An exemplar series of photographs Christine. It was hard for me to choose a favorite or two, but here goes anyway.
B&W Nos. 1, 3 & 5. That Silence sign must be a most photographed sign amongst the local photographers, wonderfully balanced. As is the staircase in #3, better than #4. #5 is nicely balanced, with a difficult lighting situation handled. That those silhouetted figures didn't flare out or bloom much is amazing. Color Nos. 3, 5, 10 & 13. #5 forces one to study the details of the alley better than #6. Every piece of brick, concrete, iron & steel tells a part of a story laying over a long time period. #3 is a peaceful as it is colorful, muted. Yes, I see you in #10, as well as a patient animal made more interesting with the tribute of a Kodachrome red rose. #13 is an image I would not have even noticed walking with my K7, as I could not have captured all those details before the noise monster began munching at the deep mid-tones. Assuming you were not hefting a tripod or monopod for this series, I am impressed by the sharpness and depth of focus you are getting, even at ƒ4.0 and a slow shutter speed. May I welcome you to the large group of PDML members towards whom I am a haterrrr! :-) On Apr 3, 2011, at 11:47 , Christine Aguila wrote: > Color > http://www.caguila.com/caguila/k5testcolor/ > Black and White > http://www.caguila.com/caguila/k5testblackwhite/ > > Wow!
