Adam , a little black on my screen but it's not easy to take this picture in contre jour :)

 

thanks for the feedback, Henry. I intentionally underexposed in order to capture a silhouette look. I fully recognize, however, that my vision was not fully realized in the final result. I will keep trying! :)

Leica M6 & Summicron 50mm & Kodak BW400CN.

 

Wish I could claim anything more than good luck on this one. The lady was in her own world, so there was always going to be something in it, but somehow I clicked the shutter and also captured the younger guy looking at her. Bet she was a beauty when she was younger...

Hi Ric.

The woman does look to be in her own world, maybe thinking of the time she met her husband to be at this train station many years ago, the young man reminding her of her youth.

 

This is my interpretation to your beautiful, dreamy black and white image that will take on more «beauty» as it ages.

second version...

which do you like better??? I want to make an analog fiber print and can't quite decide (although I have my leaning).

Thanks for your vote :)

Adam, for the effect of perspective (and do not cut the seat to the right and not have the lamppost), I prefer the second for printing :)

Nice picture of snow

Adam,

 

I prefer the second which includes the lamppost and seat to the right. But with either, before you commit to a fiber print you should fix the trees and lampposts that are leaning over drunkenly or every time you look at the picture on the wall you'll notice it. The snow looks a shade grey to my eye (could be the delta between monitors though) and lacks the pristine punch that fresh snow naturally possesses so you might consider brightening it a touch.:)

Something like this, perhaps? Hope you do not mind me having a play, Adam!

Thanks, Pete, Keith and Henry, a LOT.

 

I love Keith's rendition. And I have no doubt that the printer in the lab can make the snow punch like snow (I diliberately made the snow gray in order to instruct the printer not to make it flat white and to try to extract as much detail as possible in the foot prints, shadows and bike track). But my question is: can I get the analog fiber printer to sober up the trees or will I have to fix it digitally as Keith has done and then run it through a digital printer??

If it is the latter, I will have suddenly lost all interest in my photo...

Thanks again.

I just went back to the negative for this and I realized that my crack leveling skills in LR mucked this all up. Here is a corrected version, with a little more punch to the snow. I have had a fiber print made recently involving snow and I thrilled with the picture overall but I wasn't thrilled with the lack of detail in the snow. So i am thinking that from the perspective of serving as a road map f what I want I should leave some grayness and detail in the snow and hopefully this will be translated appropriately in the print. I will make clear that I want "punchy white snow with max detail"

I would also point out that the 8X12 print will be made on white 11X14 paper, so there will be bright white borders and I'm thinking that I want to have snow and sky that is less than completely bright white; otherwise the photo will melt into the border and will lose its framing. (I could always just place a different shade of matte on the photo, but I like the idea of a single piece of photo paper for storage, presentation etc)

 

Any more thoughts? Thanks again; I've learned a lot
