pauledell Posted April 2, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 2, 2013 Brian, A lovely picture. Too bad you didn't have a person without the sense to stay out of the rain walking down the road. That would have made it perfect. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikiphoto Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted April 2, 2013 Thank you. You're right Paul. I didn't even have my dogs with me on that walk. It was my first time out with the MM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJP Posted April 2, 2013 Share #5 Posted April 2, 2013 The image is great, all the embellishments do not work for me at all. A picture, is a picture, is a picture. Warts and all, sometimes horizons are not OK, sometimes we worry about color & contrast, do we actually care? If the image is great as in this case I don't think so (or at least hope). For me (personal choice) keep it simple and minimalistic, nearly like food should be. Anyway, this is a very good photograph IMHO. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJP Posted April 2, 2013 Share #7 Posted April 2, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Anyway, did I tell you how much I like this photograph? Probably not, apologies. I like it a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikiphoto Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted April 2, 2013 Anyway, did I tell you how much I like this photograph? Probably not, apologies. I like it a lot. You did thanks Stephen But I was just about to come back to ask if you were referring just to the frame or to the toning as well because I felt the toning added to the sense of impending tempest.

I like sepia tone, it reminds me of my parents, my grand uncle Len (he was a remarkable character) a whole pile of stuff but for me this photo does not need anything more than straight B/W and certainly no edge decoration. That there is an impending storm is clear enough:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikiphoto Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Like this... in fact looking at this more the storm looks more threatening than in the toned version.

platypus Posted April 2, 2013 Share #12 Posted April 2, 2013 Great shot. There's nothing like an MM!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafikiphoto Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share #13 Posted April 2, 2013 Thank you. Yes, it is a fantastic tool and a lovely thing to own. The 50mm Summicron seems to suit it perfectly. I have a 28mm Summicron on order and will be interested to see how that compares. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJP Posted April 3, 2013 Share #14 Posted April 3, 2013 Like this... in fact looking at this more the storm looks more threatening than in the toned version.Indeed, it is scary. One wonders how the storm will develop, the symmetry is bleak and foreboding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

platypus Posted April 4, 2013 Share #17 Posted April 4, 2013 I looked at these again today and would be hard put to choose between the toned and untoned versions, I like them both very much, they both have a terrific mood. While looking at them so closely I noticed some (what appears to be) sensor dust spots in the clouds top right of frame. One might think that it would be reasonable to assume that a brand new camera would come with a perfectly pristine sensor, but they don't seem to. Personally I seem to spend an amazing amount of time dotting-out little dots in my clouds. Dee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted April 4, 2013 Share #18 Posted April 4, 2013 Like this... in fact looking at this more the storm looks more threatening than in the toned version. [ATTACH]369448[/ATTACH] I like the toned version better although the toning is a bit more than I like, but there is more seperation of the tones in that one as opposed to the second version which leaves little in the tones and the sky is a bit too dark.

However I can't think what they are as all shots before and since haven't exhibited any spotting at all. I haven't had time yet to replace them with corrected shots. Just to be sure I am going to do some tests today. Edited April 4, 2013 by rafikiphoto Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted April 4, 2013 Share #20 Posted April 4, 2013 You know they will only be visible when the lens is stopped right down and against a lightish background such as clouds? (don't be horrified!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
