This is just a tribute... 2

Posted by drphoto (Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) on 3 May 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

As an apology for my absence I have decided to do a small 'in the style of...' tribute series to my favourite Aminus3 bloggers.

I haven't asked permission to do this so I hope I do not offend with these humble offerings.

This shot is a very poor attempt at the style of Rhys. Rhys is master of the minimal, his shots are uncompromising, stark and strangely beautiful. His processing is similarly professional as even a short look through his portfolio will show.

My image was inspired by this shot; you will often see Rhys make art out of the rubbish people discard on South Gare, although mine clearly pales in comparison. The inset is a poor attempt to tise to this level.

He does get much more minimal though!

I welcome all constructive comments, compliments and criticisms.
I am here to learn. the fastest way for me to learn is for you to be really unforgiving and articulate in your criticism =D)

If you don't have time to comment don't forget to give a star rating as you pass through!

I am touched and flattered! Really, I am. Thanks, I'm kind of lost for words. wow.

@Rhys: Don't get all embarrassed lol! I admire the consistensy in your style; marking the work with your own perspective and character. I aspire to produce work like that someday (soon lol!) and just wanted to show my appreciation.

Saeed from ahwaz, Iran

@Saeed: Thanks Saeed, =D)

pLusOne from Cheonan, South Korea

another cool shot and I like the mood of this shot.
the way how the glove look makes me feel something lonely and moody.

And thanks again for yesterday's tribute shot.

@pLusOne: You're welcome (again), thanks for the compliment, that was the mood I wanted to create =D)

Observing from Chester, United Kingdom

This is a great idea Dan, and in this presentation I can see the similarity. Good concept, great work.

@Observing: Thank you! =D)

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

This is a great work, and thank you so much for introducing me to Rhy's work.

@Graham Russon: Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad to have converted another Rhys fan! =D)

Vikram from Chandler, United States

Excellent work! I like those two shots, they are entirely different scenes but have similar tones!

@Vikram: Thanks - I think the matching tones are a result of trying to match Rhys PP, it was not actually intentional!

Betty from New Jersey, United States

Very well done!

@Betty: Thanks!

Alun Lambert from Cheshire, United Kingdom

Very good shot.

@Alun Lambert: Cheers =D)

Dylan from Delhi, United States

I really like the colors here.

4 May 2008 11:52am

@Dylan: These muted tones are not my usual style (obviously, given the series) but I'm glad they have turned out to everyone's liking!

danthro from Suburbia, United States

very cool processing, color and light

@danthro: Thanks =D) I know Rhys processses his images in LAB mode but I haven't learned how to do that yet and was just trying to mimic the end result.
