Stunning photoart dear Emgy,working up whenever you post and strikes to the heart of abstract.Nicest!Y.I.

Bruce Harper {K:5305} 12/19/2006

Very striking abstract Emgy, I think that the colours of the background gives it an underwater feel, and yet that is definately a flower searching for the sun. Maybe it is this conflict of impressions that make this work so well.

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 12/10/2006

Thank you very much for your encouraging words, Jaques

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 11/16/2006

La nostalgia del mare ce l'ho anch'io.....quasi ogni giorno e in qualsiasi stagione. Mi [iace la tua ultima idea...si' forse il mare ce lo metto io con la mia mente.
Un caro saluto
Emgy

Marzia Carrada

{K:3225} 11/15/2006

Ciao Emgy, grazie mille per i tuoi commenti.
Le tue foto non mi fanno pensare al mare per i colori, diciamo che contengono un "effetto mare". In realtà i tuoi astratti mi ricordano i disegni che si creano da soli sulle barche e le navi. Non ci posso far nulla, ogni volta anche se so che quel metallo potrebbe essere una parte di qualsiasi cosa, per il mio cervello è una barca. Forse è perchè ho nostalgia del mare, forse è un riflesso condizionato, come quando mi trovo in un punto panoramico cerco istintivamente il mare all'orizzonte. O forse (e questo mi piace di piu'), il mare sulle foto in qualche modo ce l'hai messo tu...
A presto
Marzia

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 11/13/2006

Cara Marzia, grazie tante per il tuo interesse. Anche tu hai delle bellissime foto nel tuo portfolio, che ho appena rivisto un po'di fretta ma ci ritornero' dopo questa risposta. Questa non e'stata scattata in un battello ad Amsterdam ma vicino ad un edificio della UVA (University of Amsterdam) e per essere piu'precisa, e'parte di un grande contenitore di metallo del tipo che viene usato quando si fanno delle modifiche allínterno di una casa o edificio ed e'
necessario buttar via parti di muri, cemento, legno etc....
Le mie foto ti fanno pensare al mare forse per i colori? Non ne sono sicura ma e'un fatto che io vado pazza per il mare, le onde e le spiagge deserte.
Affettuosi saluti
Emgy

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 11/13/2006

Thank you, Jacek

Marzia Carrada

{K:3225} 11/13/2006

Ciao! Ancora un bellissim quadro! Mi piacciono molto le tue foto, sono sempre originali e creative.
Questa poi ha dei bellissimi colori... è un battello ad Amsterdam? E' vero che potrebbe essere qualsiasi cosa, ma mi fa pensare ad una nave, non so perchè, le tue foto mi fanno sempre pensare al mare!
Ciao e a presto
Marzia

PS grazie per il tuo commento!

Thank you, Manuel.
I didn't write anything in the "about"section cause I didn't think it interesting. I saw this pattern on a big metal container, painted in a bluish green colour. It's the type used to collect stuff during interior renovation.

Manuel Bedoyan {K:9098} 11/1/2006

Very abstract, very artsitic, wish i could read some "about":)

Thanks Jani.

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 11/1/2006

Thanks again John. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain. Your comment makes me feel really good. I get what you mean, I'll try to follow your advice whenever I can.
Looking forward to seeing your new post.

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 11/1/2006

Hey, wat grappig! Oldenzaal....ja, zeker en erg mooi stadje. Ik ga er vaak naat toe. Ik had begrepen dat je een Drenthenaar was. We zijn "meer buren" dan ik gedacht had!
Heel erg bedankt voor je prachtige woorden.
Ik heb je "about" gelezen. Ik ben er met je eens. Natuurlijk licht (als het erg mooi is) is inderdaad veel beter dan wat je via een fotobewerkingsprogramma kunt krijgen, zelfs een als PhotoShop. Maar....zoals je weet, kan men niet altijd geluk hebben.

John Barclay {K:3650} 11/1/2006

Let me be very clear... I have NO problem with soft - unsharp images done on purpose!! I have many and will make many more. That said I was simply voicing my opinion about some of your incredible work. For me you have a good enough eye for excellent subject matter that I feel you should take your work to the next level and use a tripod when you can! I love your artistic vision and champioin your desire to not have everything sharp! I'll post a new piece which should help you understand where I'm at with soft images... :)

RC. Dany {K:64104} 11/1/2006

Excellent .

