Description cindy and jimmy


mary

----this is not a line drawing or a vector - this is a couple's silhouette shot underexposed in front of a white sheet with white backlighting behind the sheet and a black and white umbrella. in photoshop i played with levels to play out the contrast till completely clean

i may have another 1 or 2 of these experimental silhouettes we did to submit

enjoy is simplicity

I *do* enjoy its simplicity... What a great photograph and concept. I wanted to thank you actually, for putting up this picture, because it just brings so much pure delight and pleasure to me. I adore it! **My first favourite**
...I'd say more, but it seems everyone's said what I had in mind... so clean, and aw, the way they're gazing at each other... It makes me so jealous that I don't have such great portraits with my man... *grrr, seriously...

So perhaps, on a rainy day, there's always your other half to share an umbrella with?

devilicious In reply to deadpossum [2004-07-21 20:40:16 +0000 UTC]

oh for sure. those other prints i have were done with a much smaller camera so i had no choice on print sizes if i wanted good quality

deadpossum In reply to devilicious [2004-07-23 14:50:20 +0000 UTC]

what should i look for when i'm buying a camera? i bought a digi one recently from officemax but it takes soooo long between photo's and the auto flash tend to be too bright.

i say go to [link] and check them all out. and ask on a photography forum here on DA. i say 5 megapixl, manual functions available, a decent zoom and macro.

your romantic couple reminds me of a childsprogram that runs in belgium...it is called tik-tak and it used to have a total black figurine doing stuff...i guess this image gives me melancholic feelings

+beeing under an umbrella with your lover just gives that extra intimacy, it cuts the couple of from it's environment...it kind of "frames" them... so great composition
