Something In The Air - 3/3
Posted by Florence (Paris, France) on 1 August 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
...
We used what we could
To get the things we want
But we lost each other on the way
I guess you know I never wanted
anyone more than you
Lived all our best times
Left with the worst
I've danced with you too long
Say what you will
But there's something in the air
...

wow!just master piece!
is it hdr or otherwise raw shot?
I really want to know!

@Kasra: No HDR here, but yes, it's raw shot, I've added some orton effet and filters and then turned to JPG format.
Dulcie from Danville, United States
Yes, a masterpiece! The intricacies of the machine and the Ferris wheel are wonderful contrasts to the simple, straight lines of the riders swinging outward. Lovely that you have subdued the color just slightly (I think.)

Donc, j'avais bien raison de ne pas choisir hier, je les aime toutes pour de différentes raisons : la première pour son coté pissenlit dans la lumière avec ces grands "cils" merveilleux ; la deuxième (attends, j'y retourne :) pour le velouté roux et l'impression qu'au fond de l'image les gens volent sans suspension, et cette troisième d'aujourd'hui pour l'apparition des nuages pommelés, les vignettes plus lisibles, visages de reines or whoever, sous les joues du manège et cette teinte particulière (ce vert-là, ce rouge-là, ensemble) alors que tout, au bout de la mini-série, s'éclaire. Bravo et grand merci pour ces trois merveilleux tours gratuits !

Jeremie from St-Etienne - Paris, France
Comme pré-senti hier, il est en effet difficile de choisir la meilleure... Bravo pour cette belle série et, encore une fois, pour ces superbes traitements !! Au fait, où se trouve ce beau carrousel ?
1 Aug 2009 11:21am
@Jeremie: En remontant la rue de Rivoli vers le Louvre, tu l'aurais trouvé ! Elle est située entre le Louvre et le Jardin des Tuileries, tu étais juste à côté !

marianne from Toulouse, France
Pour le clin d'oeil à David Bowie : 5*****
Et pour la photo, sans hésitation, celle que je préfère, donc encore 5 stars pour toi !!!
Les deux autres traitements sont magnifiques, mais que j'aime ce cadrage, cette impression d'envol et d'envergure !!! on pourrait croire que les personnages vont sauter sur l'autre manège !!!! hop un peu d'acrobatie trapèze volant .....
à droite la coupe ivoire, et sur la gauche un bracelet élégant, c'est fabuleux !!!!
excellente journée, bisous !

Another fantastic shot! I love how the swings seem to almost be touching the ferris-wheel on the left. Excellent processing and I love that song!
1 Aug 2009 1:30pm
@bluechameleon: Hello Sharon, reading your former com, I'm impatient to see what you're going to offer us with a wheel ! That's great. I'll wait then. :-)

Neat lyrics. It's fascinating how dramatically the processing changes the entire mood of a photograph.

As much as I loved yesterdays...this is gorgeous in that I can see the beautiful pictures and colors of the center column of the swings....Perfect as only you can do it :)

Lambspun from Madison, Maine, United States
Wow.....really not sure what shot I liked best out of the three...hmmmmmmm.......It was a toss up between day 2 and day 3 so far! Day 2 I loved the softness and the color......Day 3 I loved the beautiful detail popping out at us......I would have to say that my favorite so far is.............DAY 3!!!

Bravo Florence tu as fais monter la pression avec< tes deux première photo du manège et cette dernière en est l'aboutissement , la plus belle à mon gout

Last night I had a dream like this and still I am in the air and my head is light!!! I think its because I had a sleeping pill ...... and you know, from the beginning of my sleep till I wake up I was in the air between earth and sky and rolling from side to side . nice shot

Victory! Kingdom is restored once again to its glorious stage...
A little bit lonely with few empty chairs whose owners lost their lives fighting to protect the kingdom...
A somewhat less happy ending... (that's my 3 battles to save the kingdom :-))

Magical, the best of the three images.
There is a prayer alert for Tammy-Cricket. See Viewfinder or my site.

Aurore from Paris, France
Je ne découvre cette série que maintenant, les trois d'un coup, wow... ! Quel beau triptyque ! J'aime cette luminosité très douce ici - même si les contrastes poussés sur les précédentes me plaisent aussi - mais cette image-là est une invitation au rêve ! Large envol poétique teinté d'une certaine sérénité. Bravo bravo et, bravo :)

Je crois que c'est ma préférée de la série. La grande roue à gauche de la photo vient ajouter de la dimension et de la profondeur à la photo. Très belle réalisation.

J'aime la composition, la luminosité et le ton. Photographie fantastique.

I love how you have processed this one. the colours and hues are just great. (It's just too bad the ferris wheel is in background on the left side, but I guess there's not much you could do about that.)

Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
I would say that this one is my favorite processing. There is some surrealism in this almost real image.

Jannet from Goeree Overflakkee, Netherlands
Wow, this one I really like! It's wonderful, the silhouettes, the details and the clouds at the background. Magnifique!

Is this post-processed? What did you do to obatin that shades, sharpness and lights???
Just stunning, Florence
