Hmmm... thanks, I'll think about it.

No, nothing commercial. After all the landscapes and buildings I just felt like taking pictures of people for a change. ;-) I really like to look at good portraits, but taking them myself is difficult for me and I don't have much experience.

I also had to think of Martin Kollar!

Well I think there are similarities in subject matter between my picture (and the ones I recently uploaded) and Look at the Future but while Tomas Pospech's is a documentary project mine is not. At least I don't see it that way.

I am not too excited about Pospech's series. The concept sounds good: The culture inside multinational companies - this is something which I find very interesting and which could potentially also be an interesting topic to explore in a photo project. But I agree with Doug that the actual result in Posepch's case is kind of lacking.

Much better I liked his Castle Owners series. :-)

Thanks for explaining, Tomas!

Tomas Rihosek, what do you mean by "pundit picture"?

Ondrej, you're right. By coherence in post-processing I didn't mean using the same colours, but rather a sort of consistency regarding contrast and general "feel". But I also agree with Tomas (Szepe), this is no general rule which applies all the time.

Who?

Thanks, I'll think about that. For some time now I think I should add some other colours, right now there's lots of similar colours in all these pictures, green, blue, brown... I'm sarting to grow tired of those. I need different colours to diversify a bit, like the red in the one picture (vertical, buildings with clouds). At the same time I think I also need to establish some coherence in post-processing... Well, these things are not easy, but I think crucial for a series to be succesful. But you know this yourself. ;-)

Yeah, right... ;-) But seriously, I want to figure out what to do with those pictures, if they could fit in a series or not or wether to include others etc.

You think on this dark background the contrast looks a bit... too much?

Thanks, again. Silvia, no problem about your association. ;-)

Thanks everyone!

Doug, yes, I feel the same. And no, I didn't do much at all in post-processing, just minor colour and contrast adjustments. I think it was as Tomas said, the light was reflected from the ground and the building and it was slightly filtered to begin with, the sky was a bit hazy.

By the way, about the 6x7 format. The camera I use actually produces negatives which are closer to a 4x5 aspect ratio. By now I have really learned to like this format a lot, but it took me quite some time to get used to it. You have to compose differently compared to 35mm.

Yes, I think you're right. I think there is a certain sterile feeling to the whole picture.

Maybe because it's so "clean"?

Hmmm... interesting. I think it looks a bit that way. I wonder why?

Tomas, what do you mean by "like a render"?

Sorry Tomas I know the lines are jagged again. ;-)

Sorry, I forgot to reply here... An attempt of an explanation: The snow picture is kind of the center of this small set for me. The first picture corresponds in a graphic way, the shape of the earth covered by the snow reminds me of the foliage "covering" the sky or vice versa. The colours in the third picture are very monochrome and bright, and in a way it's also about things covering other things, so this is my connection to the snow picture. And yes there are bottom left to top right diagonals in all three pictures. I am aware though these connections are probably quite far-fetched and I might be the only one to "get" them. ;-)

Doug, thanks for the suggestion. In fact I went back to this place yesterday to take some more pictures, but the weather wasn't as nice. I also passed the place where I took the third picture and I think it might not be possible to back up enough to take a vertical picture. But I'll try it nevertheless next time I'll go there.

Thanks, people! You're probably right and the third picture doesn't quite fit in this set. I think it's also an ok photo, but the other two are too different.

I'll try to take more pictures in this area. I was lucky to find the place and lucky to have nice light and clouds. Also I happened to be there on a Saturday, no people around.
