bonjour Maitre,
par avance, aie pitié de mon audace
tu brules presque ce que tu as adoré, mais je t'assure que tu es dans l'erreur
la photo en NB de Pierre est toute belle et il n'y a rien à en ôter ni lui rajouter :
- les lignes de fuites pointent exactement sur le dernier tiers droit, mais aussi le dernier quart "haut", ce qui donne 4 / 3 les quatre tiers qui correspondent au format de l'image : c'est parfait
- un morceau du vélo manquant tout en bas à gauche induit en fait l'idée d'avancement et cette ellipse met le cycliste face au monstre à 26 roues qui arrive en face. on ne distingue d'ailleurs pas toutes les roues de ce gros camion. on distingue la poussière qu'il dégage, sa bestialité brute. au contraire, ce cycliste en progression ne dégage rien de tel derrière lui, ce qui le rend léger, mais aussi aimable.
on a tendance à se placer de son coté, même s'il nous tourne le dos. on se situe d'ailleurs de son coté ...
enfin, dans la moitié droite de la photo, ce sont les grands espaces, obscurcis en grande partie par la poussière, qui est le troisième élément clef de cette photo.
le cycliste casqué face au danger -- le camion se rapprochant comme un fou -- la poussière que devra traverser le cycliste.
comme pour cette petite nana aux bac récemment : note = 21 sur 20.
commenter ainsi une photo, partager et frotter des impressions et commentaires distincts, est sans doute une très bonne chose, dans le fil de toutes les discussions mensuelles. un exercice technique autant que sensible.
je me retire, Maitre, en marche arrière et légèrement courbé. Pourvu que la voix soit libre ..
The theme for this July’s photo contest is:
Bridges of the World
Vasco da Gama Bridge in Lisbon
Here’s the definition of a bridge: “A structure, typically made of stone, wood, or metal, that spans a depression or obstacle (such as a transportation route or waterway) by connecting the two sides or crossing over the obstacle.”
Viaducts, aqueducts, and footbridges will all be accepted.
Millau Viaduct
To allow for as many original photos as possible, the bridge can be photographed from the side, below, or above—the main thing is that it’s the focal point of the image.
Bridge in the Algarve
Pont du Gard from below
Details are also welcome, as long as you can still recognize it’s a bridge 😊
Brooklyn Bridge
Practical details:
Participation: Each VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Sunday, 26/07 at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3). Don’t forget to add a little explanation (comment, location, etc.).
Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.
Voting will take place from Monday, 27/07 to Friday, 31/07 at 11:59 PM Paris time.
Selected photos should be listed in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point
The winner is the photographer whose photo receives the most points.
