About the Image(s)


Title: Kennedy Center

This is a view from the top balcony terrace of the Opera House at the Kennedy Center here in DC, obviously during an intermission. I am not sure this is sufficiently interesting at this angle, because the interaction between the people is perhaps not well expressed. I am thinking of some of the work by recent (very good) photographers in which they photographed crowds of only the viewers at art museums.

I had a vast set of choices for the conversion to monochrome. I could have made the red carpet come out very light or very dark. I chose a mid-tone. What do you think? How about the cropping of the crowd? I am wondering if it is better with no cropping? What about keeping the bust of Kennedy at the center bottom??”perhaps it’s not effective?

You always come up with some great (and unique) subjects.....I like. Mid-tone looks fine to me as is the cropping.   Posted: 02/05/2025 21:28:29

Thank you so much. I think I will try more crowd shots when we next go to the theater.   Posted: 02/05/2025 22:06:39
