Thanks for looking and taking the time to comment, Bob! I tried hard to follow the pace of the music, because I thought that synchronising the two would give a more coherent experience. The beat of the music turned out to be a little too fast for comfortable transitions, but if it makes you want a second run I guess it can't be that bad...:-)
When doing the shoot, I already had a slide show in mind. I realised early on that knots would be a central part of the show, simply because that's where most of the interesting structure happens. Both in terms of colour and shapes. Shifting between landscape and portrait formats was a concious decision brought on by the fear that the range of compositions would be too repititous with all of the shots in landscape orientation. I'll see what I can do about providing an environment shot. :-) Best, Jostein ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Sullivan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2006 6:41 PM Subject: Re: PESO - wood structures > I'll add after my second viewing of the show that the colors and > shapes are very soothing.
