Behind the Scene and how to come to an happy result !

POLEMIC behind a photo ... behind the scenes in two ways !


Just to tell you...I love you. by =Yukkabelle on deviantART

 Oh Well I am a little bit frustrated today.

My photo : Just to tell you ... I love you was not accepted by one of the groups where I belong on the DeviantArt site.
(this group is French, I will traduct after)
 Éviter de poster vos ID, vos photos de famille, celles de vos animaux de compagnie ou de vos vacances. Sauf si vous avez fait une photo de valeur artistique : vous avez travaillé la composition, l'angle de vue, lumière... etc. 
Raison : Vous avez plein de médias pour partager ces photos (par exemple : Facebook, Flickr) et les personnes qui vont les regarder risquent d'être plus intéressées par celle-ci que les membres du groupe.

Merci de la respecter,

xxx 

In English : 
Avoid to post your ID, your family photos, those of your your holiday or pets. Except if you made an artistic photograph of value: you worked the composition, the visual angle, light… etc 
Reason: You have full  media to divide these photographs (for example: Facebook, Flickr) and the people who will look at them may to be more interested by this one than the members of the group. 
Thank you to respect it,
xxx


Oh Yes I feel so upset about this, so I send a note to the sender :

In French of course, my anwser :
Bonjour,
A quelle photo faites-vous allusion ? celle de mon ID ?
C'est une image qui m'a pris beaucoup de temps à réaliser. Et surtout à régler la lumière et la parfaite ouverture à cause du miroir
C'est un concept étudié : c'est le reflet au sens propre et figuré de mon travail dans un vieux miroir :
- décors antiques, furet, complicité avec le sujet, et mon appareil
Si vous me connaissiez ou suiviez mon travail, vous auriez compris !
Dommage que mon travail est été perçu autrement

J'ai classé cette photo ID pour pouvoir la mettre sur ma page profile au même titre que celle-ci [link] qui était toute aussi réfléchie.

Je ne poste jamais rien de non songé ou non artistique sur ce site, sauf dans mon scrapbook.
Marie-Agnes


In English : 


Hello, 
Which photograph do you refer about? that one of my ID? 
It is an image which me took so much time to realize. And especially to regulate the light and the perfect Aperture because of the mirror. 
It is a studied concept : It is the reflection  in the literal and figurative sense  of my work in an old mirror:
- antique decorations, ferret,  complicity with the subject, and my camera.
If you know me or follow my work, you would have understood ! 

It's a pity that my work is perceived differently

I classified this photo ID to be able to put it on my  profile as well as this one   [link] which was quite as considerately done. I never post anything not thought or not artistic on this site, except in my scrapbook. Marie-Agnes

So the answer to my note was :


Celle-ci [link] .
Je suis dés
olée, elle a été considéré plus comme une photo personnelle qu'une photo artistique. Je sais que les valeurs de ce qui est artistique ou pas est différent d'une personne à l'autre. L'autre photo PASSION serait accepté par contre.
Bonne journée,

xxx


So in English
This one [link]    . I am sorry, it was regarded more as one personal photograph  than an artistic photograph. I know that the values of what is artistic or not is different from a person to another.
The other photo PASSION would be accepted on the other hand.
Good day,
xxx

**************************************************************************

Ok SO :  Except if you made an artistic photograph of value: you worked the composition, the visual angle, light… etc  ((they said in their rules ))

Behind the scene, the not worked composition, visual angle, light ... etc ... of my photo  

After to place the mirror in the way my backstop on the opposite wall can be reflected on it, I tried to place the flash in the right  direction (must to think about mirror and reflect of flash ) :

Still testing the light and camera position (portrait or landscape)" I am still not pleased with the result here

Ok testing body position, to be more on the light:
Na, that is so ugly must to adjust the distance, my tripod and the camera angle

LoL : ok TOO much UP !

Ok starting to make sens but something still wrong, too much celling ... Hello Soleil the cat !

Ok the distance seems good, not enough lighting, and the camera isn't on level

What Nahum will look now ! :


I loved this one, but ... (I choose another one, showing more complicity between Nahum & me) ... but not so happy with the focus and light

So working the focus, and working the composition, put my camera in landscape position,
I will have less celling, and more of us :

Hum now need to pay attention to my body height for no to have the flash reflecting bad on us, I must to me more down :

AWWWW PERFECT ! YEAH !!! But it miss somebody there !!!! :

Oh nooo, Nahum has his head hidden ! :

LoL : Kisses during the work, isn't always easy to handle :

This one is so cute too, but we are to high. I think I should have done a better work with the flash en light without to have problem reflection in the mirror, but well well well ... :

Oh I love this one too :

FINISH !!! My Famous Model is tired and want to go ... :



ENJOY ! my NON-Artistic work !

