A day at the exhibition

[Cem_Usakligil]

I have shot some pictures at an exhibition hall the other day. I thought that this sequence would form a nice tetraptych.
This is just a trial version, I am not certain about the space between the pictures yet. Also, the color balance needs some work.
I will possibly end up burying it in my archives. So I thought I might as well share it before I change my mind. Enjoy.

Hi Cem,

They make an interesting combination. Maybe one image too many though. The second one shows a person a bit too close (for my comfort) to the edge, and in profile. The other images show the build up, and all people are looking in exactly the same direction as you were and we are now. A growing collective of observation. Four images may also be a bit difficult to overview in one look.

Jut some thoughts, for what it's worth.

Cheers,
Bart

It is a nice tetraptych, but the fourth image appears to be a photoshoped version of the third. That is a bit disturbing.

Hi Bart,

Thanks for your valuable thoughts. I think that you are right about the 2nd image from left. I took it out and made a triptych instead.

PS: it might be worthwhile to point it out that these were taken handheld over a period of 10 minutes.

I see where you are coming from. It was just pure luck that that group of 5 took those chairs while the background remained reasonably static. No photoshopping was done to create new realities.

Cem,

I'd love the entire width of the set to be about 800 pixels so it can be seen without scrolling on my 21" imac.

Cem,

Sequences are revealing, but this a little more reflective than usual. The 4th picture is so strong that it is enough to balance the first 3. I'd have a gap of white space between them. A heavy disturbing presence there!

Not at home Asher so I can't repost soon.
Mind you, ctrl/command and '-' key combination will resize your browser. press ctrl 0 to go back to the normal view afterwards. or ctrl + to upsize.

Thanks, Cem,

That's helpful. I use it in CS5 all the time!!!!!! Command-0 is new to me. Glad I asked.

Hi Cem,

Not because I suggested it, but I do like the triptych version. The increasing number of observers is more exponential, more dynamic.

Another observation is that the bloke at the front is the only one who got closer to the images to inspect the details. It must be a pixel peeping photographer, you know those types, I look at one in the mirror each morning when shaving for the day ...

Cheers,
Bart
