Walking to the Sky

[dmstraton]

This is an installation in the Nasher Museum in Dallas, TX. Jonathan Borofsky's Walking to the Sky (if I remember rightly). Used 50 1.4, circular polaroid filter, a bit of unsharp mask and levels adjustment. I really like the composition, but want some feedback. I used the last person mounted on the stainless steel beam to form a V at the top and imagined another line in mirror image to the beam to balance it out. Cloud was ready for their "departure". My downsample isn't so hot, but the picture I have is very sharp, with only a tinge of noise I think due to the filter more than anything as I haven't experienced it before.

Please, I am new at this so want some criticism.

I love it, That is soooo cool. Try to take it standing on the right side of the pole, this way it comes in the picture at the bottom left and points to the top right.

That is a great idea, my wife told me to do it and unfortunately the sun was not my friend from that angle...a morning shot would have fixed that (it was mid afternoon), but here is the cruddy result.

Nope, your right the lighting isn't working in that shot and neither is the angle or zoom. Stick with the first or just keep trying it at different angles. I t really is a cool subject to shoot and remember being that theres no horizon behind it you can tilt and turn your camera on any angle to get different aspects of it. The color and lighting on the first one is very good.

[dmstraton]

Thought you'd agree! I did do a couple of other angles, but the first showed the most promise...good point on the horizon, I chimped a few shots and then realized exactly that...it gave me some freedom...

Just out of curiousity. How big is that?
