Creativity and Failure
#3

LOL Don, you've been slumming at ph*tosig again, eh? Big Grin

Well I was just thinking about you while I was visiting another photo site. Someone had posted a shot taken in low light with the ISO 1600 setting on their camera, so as could be expected there was a bit of sensor noise - but for the most part the image was pretty good. No less than three "reviewers" criticised the poster for not having run the image through noise reduction software. Obviously these people have never seen high-speed film grain before, and have no appreciation for anything other than the obviously-digital, oversharpened, VHS-like images that have become too prevalent.

And I thought, what would the image look like if Don had shot it from his bus? Would the noise be part of "the message?" And what's wrong with that, anyway? Would he posterize the colors? Or desaturate them? Would anyone in that forum "get" his unique vision, if they couldn't even "get" something like what has already been posted?

I don't often comment on your pics because, as I see them, they are part of a broader "theme" or story that you present in bits and pieces. But I generally find them interesting, if not for the specific subject or the lighting, then for the presentation.

Cheers,
