Hi Ian,

 

This is very nicely composed and I like the depth of field.

 

Very interesting subject too.

Ian, great stuff and great use of the 28. The foreground elements add a lot.

As our Deutsche Freunde would say, Sehr gut!

Bonus points for using film as well.

cheers from Brisbane

Ian -

 

When we were in the area (first of five visits so far to Oz) unseasonable rains preceded us, so the red center was beautifully dotted with lush greenery. Unfortunatley, the road from Uluru to Kata Juta was flooded so we never got very close. Thank you for posting this lovely shot of it. Terrific light, colors and composition.

Like the environment / scene + the color & lighting tones.

für da naechst mal:

1 Schritt nach links, dann verdeckt der Baum den Felsen nicht. Ausserdem haette man den Baum nicht unbedingt abschneiden muessen. Und - etwas weniger Grass im Vordergrund hätte besser gewirkt - also entweder ran ans Motiv oder ein 35 mm Objektiv wählen.

Danke Bernard, aber ich kann nur eine kleine Deutsch sprächen. Englisch, bitte?

for the next time:

one step to the left, then the tree would not cover the rock. There was no need to cut the tree on the right side. A little less grass would have been fine - so you should have change the position or take a 35 mm objektive. When the grass should be the motive the position of the camera had to got down. So the picture has no real motove, its a collection of parts of an intersting landscape, but it has no balance. Bring things in relation together. But this is only the opinion of an old geologist. Sorry about my bad english.

Thanks,

 

Am I glad I asked?

 

With best wishes,

Please don´t be angry. Australian landscape has great possibilities for your camera. As an inspiration look ad the grandmaster of landscape photographing Ansel Adams.

The Ansel Adams Gallery

So lets be borthers in the mention of Leica.

Hi Bernhard,

 

I've been in enough camera clubs over the years to be able to cope with criticism, but after so many positive comments, I have to admit to being surprised by your post. Although there is some truth to your comments, I would beg to differ in some other aspects. Please be assured that I wasn't angry. In the past there have been some nasty comments posted on the forum and perhaps because of those many are fearful of posting criticisms. Your comments were not nasty and were in full accord with the positive criticisms that we ought perhaps to see more of in this forum. So, even though I suffered a slightly dented ego, I thank you.

 

With best wishes,

 

Ian
