Passing by

As I was leaving work today, I passed by the window of the building/room where people had some kind of a carving class. I actually waved my camera at them "asking" if I could take a picture, and they laughed, agreed and went on with their work. Strong reflections from the pavement, but I am posting it anyway, as I didn't and I won't have time for any other pics today :) I hope the subject would be fun enough by itself.

Cool shot of a cool class. Love the backstory!!!

[Julienne Jones]

That is really atmospheric - the reflections make the pic even more interesting

[Swillin' Billy Flynn]

Looks like an interesting class. I wonder what they are making.

A good photon always poses questions. :)

[Derek Vickers]

Lovely tones. A super subject Vera. Well spotted and captured.

[Corinne]

Makes an interesting candid !

[Ann Williams]

You have captured the concentration of this lady so well.

[KWind]

Very cool! Nice shot!

[Hilary]

They look very intense in what they are doing. Good shot.

Привет,
Что с кожей? Отражение стекла или неудачный превод в ЧБ? Что интересно, на тарелке нет его.

Thank you all, I'll take that idea that the reflection all over makes it an interesting shot! I'll call it "artsy"! :) But I agree... it definitely raises questions. Thank you all for viewing and commenting!



And thank you, random people, for letting me to take picture of your without you smiling into the camera. @chauncygirl @julienne1 @swillinbillyflynn @derekvickers @cocobella @flowerfairyann @kwind @hilarymeme

Привет, Сева.
Аааа - что с кожей! Да там в оригинале почти вообще ничего не было видно, только зелень отражений и пятна на всем. Такие у них окна чистые и отражательные. С моими "глубокими" познаниями в обработке фотографий (или скорее методом непроинформированного нажимания на разные кнопки) получилось убрать их только путем наращивания контраста - то есть пятна, в том числе на лице, остались. Оригинал был очень "грязный". А на тарелке и правда - нету.

A picture that tells a story

[Danette Thompson]

Actually, the reflections provide a texture. I like it, especially in black and white.

@vera365 как в ЧБ переводили?

[Vera]

@roulin
А так просто - кнопочкой в iPhoto :)

[Nova]

Great eye! I like it. :)

[roulin]

@vera365 А! Действительно просто... Давайте эксперимент - пришлите мне оригинал, а я его попробую исправить. [e-mail].

[Vera]

Thank you, Susie, Danette and Nova! I really hesitated - passed by them one time, and thought - that would be a good shot for today. Got in a car and then made myself go back :) @susie1205 @danette @novab

[Leigh Anne Sanderson]

I like the reflections and what a great shot!

[Barbara Webb]

I love candid shots - this is great!

[De]

Such a unique capture. The processing makes it so wonderful.

[Vera]

Thank you very much, Leigh, Barbara and De! Sorry it took me so long to react to this. I wish I knew more about the processing though - not to take away the reflections, but just to clean it up a bit. But I guess, with the story behind it, it worked anyway.
