The only thread that I can remember getting this much action was the photo of the nude that got deleted because of obscenity issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

like_no_other Posted March 1, 2007 Share #64 Â Posted March 1, 2007 Pictures that are not composed according to the typical rules of composition can be very good if there is nothing in the composition that disturbs your eye. This picture is good. It's a snapshot of the situation that you walk along a sleepy city in the south where you have never been before, are relaxed, happy with the climate, the colors, that the street is not too crowdy, maybe a little bit tired from your walk that already took some hours, come along a corner, see a building, the colors and the palm that you like and like to photograph, and just click your camera. The picture shows how the photographer felt in this happy hour. Very good. Too funny that someone mentioned the stones of the street. They caught my eyes too, especially the red lines.

pemayeux Posted March 5, 2007 Share #65  Posted March 5, 2007 Nice shot William. I'm surprised a shot like this could generate some controversy but I like it. The lighting, which looks like it was taken around midday is well handled – the sky is great and the color of the stucco against the sky with the white trim is very nice. I also like the replication of the palm trees form in the shadow on the pavement, which is exposed spot on as you can still see detail. That 35 cron ASPH is a great lens for this shot – I would have picked it out of anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, some here appear to think that Barnack's camera can only be used to capture squalor with murky, fuzzy images. Curious...  Since you are an architect, I expect you see the same things I did. It is a key-hole shot since there was a building on the left in total shadow and a similar one just out of frame to the right. Admit, I could have cropped a bit off the bottom, but I hate to crop since I frame so carefully. I wanted a record of this incongruous architecture with the tropical palms and got what I wanted in this case. Ron suggested carrying a cat with me for the foreground, but I only had an MP .58 & 35/2 ASPH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
