did some test shots today for a year long project photographing a documentry series on a theatre and it performers, this is the piano Jimmy Carr used last night. the images are supposed to be very dark and moody,

Like the idea but its far too dark for me I cant see anything

[lifethrualens]

Dark and moody it certainly is, interesting shot.

As can I.

Yes I can see them, but I still feel its far too dark to get any mood etc from it.

thanks for your comments, to be honest i like this look for this piece, William Eugene Smith used to have the same comments, but like me he felt it worked for where his work was heading, and i can tell you i dont mind following that man.lol

Hmmm....interesting. I was looking at this earlier and I totally agreed with the "too dark" comments. I run dual screens on my main PC here and earlier I had it on the 'primary' screen since re-opening Firefox I have moved it to the second screen. Now the image is much lighter and I really like it.

Just shows how much of an impact the monitor makes. I'm starting to think I have mine the wrong way around!

Well could have the monitor argument all night but Ive tried it on 3 well calibrated monitors and still feel its too dark so that'll have to just be my opinion lol

hey theres nothing wrong with that, your opinion is right to you, if we all had the same opinion then ART would simply not exsist, i gotta admit i wasnt too sure about it at first, because it was very dark, but although this is no where near a finished piece, i think this is the direction i need to go, we exibit in jan 09

Dark and moody works for me. Interesting the difference in peoples perceptions. Perhaps if I calibrated my screen I would not like it either.

I see the piano of course but faint detail in the theatre, which to my mind is al the performer would see.

Good one
