We had an opportunity to see Cirque du Soleil at the Palace Theatre which sits inside the Kremlin walls. The top floor of this very impressive hall provides scenes of the Kremlin and Moscow from three of its four sides. The day happened to me cloudy and cold, about -240 C (-110 F) with a light slow falling. For photography the sky was a dismal linoleum grey which usually argues that you put your camera away. However, when you’re up there on the top floor and have floor-to-ceiling glass windows all around, it’s hard to resist.
On the other hand, shots with a blah grey sky lend themselves to experimenting with black and white and even line drawings including using some technique that give the images an old, antique or sepia finish. I’ve put together a slide shows with a mix of color, black and white images and line drawings.
If you’re interested check out the slide show on my Web site at: http://www.andrewmcdonoughphotoraphy.com/ , click on the “RUSSIA” link and download and view the file called palace_theatre.exe
For Mac users I’ve posted a .zip and .pdf file of the images used to make up the show.
Lastly, I’ve finally started figuring out how Facebook can work for me – posting slide shows formatted as videos. Starting with this post the show will also be available on my Facebook page.
До следующего раза ...
