War cemeteries are a very inspiring photographic subject for me. Last thursday I visited the American War cemetery in Henri-Chapelle (Belgium). I didn't have my camera with me but fortunately my sister brought a very simple compact camera. Quite some lens errors had to be corrected (and the image still suffers from it). What do you think of the final result?  |

I think including that lone person walking away makes this image, nice and simple with good lines leading you towards that doorway.

Let me try to drop a few lines on this photograph and let my mind flow...  I do like the photograph even if I would have corrected more the verticality of the columns mainly at the sides. As a side note let me repeat what I said the other day somewhere here, something like this: it is very easy to be sitting and criticize the images of others. Now I add: this lazy exercise however, makes us to think and be more careful when taking a photograph. The Architecture here is very sad/sober and it breaths sadness and pain with a bit of militar austerity. If we accept this as a beginning - I know I miss here the right word - or a start point/idea we have to transmit that idea. OK you tell me: no, on the contrary. And I would tell you that you are right. But let's assume my point of view for the time being. So, the photograph should be perfect in terms of composition, as strict and ruled as militaries are suposed to be and would be even kind of agressive. This is in terms of composition. Some distortions can be done to obtain such an image but the human figure may be a problem or not depending on your skills on the adequate software. On the technical aspect the problem is easy to solve: just "run away" to a treatment which doesn't need so much, no sorry, to a treatment which s not so demanding and can disguise the so called imperfections. How ? I do not know now. Shame on me  To end: the human figure with a bag ? No. Couldn't she appear in movement like a ghost ? A ghost from the past... Then a man would be more suitable... Oh I am overdoing now. I end here |
