    Found some toilets

    Comments and suggestions?
    Gary - you were right...I just needed to keep looking, you never know where these may appear.

    Re: Found some toilets

    These are both good. The settings you have found these in are interesting. I especially like the second one with the toilet by the garden and bricks. They both appear dark though. Try upping the levels a bit to bring out some highlights and get some more white in the images. Good finds (or plants) You got a good series started now! Keep at it.

    Re: Found some toilets

    Weird stuff. Not sure I'd take pix of something like this myself, but...

    Not much to say here. Maybe these were thrown outside for garbage pickup? Then again, maybe they've been sitting there for 11 years. Some folks just don't care about stuff like this.

    Re: Found some toilets

    Nice shots, love the first one with the patch of grass on the right. Very nice. I agree with Gary, they seem a tad dark on my monitor, so a nice brightness boost would do the trick. Nice shooting,

    Great series,

    Jared

    Re: Found some toilets

    Thanks for the advice everyone.
    Jared - I agree that these need to be lightened up to make those toilets pop.
    GB - The reason behind these pictures is that most people would not find them interesting and would not take a picture...but I find them unique when they are not where they are suppose to be...I like the thought of taking someone's trash and making an artistic expression with it. Now did I succeed or fail is the question?
    Gary- Thanks for the series idea...I'm enjoying trying to "hunt" these down. The thought of planting toilets is kinda funny...I couldn't imagine lugging one of those around.
    Cheers

    That would be a good picture in and of itself, a guy with a camera around his neck dragging a toilet down the sidewalk.

    I really liked both shots, On my monitor, they look good...maybe I need to take down the brightness on it a bit...

    Re: Found some toilets

    Interesting subject for a series PT... Are you going to keep looking for public toilets? I agree with the others, they appear a bit dark. But, they are still very inviting to stare at for a while.

    Couldn't imagine lugging one of those around huh? Well, if your gonna do a series on toilets, you had better start keeping several with you in your car to pull out and place wherever you happen to be. Take a toilet up to the mountains overlooking the horizon, cmon now! How about a shot of a man sitting on a toilet on a cliff overlooking a lake or river. . .and a roll of paper by his side. ;) I like this series and look forward to more from you. ( by the way, that last idea I'm not kidding about)