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 11/1/2006

for John Barcley:
Back to you cause in my first reply to your comment I accidentally said something that isn't correct. It's about the following part of my previous reply:
**Another reason is probably the poor quality of a camera I've been using for quite a time, one with less than 1 million pixels, with which I could shoot pics with a maximum resolution of 640X480 (this photo here is one of them resized to 750).** ..........sorry, this pic wasn't shot with the mentioned camera but with a 6 million pixels camera and resized from 2048 pixels to 750. Some confusion here just cause I have a very similar photo taken with a different camera.
If I can, I'll try to correct the information about the camera and setting given on top of this page.
Regards - Emgy

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 10/31/2006

Thank you so much for your kind words and honest critique. Yes, I had understood from another comment to one of my pics that you would like to see more sharpness in my images. Some of them are indeed not as sharp as most of you here probably would like. The reasons are a few. First of all, I'm technically a lousy photographer and a lazy one too cause I hardly ever bother taking my tripod with me, which, as you know, doesn't make it easy to shoot sharp pics.I often have one or two cameras with me but no tripod as I don't plan my shooting sessions. I have no time for it. I take pics only when I spontaneously see something that seems interesting to me. I love making images and the kind of work I do doesn't make me worry much about following all the photography rules. Another reason is probably the poor quality of a camera I've been using for quite a time, one with less than 1 million pixels, with which I could shoot pics with a maximum resolution of 640X480 (this photo here is one of them resized to 750). The third and most important reason is that, depending of the subject and the type of photo, I really like unsharp and soft images. I'm not sure why, exactly. I just find them appealing and having a special feel. I have many pics that were shot on purpose with a very soft focus and I like them.

Jani Salvataggio {K:27283} 10/31/2006

very beautiful textures!
I like this colours cominations very much!

Marco Vredegoor {K:7301} 10/31/2006

hi emgy, inderdaad we zijn buren! Ik woon zelfs heel dichtbij Enschede in het mooie plaatsje Oldenzaal. Maar reis(de) nogal veel door het land om (ook) te fotograferen. Bedankt voor je commentaar. Uiteraard heb ik ook even jouw portfolio bekeken en ik ben erg jaloers> wat een mooie collectie heb je. Erg kleurrijk en zulke mooie abstracte vormen. Ik houd wel van kleur in foto's, ik probeer zelf ook altijd mooie kleuren in het originele licht te fotograferen. soms is de licht in z/w weer mooier. en de abstractheid maakt het tot moderne kunst. Erg mooi gedaan. groetjes, marco.

John Barclay {K:3650} 10/31/2006

I do love your body of work here on usefilm. I love your sense of color and design. I'm a big fan of abstract images and you have many that are excellent. I'm not sure if it is the look you desire (which is just fine if it is!) or not but I would prefer to see some of your abstracts a bit sharper. Keep in mind I say this with all due respect to the creative choice to make them soft on purpose as I do on many occasions... I'm just saying on some for my eye I would like to see them sharper.

Thanks for sharing!

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 10/31/2006

Thank you, Marian

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 10/31/2006

Thank you so much. Glad you like it.

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 10/31/2006

Il tuo commento mi ha affascinato e meravigliato molto perche' cio'che hai scritto e'nella mia mente ogni volto che vedo un qualcosa che a prima vista non sembra sia abbastanza interessante da attirare l'attenzione. L'ídea del fiore troncato dal vento e' proprio cio'che ho visto in questa immagine. Sei fenomenale e il tuo modo di esprimere ottimamente cio'che pensi mi stupisce sempre
Mille grazie, Paolo!
Un caro saluto
Emgy

Paolo De Maio {K:34932} 10/31/2006

C'è molto di più nella tua ripresa fotografica che una semplice rappresentazione della realtà che ci circonda.
Nei tuoi astratti si trova di tutto; la fredda materia che si esprime attraverso la sintesi cromatica dove le sfumature e le tonalità imprimono forza all'impatto visivo realizzando ciò che ci è familiare nelle forme ma che non riusciamo a percepire perchè le hai strutturate in fotografia privandole della spazialità e quindi del loro riferimento reale.
Ed è l'esempio di ciò che percepisco io ovvero un girasole troncato dal suo gambo dal un violento colpo di vento che esprime ciò che nessuna altra forza può esprimere:
la forza della natura.
Complimenti
Paolo

John Hatz {K:156973} 10/31/2006

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 10/29/2006

Dank je wel Rob. Je bent altijd zo vriendelijk!
Ik heb nog mijn macro lens en zolals misschin ook eerdar zei tegen je, ik heb drie prakyica en ee mamya camera gekocht met diverse lensen maar hb nog geen tijd gehad om ze te gevruiken. Mijn macrolens gebruik ik ook niet zo vaak. Wegens tijd gebrek ben ik de laatste tijd niet vaak aan het fotograferen geweest.
Mijn hartelijke groeten terug.
Ps. ik had beloofd te schrijfen maar het is me nog niet gelukt...... sorry
Emgy

Rob Ernsting {K:8899} 10/28/2006

Dit is een van je mooiste abstracten, althans naar mijn mening. Misschien komt dat doordat er weinig fantasie nodig is om hier een bloem in te zien. De kleuren vind ik geweldig mooi en vrolijk, de compositie is fraai en uitbundig. Het is toch wel een gave om deze beelden te zien and te ontdekken. Petje af :-)
Doe je nog wel een wat met je macro lens? Die lijkt me bijzonder geschikt hiervoor. Mijn hartelijke groeten. Rob.

Emgy Massidda {K:60358} 10/28/2006

Spero lo stesso di te e i tuoi.
