L'alba nel faggeto

"Dawn in the beechwood"

I still remember an amazed Luisa Valeriani exclaiming: "Caspar Friedrich!!!"

you really should get up earlier..this is a lovely image!

Interesting story behind this excellent picture. The automatic, electronic way of taking pictures seems to cut us off from some effects altogether. Could you scan the slide and post it "pure"?

Willa Dios		19-Nov-2005 20:47
Me, too, Adal! ;) W.

Many hidden treasures here. This is one of them. I love reflexive pictures...:)

sempre bellissima. Andrea

Very nicely done ... with the partial hand, slide and white background, this could easily be ad copy. Great job.

Ron Horloff		05-Oct-2004 21:41
A very fascinating image. Well done.

Excellent image, Adal.. i like the way we get a glimpse into a world of film we might never have seen. Beautifully executed... both this image and the misty one.

Guest		04-Aug-2004 11:07
tra le preferite, questa è speciale... il piano luminoso in secondo piano è una magnifica idea splendida immagine ciao Andrea

This image is amazing for a number of reasons - 10 that it is a photo of a slide against a light box, 2)that you shot it 25 times to get the correct exposure and 3)well - just because it is an amzing catch! Trully beautiful! I can see why you like it so much!

Anna Yu		03-Aug-2004 16:03
Superb is the word that comes to mind. The framing makes it even more beautiful.

Guest		03-Aug-2004 12:38
What a compelling image! What I especially like about it is that, it's almost as if you are holding up a window or a portal into this other world (the forest), and all we have to do is step into the image or slide, and we'll then be in the forest. The image is very fantasy-like.

Guest		02-May-2004 11:56
I like them too, and this one is especially appealing to me

RodTO		01-May-2004 21:52
Great shot! looks like a window into another dimension!

Guest		27-Apr-2004 22:54
GREAT! very clever

Pall Gudjonsson		27-Apr-2004 18:13
Excellent !!!

Guest		27-Apr-2004 11:58
Digital age or not I will always have a soft spot for slides, especially those as beautiful as this one which, would be superb even before considering what you had to go through to get it! The way you presented this today is also very elegant. Welcome back Adal! We're lucky to have have you...

CJ, I've said "camera pressed against a tree" not handheld!!! LOL (a very steady tripod, the tree was, btw).

CJ Morgan		27-Apr-2004 03:38
A handheld repeat of the same exposure 25 times more? Quite a miracle that it would turn out well at all. But apparently it did.

Guest		27-Apr-2004 00:53
Interesting concept~ V Niceee!!

Adalberto Tiburzi		26-Apr-2004 19:54
CJ, I remember. 1972, spring, 5.00 am in the morning, top of monte Fogliano, waiting for sunrise. Zeiss Ikonta, Metrastar exposure meter (super sensitive, cadmium sulphure). Saw that scene! Well, 1 sec. f/5,6. No tripod. Camera pressed against a tree. Bended knees, not to obstruct the lens. But the camera hadn't 1 sec exposure, the slowest was 1/25. So, I pressed 25 times the shutter, always on the same frame, to reach 1 sec. And then, 6-7 times more, just to compensate the reciprocity effect. And now? Copied by another camera, in a totally automatic way... Ah, those were times!

What a great shot . Really cool idea and a beautiful image on the slide .Great to see you back Adalberto .

Larry Ahern		26-Apr-2004 18:51
That's great!

Guest		26-Apr-2004 18:46
Ah the beautiful slide... Superb the underwood in this.

CJ Morgan		26-Apr-2004 18:36
That's an interesting presentation. Well done Adalberto. As for the image of the woods itself, I imagine what makes it most appealing is how that particular momentary light is showing the appearance of the woods. I mean a different moment with a different lighting, and the same view of the woods might not look quite so appealing. Perhaps a good example which illustrates that we don't so much shoot "objects" but rather "appearances" -- how object look under a given set of light conditions. Which in turn somewhat speaks to the issue of how important paying attention to the momentary light is to the process of making images.

Adalberto Tiburzi		26-Apr-2004 18:32
400 Iso 1/125 f/8, a classical street shot, Pete. ;-)

virginiacoastline		26-Apr-2004 18:29
Nice steady hands! Which impresses me more than the exosure, LOL! Lovely scene BTW

Guest		26-Apr-2004 18:10
This is a fantastic portrayal of another wonderful image! Welcome back, Adal!

christianl		26-Apr-2004 17:26
WOW ! I like it lot !

Guest		26-Apr-2004 17:07
It looks as though you are holding a magical window to another world. Brilliant!

Steven Osmanski		26-Apr-2004 16:44
That is beautiful! I would love to see it on screen for a slide show. Steve

Guest		26-Apr-2004 16:38
This is cool. Nice shot!

Guest		26-Apr-2004 16:16
very cool shot! i need a light like this! love the fog in the slide

Guest		26-Apr-2004 16:13
this is an a stellar idea Adalberto ... love the overall shot and composition .. and that slide is wonderful ... thumbs up!

Adalberto Tiburzi		26-Apr-2004 16:10
Tech note: my just bought super-light SLR "street cam", a 300D 18-55mm kit lens. Slide and camera both handheld against the dull sky.

Guest		26-Apr-2004 15:58
That is GORGEOUS!!!! Soooo pretty. I love the way you've shown it here!!!

Guest		26-Apr-2004 15:58
Brilliant concept!

Vinay		26-Apr-2004 15:57
Great. Like both the pictures.

Jill		26-Apr-2004 15:55
Adalberto this is fabulously executed. How you captured the image in the slide is amazing even with the lightbox. Love this!

Adalberto Tiburzi		26-Apr-2004 15:50
I have solved a lot of problems this month, so... I'm back :-)
