LIke it a lot... if it looked like that on 7th street I might have gone 
out today :-)
However, I had to reduce it to 67%, after copied the link to view in 
chrome.   I dont know what Firefox is doing to me, but if I just click 
the hotlink from
Thunderbird I can't change the image size using the keyboard + or - on 
your site.  I can in Chrome...


Same thing with several others... sigh

Neat Dan. The Green Herons were not as common as they are now at Radnor 
Lake until Katrina. Once that storm blew in then it seems a lot of birds 
starting appearing locally that haven't been seen before it.


I wonder if perhaps that could be the case with your Blue or perhaps it 
just discovered the body of water.

Thanks everyone!  That means you, Frank, Dan, Alan, Marco, Dave, Jack 
and Mark - and future participants.


This was shot with the settings TAV 1/250  f5.6 on the K-5 ..  the 
system gave me 3200 for the ISO.


FOr ages I've been shooting digital with aperture at 5.6 or 6.3 and ISO 
400 (as if I were using my old lx and trix)
But remembering that with the LX I set the shutter speed to 1/250 and 
the ap to f8 and bracket the aperture
quickly if needed - or slowly if I had the luxury of time, I thought I'd 
try the TAV mode.


I cropped this shot a little but not a lot.  Getting the rain streaky 
like that was pure luck - I would have thought 1/250th
was to fast to produce that - I was mainly on to the juextaposition of 
the blue people and the pink drugs  rocker.


anyway - happy you guys liked it

While not the point of your post, I
like the 5.6 and 6.3 for their tendency
to soften bokah.
Not being eager to shoot (generally)
with a tripod, or punch up the ISO,
they are border line slow for my version of hand holding.

Very nice effect;  I can almost feel the rain.  The expressions and
postures of the umbrella couple grab one's attention immediately, and
the poster on the bus really adds a lot to the whole scene.

Another great taste of the city, Ann.

Dan,

I like it.  It has the feeling of the raw, cold, wet day we had in Philly 
(though we had more slush!).

One problem with the presentation:  It is either kinda small on photo.net, or 
considerably larger than my 1440x900 screen.  I find 700 pixels vertically to 
work pretty well.

Cheers,

Hmmm. It's been a fairly wet October here. Not.oppressively so, but
still fairly grey much of the time.

This photo was one that got away. I mean it's okay, but only just.

When I first saw them there was no taxi and other pedestrian; I could
see past them across the street and right down the sidewalk to some
small figures with umbrellas. Very moody but not intrusive

However I couldn't shoot because of a newspaper box obstructing my
view of them. By the time I manoeuvred myself to get a clear shot the
damned taxi was there. I shot one anyway then one of them shifted
position and it was gone.

So this is the best I could get. Frustrating because I had a glimmer
of a much better shot...

;-)


The thing about taxis is they move on again fairly soon. I wonder if you
could have gotten another shot if you had lingered there for a bit?

Re: peso - rainy day

2011-12-05 Thread Igor Roshchin

Sasha,

I like the photo and the mood. 

While I in general like the square format photos, this one 
doesn't seem to work best for me.
Somehow, I want to have it horizontally extended, along the tunnel
of light. But at the same time, cutting the top off wouldn't work for me.
So, I guess taking the circumstances (that you can not change the scene), 
I'd keep it in the current crop format.

I like it as is, but wonder whether there are in fact two different images 
contained in
it.
One involves cropping the heavy ceiling area out, up to the last millimetre or 
so, leaving
just a touch as a frame.
Two is much more dramatic, cropping to a long vertical format just to the left 
of the edge
of the drain-pipe and also cutting out most of the ceiling, as in the first 
suggestion.
This crop leaves the man walking into the frame, which is generally considered 
more
dynamic, I think.

Hi Sasha:  I like this shot.  I think the position you catch the man in is just 
right.  I like the tonality of this as well.  But my eye sees the crop 
differently.  I'd crop a bit off the bottom, say up past the reflection of the 
top half of the man in the water (lower right of frame). To me this gives more 
power to the man walking.  Cheers, Christine

Funny, I didn't even notice it was square format until Ann mentioned it. I 
think that's because it felt so natural to me.

I wouldn't change the crop a bit. To me the dark area at the top emphasizes the 
bright buildings outside, and I really like seeing the whole reflection of the 
man, so I wouldn't take anything off the bottom.

I dunno. It just really works for me as is.

Wonderful photo!

I like the colors, and the reflections of the brick buildings.

When I look at it critically, I can't find anything wrong with it, or 
much that could be done better, though there are a couple of things I 
would try differently.  The more I analyze it the more that I can find 
to appreciate in it, but, I just don't particularly like it, and I don't 
know why.

