Ken, I'm still on a learning curve. I eventually tracked down the original print! The colours are virtually identical but it is sharper. (I did sharpen a bit). I am having some difficulty getting MF spot on in spite of the confirm beep. However, in this case I now see I had the neg. in back to

Re: My attempt at car photography!

Thanks Paul, I was hoping that you'd respond. It was late evening, but I realise from your point and looking at the shadow cast by the car, it was probably parked the wrong way round! 90 degrees rotation would have had the sunlight illuminating the side. Schoolboy error... If I ever get another

Re: My attempt at car photography!

Nicely rendered, but too wide a lens for my taste. It yields a "fat front end" look. In addition to a longer focal length, a polarizer would have served you well. Finally, try to shoot at magic hour when the light comes from a low angle. That will illuminate the car's flanks. Paul via phone >

Thanks, Bruce. Well you mentioned that I recalled some mobiles I saw long ago, but I don't recall who did them. (It wasn't Calder and he's the only mobile maker whose name I can think of). The photographer Karl BLossfeldt did tons of tendril photos and that was my direct inspiration. Mark

Well I took Ann's advice and went out to look at the earlier PUGs downloaded the files and tried a few old, (strange how a technique from only 15 years or so ago is now "old"). tricks from the bad old days and strangely the results weren't unusable at least for the web. I still hope to find

My comments are based on personal preference. And my personal preference is based partly on what publications want. Some photographers do like the wide angle look, but I’ve never been a fan. Here, if you had rotated the car, you would probably have had to deal with your shadow to get the right
