

Musician (5 / 5)
----------------
"Remembering Elvis?"

Perhaps it is utopian writing, but to make this shot, I just came to mind, a legendary image of one of the precursors of Rock'Roll: Elvis A. Presley, not because the character of the sculpture represents her identity, but because the position in which it finds itself, by the dynamism that radiates artistic expressiveness of this work.

I am convinced that this series, which conclude today, should have been less kind of photographic flaws, for the excesses of light, which caused me difficulties to dominate, and thus avoid areas' burned ', but the goal of representing a cultural aspect and artistic within a city that gives you honor, has been met.

Friends, John

Bueno, John, te felicito.

Esta es una de las mejores series que he visto por aquí (incluso mejor que las apaños que yo hago) y la verdas es que creo que como tema merece un 10, incluso con los problemillas técnicos que has tenido para manejar la luz.
A Elvis lo vi el otro día en el supermercado... me dio recuerdos para ti! jajaja...

Un abrazo y enhorabuena por las 5 fantásticas capturas que has hecho. Jordi

A very nice one in this series. The lighting here is quite nice. I can tell it must have been hard to photograph these, but you did a fine job, and the subjects were very interesting! TFS and have a great day!

hola john

i agree, technically not one of your best shots (the sky seems quite exaggerated), but it sure serves well as a highlight of columbian culture. that sculpture garden seems impressive.

warm regards,
kristaps

Hi John,
Again a really good photo of one of those sculptures of musicians. The colours are well saturated and very appealing, and also the light is fine. Very well done!

Hola John,
nice your last dedication to the anonymous musicians with this guitarist statue that contrasted perfect with the other colors of the scene.I like the brilliant light that is spread in the area as the vivid colors.The pose is nice and the sharpness unique.Informative your note.

Regards,Danos

avene (10894) 2008-06-04 4:41

hello John,
difficult shot for sure, the statue is completely in shadow while the clouds are very bright, it would be interesting to calculate the dynamic range of the scene. but I think you managed quite well, I particularly like the intricate guitar where the wire mesh is clearly defined.
and I agree with what you say in your note about the Elvis-like posture of the statue :) it was a nice series, I enjoyed the photos.

with best regards,
Kristine

Hi, John,
I have really enjoyed this series and under such difficult lighting conditions, you did an excellent job. I really like the composition in this and the contrast of the warm bricks and the dark sculpture. The sky backs it up beautifully and the colors are wonderful. REALLY nice work! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

This statue is really funny and interesting. A lot of energy, of moves... The close crop & pov are the reason of this effect. Very well seen.

Hola John,
otra buena toma para finalizar esta corta pero magnífica serie.
La foto tiene la fuerza que consigues darle con un encuadre muy bien equilibrado y un gran trabajo con la luz y los colores, que dan un excelente resultado estético, al combinar con elegancia la escultura, la ciudad y un cielo maravillosamente decorado de nubes blancas.
Bello trabajo, amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep
