MarkP Posted March 8, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) M9, 21mm Lux I'm fairly new to the 21mm, and this part of the Forum. I assume the tower has been photographed once or twice before! Comments & criticism greatly appreciated. Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Hi MarkP, Take a look here Eiffel Tower (ad nauseum). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted March 8, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2011 Mark - A truly beautiful set, but even though the pixel size is within Forum rules, the file sizes are way over (max about 330kb, maybe smaller -- I forget), so I'm about to reduce them and replace them. This might introduce artifacts, in which case if you reduce the file sizes and send copies to me I'll replace my versions with yours. stuart.nordheimer@opco.com. Why? A number of members do not have high speed Internet access, and a number of members pay hefty prices based on downloaded data quantity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted March 8, 2011 Hi Stuart, I'm glad you liked the series. Regarding the file size, I complied with the recommended sizes listed in the attachment manager: max size 960x960 ≤615.2kb (with all files less than 524kb) If you still need to reduce them and there's a problem I will send you smaller files per your suggestion. Kind regards, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted March 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted March 8, 2011 Mark, An outstanding series with terrific patterns and geometry, lovely tones and crisp sharpness. These are shots that one should never tire of seeing. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

likalar Posted March 8, 2011 Share #6 Posted March 8, 2011 Wow, these photographs are so beautifully crafted! I'm blown away by the clarity of the metalwork and the tonality, but what is really exciting is the abstraction of the structure as a result of your careful framing, cropping, and tilting of this icon into beautiful, new shapes. I guess the lighting designer deserves some credit, too. ;-) Very well done! Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted March 8, 2011 Share #7 Posted March 8, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Mark - I've replaced them with the latest versions you sent to me. As much as I liked them before, they've continued to grow on me . Wonderful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share #8 Posted March 10, 2011 Thank you all for your comments. Larry, I was exceptionally lucky with the light on New Years Eve as there was an extraordinary fog which glowed yellow all around the tower (#1 below). You're right that the structure is very well lit. Furthermore, I could not have achieved these images handheld @ISO 400, 1/15-30sec without the Lux's. A few more B&Ws (#2-4) Also, there was also an ice bar and iceskating rink on the 1st level where the kids skated for an hour or so (#5).

likalar Posted March 10, 2011 Share #9 Posted March 10, 2011 Mark, I clicked and got an "invalid attachment" message. Larry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share #10 Posted March 11, 2011 Hi Larry, I'll have to ask the system administrator as I the files open immediately for me. Sorry about that but I'll follow it up. Regards, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 11, 2011 Share #11 Posted March 11, 2011 I am not the administrator, but Mark asked me to have a look. I can't see the latest attachments either. If members follow the advice I gave in the video regarding resizing and uploading images, everyone will be able to see them without a problem. Max size 960 pixels, max file size 300 kb unless you are a sponsor, in which case the size is around 500 kb The videos are in sticky threads at the top of the "About the Leica Forum" section.

MarkP Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share #12 Posted March 11, 2011 Try again, resized to <300kb but should have accepted ≤615.2kb as I'm a sponsor. Hopefully it worked this time....please let me know Mark ps: does clicking on the red attachment titles on my previous post bring up the images in their larger format? Welcome, dear visitor!

likalar Posted March 11, 2011 Share #13 Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks, Mark, for the reload. <<ps: does clicking on the red attachment titles on my previous post bring up the images in their larger format?>> No, I still get no result from those links. The additional photos now are displayed perfectly, approx. the same size as the earlier presentation. The first of the new shots, with the piercing light rays, is quite beautiful. Again, thanks.

robert_parker Posted March 23, 2011 Share #20 Posted March 23, 2011 I remember taking some images of the tower from the bottom up a few years ago when in Paris at the same time of year. It's odd that these views are a rarely seen aspect of such a famous building. I particularly like the mood of your 24mm B+W set and in particular the geometry and composition of the second image.
