Very eerie, these well clad dummies! Interesting theme pictor, and I can already think of one member who should be ready to add to this thread.

These don't compare - particularly that first shot from Pictor - great photo! But its what I've got.

-Ray

Two shop windows, one with an actual person intruding, the other with way too much reflection but provocative dummies. The third is headless/armless/legless sidewalk apron torso dummies with asses exposed - my favorite sub-genre!

Hi -

Interestingly enough, this has been a long-term interest of mine, but most of the images I have of shop windows haven't been digitized.

But consider this:



This is straight from the EP-1 with the kit lens and no modifications whatsoever from the original. Olympus EP-1, 14-42mm lens, 24mm, 1/15th/s@f4.4

This, on the other hand: cropped slightly, run through DxO, cross-processed as Fuji Superia 200 in DxO with warm-tone film pack...



What a difference some processing makes... :-)
