Re: PAW: My first *istD stuff...
Hello Boris, First let me say that I am a succor for the layered mountain thing. On that count, I love it. The foreground trees offset it nicely. I would be curious as to what the color version looked like. It might give me more ideas about how things went for your first round with the camera. The picture does seem just a tad soft but that could easily be how you processed it. Thanks for sharing. Bruce Tuesday, November 9, 2004, 8:33:16 PM, you wrote: BL Hi!

I say that doesn't look like Israel, that's what I say! I had no idea that parts of your country looked like that, Boris? Or did you take it somewhere else - like Algonquin Park in Northern Canada? g I think it's a stunning photo, with the dark trees in the foreground, and the hills gradually fading into the distance - composition is lovely, exposure is great - just a terrific photo, IMHO. Except, I don't like the title. That little bird is so inconsequential... vbg cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson

For mine, the large black area in the fore ground is just that, a large black area. I like to see some sort of detail in the fore ground. The DOF is good allowing the viewer some dimension to the image. The image also lacks a subject of any substance. I cant help thinking this image would make a nice backdrop for a portrait, if you lost the large black area at the fore. However, this is just my opinion and hope it is taken in the same spirit it is given. Kind regards Kevin -- Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

Re: My first *istD stuff...
To hell with the little bird, this is an interesting scenic in itself, cold and lonely and somewhat foreboding. It's very much like I feel some days. The mist and compression are perfect, mountains paged one after the other and on... forever. Only BW can do this, and you used it well. Sorry, I can't think of one brutal thing to say...

RE: PAW: My first *istD stuff...
Hi Boris ... Unlike Kevin, I don't think the foreground needs much, if any, detail. I like the idea of seeing just shades of grey. However, the foreground seem out of synch with the rest of the scene - sharp verticals of an irregular pattern against a rolling, gentle background. To my mind they conflict, work against each other, but I think that's because, at least in part, the foreground is unsharp, too soft around the edges, and maybe too much of it. The bird, while a nice touch, is really an unimportant element, especially being so small and out of focus. Now, for the big question: How many frames did you shoot of this scene? Since you obviously felt there was something to work with, and the subject was static, you must have shot quite a few frames, each with a somewhat different perspective, framing, area of interest, area of focus, with a different focal length lens. How did those look? I also say this photo may have been better served with some real BW film, or at least some better work in Photoshop. It has a rather flat look to it. I'd like to see the middle greys expanded to get more separation between the tones. How did you meter for this scene? Overall, I'd have to say you've done far better and more interesting work.

RE: My first *istD stuff...
Very nice composition and and grays. A picture like this will, in the real world, live or die depending on the print quality, including how the BW was done. Was it simply desaturated or has some work been put into making the black and gray colour scale work ?
