Play Time
This is one of images that I captured in the ’60s. The black and white image was obtained by contact printing a piece of black & white positive film with the original transparency in the dark room. The usual processing of black and white film was carried out. By montaging the original transparency with a piece of processed black & white positive film, the bias relief effect was created. I love the effect, mood and saturated colours of this image. Capturing the decisive moment is also essential for such a picture. This image gained 71 acceptances in international salons from 1967 t0 1969. This image was also awarded a Silver Medal at the 12th Westchester International Salon, USA, held in 1969.

Mr. Tan:
I have tried to capture some moving objects.
It was almost impossible to get an image I wanted.
Always croping the object, can not focus, or can not get a good composition.
I would die to get a image like yours.
Moreover, you applied technichs that I have never heared of.
Even I did not under stand any of the technichs, I like the result. The shadow on the wall is so soft and diffrent that it turns into a sweet poet.
You really put a lot of effort into this picture.
I have to try to learn and practice a lot.
The most important thing to me I think, is to replace my old
Canon powershot with a camera that does not have a shutter lag that some times goes forever.
Sincerly,
Jingsong Zhou
Mr. Tan:
I love this kind of pictures:
Has a lot of impact from a deep knowlege. However, it does not catch one’s attention by easy tricks. Therefore I can look at it over and over to appreciated it more. To me that is the strongest impact of a picture.
This is one of the best photographs I have ever seen.
Sincerely,
Jingsong Zhou
Hi! Joe,
Thanks!
Perhaps, you should look at “Who Is Leading?” in my Singapore File. It is self-explanatory regarding shuttle lag of a consumer camera.
Best regards,
Play Time seems quite interesting – thanks for information R.Kraven
