stuny Posted August 4, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2006 marc - I too am fascinated with some of the patterns waves make in the sand, and have taken some photos. This one is spectacular for its details, and is enhanced by making it a toned B&W. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted August 4, 2006 Stuart, I'm glad you love too these so special effects on the sand. They are an all incredible and moving world. Colors are the real ones. Thanks to the warm light, in this afternoon. Thanks for looking and kind comment. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted August 4, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 4, 2006 Marc, this one has a look of thickly spread chocolate sauce about it - delicious shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rubidium Posted August 4, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 4, 2006 I find these shots to be quite theraputic. I must confess that my attention is often consumed by displays of randomness in Nature such as this. When I first dated my wife, she became fascinated herself by how I would spend a few moments in a restaurant watching a pour of cream diffuse into my coffee.

marc_dufour Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted August 5, 2006 John, James, You make me open the eyes over a new dimension about my pictures I did'nt suspect ! After all, it's not so strange: all this is sensitive and even sensual... James: I also shared these moments, observing sweet movements and spirals of cream in the coffee cup :-) Thanks for looking and comments.

Guest rubidium Posted August 5, 2006 Share #7 Posted August 5, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Marc, What makes an image like this so intriguing is that it displays both simplicity and complexity at the same time, and the mind can easily get "drawn into the battle" between the two extremes. In the lower half of your frame, you have captured dozens of replications of a classic behavior of natural phenomena called bifurcation. These are the little two-pronged forks in the sand. The great physicist, Feynman, could walk along a beach for hours, occupying his time contemplating the contrast between the simplicity and complexity that were both displayed in just one fork. As he once so eloquently stated to me more than 20 years ago, "the forks were Nature's way of averting the onset of chaos." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted August 5, 2006 James, My formation is within plastic arts sphere, and really remote from scientific questions. But my work as a graphic designer has given to me me the oportunity to work regularly with scientific people. In many occasions they gave me new keys to understand why something appealed to me so specially, as in this one. So I shall follow posting pictures around this subject, and I'll be waiting impatiently your comment, to learn something more about it :-) Other interesting source of awareness, are the intriguing questions used by my Taichi master -a Taoist man- to answer to me mines (refering to natural order and chaos) But, overall, it's fantastic to realize as other eyes, with another and so different background, can see our own work, and contribute to give us a new perspective about it. So, I'm very grateful with you comment. Cheers. Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
