Advertisement Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 Hi Rolo, Take a look here By the bay. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
gverdon Posted December 2, 2006 Share #2 Posted December 2, 2006 Brilliant control of light in the sky, which looks very colorful in BW. The foreground, IMO, could have a little more detail (or less). My eye try to "read" this part, because of the apparent structures, but can't read it well.

martinop Posted December 2, 2006 Share #3 Posted December 2, 2006 Like much the setting and use of the sky lighting. The details and contrast are excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted December 3, 2006 Gerald, pleased you like it. The lighting is a struggle. For me, it's a picture of a sky. The sun has gone down and is lighting the underside of the clouds. Effectively, there is no light hitting the walls facing the camera. Retaining the highlights and keeping shoadow detail required careful metering. The details there have been dodged and curved extensively to avoid a silhouette. Pushing them further starts to break up the detail for little effect IMO. You would not be satisfied with a straight print. The print has greater depth than the screen and shadow detail can lie further down the scale and be pleasing. Thank you Martin as well. It's the comments that keep the posters posting.

azzo Posted December 3, 2006 Share #5 Posted December 3, 2006 Rolo, i have looked at this image for a while before i decided to comment. Most probably, everyone comes across a difficult image like this, and would not end up with such good results. IMHO, pushing further to get more detail in the foreground, would have killed the magic of this image. There is just enough detail on the church, without it, being overpowering. What i note is the different shades from the foreground to the background. A marvelous image, composition wise and rendered. Very well seen and captured.

It's just across the water from you. You can get there from New York with 4 days steaming. It's in North Wales. Thanks for your kind words. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elansprint72 Posted December 3, 2006 Share #9 Posted December 3, 2006 Rol, I think I know this one.......! That is Moel y Gest mountain to the right of the chapel, Carn Fadryn in the far distance, so this must be taken from about where the toll road meets the main road to Harlech? Lovely shot. Cheers, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have a place at Tudweiliog, so I've seen that profile before, in fact Mrs Pete made it to the top of Moel y Gest when she was 8 months pregnant! Keep 'em comin'. Pete.

stunsworth Posted December 3, 2006 Share #12 Posted December 3, 2006 Is your shot a cemetery on the coast road to the east of Barmouth? If so you did very well to miss the telephone poles :-) Welcome, dear visitor!

andybarton Posted December 4, 2006 Share #16 Posted December 4, 2006 Regardless of where this is, it's a jolly good photograph of it I am only a couple of hours away at the most - I think that I ought to make more of these opportunities available to me...

Rolo Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share #17 Posted December 4, 2006 Thanks Pete, it was a guess on my part - obviously wrong :-) Steve, not intending to offend with the re-direction of your question, but Pete is my self-assigned location database and i's the only one he got right on first attempt. So i lettig him bask in his glory. There is only one he's not asked about, yet, and that's the bike. Andy, it's good to get out, there's always a result. DTD, when will our Xmas macaroons be ready? Will meet again to consume . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolo, you are obviously right about the screen/print depth and intensity. I must keep that in mind. So I'm only talking about this web version. I understand your point and your choices, although I'd be tempted to treat the foreground wall as a silhouette. Still, and I repeat myself, a wonderful control of light for a delightful result.

Always try to retain some detail in a shadow area. The RHS of the wall is very short of detail in the negative to start with and was the most troublesome part of the image to treat.
