I agree 100% wrt the positioning of the skater, Doug. I would have loved him making a big arc across the left of the frame with a thin curved wake behind him. I originally was attracted by the lit wall and reflections on the rink. I took a few frames then I noticed the skater, who was circling the rocks. This was the best shot I got.
Then he (of course) skated to the edge of the rink, took off his skates and left. Take what you get, I suppose. :-) Thanks for the comment! cheers, flank --- Original Message --- From: Doug Franklin <[email protected]> Sent: January 10, 2012 1/10/12 To: "Pentax-Discuss Mail List" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: PESO - Night Skater On 2012-01-10 21:32, frank theriault wrote: > A solitary skater on a very mild night at Toronto's Ryerson University > outdoor rink: > > http://knarfdummyblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/night-skater.html I like the idea, Frank, but I think I'd prefer the skater over to the left of the leftmost "boulder". I think I see what you're trying to do, but the skater sort of "disappears" between the rocks unless I force myself to look at him/her. And maybe half a stop less exposure to bring out what appear to be patterns in the upstairs lights of the building behind the rink. All the near-field stuff is silhouetted, anyway. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
