leicamann Posted May 1, 2012 Share #3  Posted May 1, 2012 Nice set, I find the treatment of the images harsh and contrasty, maybe that was the idea to make it look like 1970's style B&W, back then it was for us at least, how many ways you can peal an orange,so thats what you did. Today, I am not sure any longer, I guess it has its place. More importantly, I like the "feel" in the imagery, the technical stuff can come at some other time.  Thanks for sharing  Cheers, JRM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The training camp was really a 70's style and very primitive in comparison with the more modern ones and I tried to pass how I felt there by processing the photos in a harsh and contrasty way. Probably the following images captured better the environment there:  [ATTACH]313447[/ATTACH] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  [ATTACH]313448[/ATTACH] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted May 1, 2012 Share #5 Â Posted May 1, 2012 A lovely set, including the two added later. I think the second one from the original set can be stronger still (becoming the strongest of the group) with a slight rotation to the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was right.. well you know I have not seen that kind of B&W for ages. Glad you remembered or used it, brings back lots of memories and nostalgia !!  Thanks again for sharing  Cheers, JRM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted May 1, 2012 Share #7 Â Posted May 1, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Excellent b&w shots. I happen to like the first two the most. To me, these have a "film" look . Â Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is the first one because I like how the horse's tail is moving in the air and in addition with the clouds in the sky, both give a sense of motion in the shot.
