I'm back from Bris-Vegas. Visited the Gallery

Meysha · Oct 6, 2005

Helloooo everyone!
I've just gotten back from Brisbane this evening and spent a while editing all my photos. I had the best time down there, catching up with Age again, and also doing the dreaded interview... which went 'ok' btw. But I can never tell how those things go... but we'll see.

Anyway, Adrian and I spent the whole time together having fun, eating great food, listening to awesome music, drinking verrry nice wine, and also hanging out at the brisbane art gallery. :mrgreen:

So of course, with thanks to our resident 'line' photographer, Joe, for the inspiration, I took these photos of the roof of the Gallery.

1.

2.

Played around with the white balance on this, even more after I took it using the wrong setting.

3. I thought this looked really cool. Makes the chikky look massive. It's actually a projection onto the wall next to where the couple are standing.

4. Some more projected images. That completely messed with your mind when you watched them. It's too hard to explain, but it was awesome. And we were the only ones in the gallery so we just had fun tripping out!

5. And my personal favourite. I was actually going to enter this in the juxtaposition competition, but I didn't realise it had already finished. :-( meh. This is Adrian enjoying some weird abstracty painting on the other wall. But I just couldn't help myself. I thought this was soo funny.

So of course I'm all sad :-( coz I had to leave age in brisbane, but he's coming up here on monday for a week... yay :cheer: ... and we're both going to a friend's wedding! Yay!

Thanks for having a look, and if you've got any comments or critiques please feel free to leave em here. Ta! :hug::

Looks like you had a good time. I really like the first and last images, especially the last image.

How'd I miss this :?: I like 1 & 2, but also really like the last one!

The last one is very much my favourite, thought I also like how you were inspired by clarinet-Joe, our "lines-specialist" of this board. You did really, really well with regards to the gallery ceiling!!!
The photographed projection does give me funny feelings, even here... but I think I can't even come close to feeling how it really felt to be in that room with the varying projections yourselves... I should really force myself to go out more (spend less time commenting on people's photos here on TPF!!!!!!!!) and see some CULTURE (erm.. this sounds... wrong in a way, but... you know? Hamburg and its galleries and the big zoo, the port, the ships, cranes, container storage spaces and all that are not really so VERY far away!!!! I COULD go out more!)

Thanks Eric and Jake aswell! Glad you enjoyed them.

I love the last two meysha.

The tones in both are very relaxing and the compos are great.
Nice work.

JonMikal · Oct 7, 2005

my fav is the last. well done!

clarinetJWD · Oct 7, 2005

Those first two look familiar

I really like the color and texture of the first. One suggestion- I don't know how much PS work you usually do, but I would try to correct the distortion near the bottom. IMO, it would make it a lot better. The last is my fav too

jadin · Oct 7, 2005

The last one is spectacular!

Meysha · Oct 7, 2005

hehe Yeah I noticed that Joe, but I was just too lazy and tired to fix it up. Thanks for dropping in to see them!

And thanks again everyone else for your comments. I'm thinking of printing that last one and giving it to the boyfriend as a pressie!
