Advertisement Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Hi gverdon, Take a look here The Patient (1). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
beramos Posted October 5, 2006 Share #2 Posted October 5, 2006 I am seeing the photo a lot of time with the doubt of if I like or not that be not horizontal and finally I believe that it is a total succeed your decision to present it thus. Aside from this, impressive force with this had just the light that is unique. Very well it seen and better carried out (as usual). GREAT Gérald.

MrEd Posted October 6, 2006 Share #3 Posted October 6, 2006 I like this shot. It kind of puts a spotlight on the guy who's going to see the doctor and he's nervous about it. Great shot. Thanks for sharing. Ed. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted October 6, 2006 Share #4 Posted October 6, 2006 It's marvelous Gerald. The spotlight effect is brilliant. You have really put the blacks and the midtones to good use here. Excellent! Thank you for sharing your abundant talent with us again. Allan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael-IIIf Posted October 6, 2006 Share #5 Posted October 6, 2006 Gérald, A powerful shot. Just goes to show it is worth carrying the D2 everywhere. Well at least it is if your name is Gérald. Hope your visit wasn't too traumatic Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gverdon Posted October 6, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted October 6, 2006 Thank you everyone for your time and laudatory comments. Bernardo, yes, I think the tilted (and original) view enhances the tension. Michael, just postoperatives (nothing serious) cares. Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kld Posted October 7, 2006 Share #7 Posted October 7, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Well composed, great natural spot light. Agree about the tilted view. Would have been impossible to take with the loud clack of a SLR. -- Klaus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
semrich Posted October 7, 2006 Share #8 Posted October 7, 2006 Almost as if it were studio lighting, but in this case better. I like how you can see the reflections of the grillwork of the window in the glass of the picture above his head and the light on the chrome arms of the chairs.

palmskov Posted October 8, 2006 Share #9 Posted October 8, 2006 Indeed a good composition and nice light effect. He looks nerveous which adds a nice atmosphere to the photo. Thanks for sharing... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gverdon Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share #12 Posted October 10, 2006 Thanks all! Klaus, you're right, D2 is a precious jewel in such circumstances. Pete, this camera still amazes me. Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted October 10, 2006 Share #13 Posted October 10, 2006 The photo has a very nice quality, but this makes me wonder, does not a person have an expectation of privacy while in a doctor's waiting room? Outside is one thing, but I don't think I am comfortable with people being photographed without consent in this type of situation. Of course, perhaps you had his consent and I am off base with my remarks. If that is the case, I just go back to the first part of my first sentence.

Of course, perhaps you had his consent and I am off base with my remarks. If that is the case, I just go back to the first part of my first sentence. Brent, thank you for commenting. Well, that's a difficult question... Where is the red line? What's privacy? Does a person in a restaurant have a the right to keep her privacy free of any invasion? Can this same person claim he doesn't want to be "seen" with a particular person? What about a club? A health club? An hospital? A doctor's waiting room? In this late case, it still is a "public" place as different people meet there and "know" the other are in the same situation, i.e., waiting to see the doctor... Is this a more "private" situation than other? I really don't know... What I know is that the best candid photographs wouldn't be made if there was a real "respect" for privacy... I'm not sure you can define clearly where the limit is and when this limit is absolute or not... Photography is invasive, by nature. And so is the photographer. But in this case, I asked the man if he meant, and he did not even want to see the shot. But I asked after, of course. ;-) Cheers, Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhardt Isringhaus Posted October 11, 2006 Share #15 Posted October 11, 2006 Gerald, Great light and capture. This is the expectant moment. A patient man reading the magazines and awaiting for more news to come. He could be waiting for a doctor or getting his car fixed, doesn't matter. Strong image and title explains. Well done.
