@Flighty Furrow (Frivole Rimpel? Lichthartige vore?)
- Are you trying to impose on us the bizar ideas of the founding father of the totalitarian state - Plato? In the field of Epistemology he is an "essentialist", a believer in some construction they call "essence".. a dubious sort of Absolute (or god-like) fabric. This "essence" is only to be find by way of generalisation, a method very much loved by the present day neo-cons. As a free-thinker, I view Plato as a narrow minded, conservative political thinker, a bourgeois-avant-la-lettre with no eyes in his head and a load of disdain toward poets, dancers, handworkers, artisans, women, slaves and 'barbaros' (i.e. non-Greek speakers) etc. Plato's absurdistic allegories, like his slave-cave, only proves his disdain, and hence his mis-conception of plain reality and the laws of nature. He sure would have scorned photography. Ever seen a particular photo of a thing 'in general'?

Let's confine her to (the knowledge of) photography: the physical light & colour, the chemicals, the software and the equipment.
Intruiging question: Is photography about 'beauty'?

Fantastically brilliant - in both the figurative & literal meaning. I agree with your idea Jussi! In fact that is exactly what digital does, it gives you millions & millions of options to alter, to modify, change, to manipulate just with a few clicks! Never has change been made that easy to accomplish - no need anymore to go into a dark room the processing process starts sometimes already on ones camera.

I also agree it is philosophical and we can thus spend a few hours discussing it – so hopefully more comments to come! One of the amazing things in this philosophical discussion is, that it actually started hundreds of years before photography was even invented. Our dear Plato already pointed this out quite graphically with his Allegory of the Cave – we are not able to see the 'correct version'. The discussion can thus continue for some time to come.

Bricks in the wall///
Did anybody told you about a text on the roof ?:) It is about love. Wathing on the preview i was thinking about Hudertwasser houses in Austria. But it is only because colours. Once when I was in Lviv i noticed very special drawing on the roof. It was very surprised and only the moment of first impression stopped my thinking about wat to do ( then I had only 17-40) But for good catching it was nessecery to get 70-80mm. And now I understand - you proubably was thinking about much more wide glass. I `m correctly thinking ?:)

I love this! So well seen - so much to see. Your vibrant, saturated colours are well suited to the scene.

Dear Syborgh

You have a point. But I don´t agree with You about he "extreme color alienation". I admit that I have saturated the colors in Photoshop. But what You mean by original colors? Those of the file (seen through lens and recorded to the memory card) or those of the subject. Or the colors of my feelings about the subject.
You know, that the colors of the file are different from those of the buildings because of the use of tele.
I think not all of us here in Photocommunity have calibrated screens. And if we have, calibrated to what? If you have a subject based on grey colors, on some screens they may come out blue, in others green and so on. So it is safer to use more saturated colors. I don´t necessarily mean bright colors. I in think the screens also show often the brightness of colors differetnly.

But all this or deeper philosophy (and technics, too).

And it is even more complicated than that what I wrote above. Or simpler.

Thank You for helping me to explain my ideas to myself.

Jussi.

I Like the composition very much and the fine use of the tele. But why these extreme color alienation? Why not the original colors? I realy wonder.
