I like both though I think the first one is more graphic, more complicated. Boris Shel Belinkoff wrote: Last Sunday Marnie and I took a drive to Napa, and as you may know from some of her posted pics, we came across this old, abandoned train station. It's interesting to note - at least for

Shel, I really like both of these. Especially the tonal range in the wider shot. There's horizontal, vertical and oblique angles everywhere but the framing seems to contain everything without it looking busy. -Brendan --- Shel Belinkoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Last Sunday Marnie and I took a

I'm coming to appreciate the term as well. It's certainly sounds more appealing than Nice capture or Good grab. Shel [Original Message] From: Kenneth Waller What do you mean by crafted images? IMO - Crafted image = a well thought out, planned executed image, more than a mere photo;

Nice lens that. The barrel looks strangely flat, as if it's a piece of cardboard or something. The picture are nicely taken - well crafted, as someone said - and convey a sense of emptiness well. However, the station doesn't feel abandoned to me. It looks as though perhaps it's maintained as a

Hi Bob, It's possible that I've said this before, but that K24/2.8 is one of my favorite lenses - it's certainly used a lot and, like the man on TV says, I don't leave home without it. At some point I'd like to try an A24/2.8 - gotta check the Boz site and see if the formula is the same. The

Both pictures are very good. I would myself have cut off some foreground (again..) of the Station Platform as the interest is all in that building. But as it is now with its square format it has some reminescence of the old-fashioned twin eye pictures. The Barrel and Window could be a tad darker
