Re: Geso The General Store
Sorry I haven't replied sooner. I have been in meetings this week with little time for email and NO photography time. Thanks to those who looked and commented. Your opinions and critiques as always were instructive and therefore valuable. Now resuming my regular schedule 40 pdml digests behind. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Geso The General Store
These photos are a little outside my usual comfort zone. I would like CC. Does anyone like some of them; does someone like any of them ?

Re: Geso The General Store
I'm outside of my comfort zone critiquing these, Don. :-) But I'll give you my candid reactions, fwiw. All good for bw rendering. Nice tones and exposure. I really like The Brooms. Full marks! I also like The Chemicals and Tin Cups, just not as much. In a number of them I'd be more pleased if they had more DoF (Three Bowls). As still life scenes I think they need to be really sharp throughout. Many of them seemed not to have a well defined point of interest or they included distracting elements (White Hat) so they just seemed meh to me. HTH.

Re: Geso The General Store
I like the composition and tones. I think they would look better sharper.

Thanks. http://donspix.smugmug.com/History/The-General-Store/25482546_cMH4Sz They seem a little flat to me. I dunno how to really express it. Not enough contrast perhaps? If The White Hat is the subject, it should be more in focus than the raincoat hanging off to the side. Sepia toning on The Kegs is a little overdone. Needs a richer BW with just a hint of brown. Tin Cups is the best of the lot. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Geso The General Store
I like them as a photo essay... the old-timey objects better .. With Bruce on the Brooms, but I like the white hat.. and the straw hat too. Even the square thumbnails are kinda nice - but I still prefer thumbnails to have the same aspect ratio as the actual photos. don't really like the smugmug theme background you chose, though... I keep wanting to wipe the little white specs off the sky. I'mtoo sleepy to be coherent though ann On 9/25/2012 16:39, Bruce Walker wrote: I'm outside of my comfort zone critiquing these, Don. :-) But I'll give you my candid reactions, fwiw.
