hi hugo, my walls have a type of coating on them that is somewhat reflective thus the highlight. i will be using this light from now on because i love the mood and the shadows. -k

thanks for your comment. you really summed it up in a way that i wasn't able to. sometimes it takes an outside objective opinion. . . i guess thats the point of this forum right?

thanks hugo for your comments. the very fact that this photo has caused people to have such contrasting reactions means it was a success. i read an article once where a photographer said that all he wants when someone looks at his work is for them to look at an image for 4 seconds, if he gets 4 seconds it was a success. also the light souce was one lowell tungten light places to the right side of the subject. -k

when i use film i use the n90s. i liked it because it was easy to use and not that expensive. more expensive cameras like the f5 are a little confusing and i dont really use all of there features. i recently went digital with the canon 5d. its rather expensive but if you are going to do portfolio work you'll never have to pay for film and processing and scanning again. for me, the camera paid for itself after the first 10 shoots. think about it if possible. -k

thanks! i use portra 400 nc film as opposed to vc (vivid color), and i scan the negs. i used to scan using kodak master scans which i loved, they were cheap, $2, and the colors were close to the contact sheets and blended well, then they stopped master scans. i had to switch to what are called pro cd scans they are higher resolution, 22 megs, but i have to do more color correcting than before and they are more expensive $8 per scan still cheap for most but not like before. those master scans primarily gave me that nice soft look.-k

hi joe,
no edit just the right time of day. the fabric and paint used is highly reflective and i chose to shoot just after sunset so that the paint reflects what light is available and that in turn contrasts with the grey brown of the park in winter. the only edit is the crop, thats it.-k

Hi joe,
no edit, only the crop. the fabric used is highly reflective, i chose to shoot just after the sun set so the sky was still light and the fabric reflects that light. the contrast results from the brown/gray enviroment of the park during the winter. check out other images of the gates at the following link http://homepage.mac.com/karlrothenberger/gates but no editing other than crop, just the right time of day.-k

Well Paul,
You don't have to understand it, i feel you just have to appreciate the fact that someone took the time and energy to construct something that he thought others would appreciate or find beautiful. art on really any level is too subjective, so if you like it great, if you don't just appreciate the fact that others might. personally i thought it was cool. and i was able to see the whole park from a friends office on the 49th floor at the corner of 59th and 5th. that view showed the scope of the project that travelled all the way to harlem. the fact that the park is packed, literally, shows how much of a success it is and how many people have gotten pleasure out of it, and if you don't like it, hey, it will be gone in a week.-k
