louvre museum - statues reference

Community
#1

hi everyone,

last month i was in paris, the tip was mostly dedicated to museums. i was in the rodin museum, louvre, d'orsay, and more... i decided to put most of the louvre pictures on my site (about 350), those that include the magical statues from the greek, rome, egypt eras. i might be able to put the rest, but you know bandwidth costs :) i also have pictures reference, but its not as complete as the sculptures and statues of the louvre or the other museums. if you are interested in anything from the rest of the collection let me know. if you want a hi res version of a specific picture, let me know and i'll email you. address: [http://www.oricohen.com/photos/louvre](http://www.oricohen.com/photos/louvre) Ori.

Warpy thanks for sharing. I am looking forward looking at them. However your “Watermarking” is very very intrusive and makes it look like you really really love them so much that you just do not want to share them actually.

well i am not in love with them :). actually the other options with that watermark program was even worse, there is a tile option that puts it all over the screen. if you have any other “batch-able” suggestions, let me know in PM.

Well you can download trial version of Adobe Lightroom, it offers nicer options.

#5

okay, made it a little bit less intrusive.

#6

whats the point of your watermarks? who are you protecting these photographs from?

#7

I was kind of wondering that myself. Why the watermarks at all? It`s a pity becuase it spoils some great reference.

Ori! These are amazing. Great ref. Nice quality photos you got here. I love the exposure in the photos. Thanks for sharing these with everyone :+1:.

I’m very humbled by these.

Cheers

that’s very generous Ori :slight_smile: Thank you for sharing!

Wooow… Thank you so much… Thats really awesome… These images are already in my references folder…

I’m interested in the entire collection… And in high res if possible… LOL :lol:

A good idea to solve the problem with your bandwidth is to compact the images on a zip or rar file and upload it to a free file share site, like Media Fire ( http://www.mediafire.com/ ), and then post the link of the file here. It’s pretty simple and free :wink:

Once again, thanks for sharing it…

What a thing to lose sleep looking at.

Wow…thanks for sharing. Is the photography as freely allowed as it seems?

#13

Simply gorgeous…:grimacing:

Superb pictures…
Thanks to share :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:

ooh, i am glad you guys like it.
the photography is free and you can do whatever you want, i suggest taking a picture without a flash, aperture priority, standing still. no breathing, keeping the iso as low as you can (even though sometimes you need it at 800), pushing the camera button and keep pushing until the photo has been taken.

i was wondering about something, i got a few more of these galleries, but i have yet to release them in public, i want my site to be the mecca for reference such as that. it means that i would have to upgrade my website plan. do you think a donation button and giving a link to the realy high res reference, to people who donate will be a good idea?