When I first saw it, my initial thought was that it would be better in a 
horizontal format. I understand why you want the whole reflection of the 
man, even so, the first thing I would do would be to crop it so that the 
top of the photo is just below the shadow at the top of the frame. I'd 
also crop the bottom of the photo about where the reflection of the 
pillar, going up, furst intersects the pavement, rather than the puddle, 
about even with the reflection of the man's right arm.


Another thing that I'd try is to crop off the whole top half of the 
photo, just showing from the man's knees down.  To me, the reflections 
of the buildings, and the man are the interesting parts of the photo, 
and the rest (the non reflected bits) don't add much anything of 
interest, boring exposition rather than an interesting question.

I agree.

I'd also like to see the frame before if there is one. I think it 
might also be a better photo if he were entering rather than leaving the 
frame.

USM has to be done very carefully on a high-frequency image like

I'd try again, sharpening selectively only on areas that need it.

Tom,
It's inviting yet with a hint of foreboding that I find mysteriously
interesting.
Like the crescent horizon and the total volume of the scene.
If I were playing with it in PS, I might give it a click of contrast to
see if the separation of color plains added further interest.
Actually, it needs nothing more, but I can't seem to stop messing with
an image if I like it.

USM has to be done very carefully on a high-frequency image like  this. It

I'd try again, sharpening selectively only on areas that need it.

Tom,
How do you usually tour the area, given personal vehicles can barely enter 
the park except on a lottery basis?

The last several times to Denali, I've stayed deep in the park near the western 
boundary, past Wonder Lake, in a place called Camp Denali. Somewhat pricey, but 
IMHO definitely worth it for the opportunities it affords (especially 
photographic). You pay an all encompassing fee for 3 or 4 day packages that 
include pickup @ the park entrance, a 6-7 hour bus ride to the facility, all 
food (very good meals), accommodations in separate log cabins (with wood stove 
 propane lights) all overlooking THE mountain (which is around 25 mils 
directly south). Your fee includes all of activities offered by the camp. Their 
buses are allowed to roam the roadway at will. The last several times, I 
arranged to be there during photo workshop, (late August/early Sept.) sponsored 
by Camp Denali  led by Geo Lepp.
Your only other options are to camp in the park, but you are still at the mercy 
of the bus system for transportation. The park does dole out permits to pro 
photogs that allow them to use their own vehicles on the park roads for a 
limited time period. At the end of the season the park does allow (on a limited 
basis) for private vehicles to use the park roads.  

BTW do you know where the buses turned around? Eileson visitor center used to 
be one of the turn around points (along with Wonder Lake)

I think they're both strong images, Val.  I like the second one,
because there's more fog or mist around the mountain to be seen.

I think I prefer the first one, though.  The solitary kayak, the
mountain on the right, sticking out of the lake like some sort of a
lone sentinal - to me it speaks to the isolation of the wilderness -
definitely a different mood from the second, and one that says more to
me.  I also like that the kayak is so bright, a real contrast from the
dreary day - nice juxtaposition that only re-inforces the mood of
alone-ness.  Great shot, overall.

Townships or Laurentians?  Beautiful area, wherever it is!

I'd choose #1.  I think the composition is stronger with the kayak looming 
large in the foreground.  The photo has some 'depth'.  I also like the color 
contrast of the bright blue with the subdued background colors.

The second shot seems 'flat' compared to the first, and the background boats 
that are only partially visible distract from the composition.  Imagine it 
without them there.  Not sure what the white dots are to the left of the 
leftmost boat, but they also seem to distract.

Number 1 is very pleasing though.

Hmmm, tough choice. I haven't read the other comments yet, but I'm forging
ahead anyway.

Don't be offended, but I don't care for either. Instead, I like parts of
both. The first one has got a great balance to it with the curving,
cloud-shrouded peak in the upper right third and the kayak in the lower left
third. But the kayak doesn't do it for me. Too modern and new, not enough
history. IMO, boats in pictures need to have character and age to make me
wonder How did that get there? What's its story?

Okay, the second one has better boats in that they create angles and lines
that attract my eye, plus there's the old wood under the boats. But the
peaks in the background aren't as curvy as the first.

Anyway, there's my US$.02.

a great contrast the the drab mountain behind. The reflection is good in
the water also.




Cheers,

I agree with Caveman - and I also prefer it has it has more contrast
throughout the pic, giving it greater visual impact and also showing the
subject more dramatically and clearly.  The second shot, just lacks punch,
to me...

Well, that's what happens when the thread is too long ;-)
Thanks to all that commented. I quite knew that the one with the blue 
boat is stronger, but the blue looked a little bit too garish, however 
the other one was closer to the spirit of the place (but then I was 
the only one to know). I couldn't decide myself. Maybe if I had the red 
canoe in place of the blue boat it would had been a better photo ;-)

Thanks !

lol! sorry guys, that's what *I* get for skipping over posts!

Of course, I meant that I agree with Peter! And Val, I do like the blue
canoe shot much better! Although, I do like the red and green tones of other
shot too...