Red Passion



I wanted to do something with red palette color ...

I don't remember how long I have worked on the set up for to be finally happy with the result.

And here are the backstage ... LoL ... ENJOY !!!

 
  
  
The red was too dull so I added a white transparent curtain...
 
Still not wat I wanted, too red, too dull, too empty... I looked on my material and remember I have a backdrop almost transparent with plenty spots on it... I installed it front of the red sheet

 
Hummm, really better...
Hahaha... just too funny, very artistic socks !
I found the burgundy curtain under Nahum not enough fine, so I changed it for a shirt of mines ;)

 
 
 People ask how I do for to make my ferrets stay still long enough for photograph them.
As you can see Nahum moves too ... lol ....

 

Red Passion is available in many print sizes, canvas, wrapped canvas, art block frame, coasters, mouse pad, magnets, greeting cards, postcards, puzzle and mugs on Deviantart :

I am entering in a competition ... again ...

Well it will be not the first time I am entering in competitions and contests.
Never won though  .... 2 honorable mentions ....
I won an Award in last October with my photo titled Imagine, but it was a total surprise because I didn't entered it in any competitions. You see sometimes ... how is Life !

Well I took a break, it is always hard on the mood ....  but the destiny made me to enter again.

Well the competition is about the High Key technique photography...
This means photos without deep shadows and usually low contrast.
Follow this link to the wikipedia article : High-key lighting or read this article on idigitalphoto.com to get an impression on what high-key photography is.

And well what  photo I just submitted ? .....   : Pluie d'Amour 
This photo is a perfect example of High-key lighting technique.
We will see.... I love this photo so much ....
I have submit it to some artistic photos groups I belong, and one of the group declined my photo, because : the nose was not on focus and the head was a little too much over-exposed.

Well I have explained the purpose of the photo, and my attempt to make only the eyes of Nahum stand out, by flooded all around with high lighting, using lamps, and high ISO on my camera,  and focusing only on the eyes, with a short DOF for to have all the rest of the image fuzzy ....

Anyway....
I don't expect to win, but it always funny to see I am always the only one to come with ferrets in photos competitions ... LoL...




















If you want to see the photography in bigger resolution click on the image above, to go to the DeviantArt page and  then click again on the image to see it full view, you will see those beautiful ferret eyes !


ENJOY !

Ferret DIVA photography



Updates on Nahum and lil Bear :
Nahum has stopped to cough !
On last Tuesday both have seen their regular vet. She didn't saw them since November.
She was sad to see how Nahum's health has dropped.
She said to keep comfortably until his last journey. For now he has no pain and still enjoy little things of life.
The vet thinks perhaps I have 6 other months to live with Nahum if all stay like this.
6 months I must to enjoy plentifully ... If Nahum gives to me really those 6 months, I will be so thankful :)

She said also the bloody sentence, that one day I will must to be fair for Nahum.
I must to prepare myself. I prepare myself since December when he was diagnosed with his congestive heart failure.
But never I will be ready...never.
I hope I will not have the hard decision to help him to cross the bridge, I wish him to left our world while he is sleeping comfortably in his blanket at home.

Litle Bear :
The vet thinks he has a skin infection. His problem with his eye ... it is the skin around the eye which is swollen and red. The eye itself is correct. I am so relieved about that :D
So my lil boy is tortured two time per day by putting one drop of antibiotic in his eye... Oh yes that looks as I am tortured him ;)
And he has antibiotic that I can ad in his food. Well the soups seems to be really less delicious ;)
It is just for 15 days ... so ... not too long.


The TREATS
I am still waiting for the naturals treats for Nahum and Petit Ours !!! 
UPDATE : The treats are here  !!!! the treats are here  ... they arrived yesterday  morning (January 26,2010)

UPDATE 2 :

Nahum don't like the treats ... nooooo .... and Lil Bear neither .... Nooooo nooooo   :(

I have ordered new treats free of salt for my baby. Plenty of sorts with the hope there will be at least one  Nahum will love. I know my boy is very picky... But he loves NO ones .... cries...

Stella & Chewy Carnivore Kisses - Duck
Stella & Chewy Carnivore Kisses - Turkey Tidbits
Stella & Chewy Carnivore Crunch - Duck
Ziwi Peaks Cat Treat 3oz Lamb
Ziwi Peaks Cat Treat 3oz Liver

Wysong Dream Treats - Pheasant Small Bag 1.68oz

Well I have mixed a little of the Duck treats in the soupy, for my TWO little boys in the hope they will be used to the odor and taste... So they lapped up all the liquid and let the mashed meat...
