Re: solo by the Seine... 44

Of course, you're right Ted, and I'm on my way back to Paris... toot sweet... yeah I wish...

Well I actually did want this decisive moment, however I wanted the guy closer... being a practical person...I got what I could when I could,

'cus per the social director time to head back for drinks and dinner...

As for boats and couples, yes, that's another image...

I just wanted this guy alone.... a little more prominent, yes......but alone

(btw he was playing the trumpet...  :-)   )

oh well next time....


your comments as always, immensely appreciated, I am thankfull ....

ahhhh Paris, just a few weeks ago...<,,,


Hi Steve,
As much as I like the overall feel of the picture, the soloist is too far away from your camera position.

Because when I first looked, my re-action was,... "What the heck is he talking about, solo?" And it wasn't until I began looking tighter and tighter at the picture did I find the soloist and I understood what your title meant. However, the guy is too small. How about if one could re-shoot ;-) yeah right. :-) And we put the soloist in the 2nd or 3rd sun light area from the foreground and you went vertical as one thought?

But in this situation I'd definitely shoot horizontal and vertical just in case later on the light table, one could decide which had the best visual effect and composition.

Another first re-action was..... "where the hell is the boat Steve?" As I felt the water area was too big and empty and really needed something in it, one of those tour boats or small commercial vessels cruising along would be about right. But not too close to the camera position.

And a couple or single person, naw this is Paris and that's the city of couples. So a couple it is, reaching the top of the stairs on the way up or down, but just caught in the sunlight at the top. In either they'd be silhouetted anyway.

Actually this is one of those locations where you need extra time on your hands to wait for the HCB "DECISIVE MOMENT!" The location has great potential and there are many different photo situations just waiting for the "extras" to do there walk on moment.

HCB would find a spot like this and merely wait for the extras to fall into the right decisive moment!
