Steve, I am pleased to meet another lover of those musicians (and, possibly this album). As you guessed my blog entry was not about the music (for which, I do not consider myself knowledgeable enough, to say the least).
It was on the resultant effect of the design of the CD cover. Basically, the "play" with the typing/font selection. The cover is read "practically" as "Missoury Sky". Without the design considerations, the title of the CD should read "Beyond The Missoury Sky. Short Stories". I was commenting on the changes occurring in the meaning of words as plain text vs as design elements. In this example, they seem to mean almost the opposite; "Missoury Sky" vs "Beyond The Missoury Sky". I believe this is already a well known, properly analyzed (and manipulated) phenomenon. The album is, by the way, has been a treat for my ears. It still is and will surely remain so... ------------- The photo, now. > i wonder if they are really comparatively so dark, >or is this due to deemphasizing green in the conversion? The leaves were dark green but certainly not as dark as I wanted them to look in the final monochrome image. I did some burning and I also increased the contrast. Part of the operations were done in lab color space. The final version fits "only" to my previsualization; all resemblance to reality (whatever that might have been) is incidental! This is probably a rather complicated way of admitting that I know they don't look natural :) Bulent --------------------------------------------------------------------- http://patoloji.gen.tr http://celasun.wordpress.com/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bc_the_path/ http://photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2226822 http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/bulentcelasun 2014-03-03 21:28 GMT+02:00 steve harley <[email protected]>: > on 2014-03-02 12:31 Bulent Celasun wrote > >> In monochrome. >> >> Because, life is. >> >> http://celasun.wordpress.com/ > > > a photo that brings out a lot of the plant, and makes me curious what the > plant is -- pretty unusual, chard-like foliage for such an elegant flower > > i don't mind the composition at all, as the leaves are a great contrast, but > i wonder if they are really comparatively so dark, or is this due to > deemphasizing green in the conversion? > > ... > > since you linked to your blog as a whole, i noticed the Metheny/Haden album > below; two of my favorite musicians (seeing Metheny on Friday); i tried > translage.google.com, and got a sense that you are critiquing the album > cover, its design, words and images, but the point did not come across - i > wonder if you would summarize in English? > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and > follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
