philipus Posted November 3, 2015 Share #7582 Posted November 3, 2015 Trying to follow the thread as best I can these days. Here's one from a recent trip to Sweden when I visited the Grimeton world heritage site. Well worth a visit.

My guess is that it would be smoother, and thus more pleasing to my eyes. Th grain in the second looks a little pixelated to me on the web Edited November 3, 2015 by A miller 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted November 3, 2015 Share #7586 Posted November 3, 2015 Henry - just viewed both photos again on a larger screen and noticed that #2 is framed differently. So to clarify my comment above, I like the framing of #2 better but the rendering of #1 better. Best, Adam 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted November 4, 2015 Share #7589 Posted November 4, 2015 Initially I said to myself "#2". Then I looked at both a few more times and feel that #1 is my pick. The empty space mid-section draws the eye in. I started liking the dark and foreboding rocks in #2, but then felt they actually "cluttered" the image. Just me though. Both are exeptional.

philipus Posted November 4, 2015 Share #7591 Posted November 4, 2015 Hi Adam I like both, well done. Photo #2 is nice because of the layers, rocks, poles, buildings, sky. I think an image like this becomes strong due to symmetry and simplicity. I like the runway-like empty water leading the viewer into the skyscrapers and that the water has more texture. So #1 wins for me. The only thing I would consider changing is the crop (but keep the framing/ratio). On the right-hand side I would remove the piece of building (or is a tree?) at the edge. This would put the little cloud very close to the edge but that doesn't disturb. It's a bit like a mole on a beautiful woman's face, if you see what I mean, the slight imperfection that elevates the beauty of the image. On the left-hand side I would move the edge to the right so that it either is just to the right of the closest pole or cuts through the second-closest whole pole. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted November 4, 2015 Share #7592 Posted November 4, 2015 This is from the Japanese garden here in The Hague. It is open for two weeks during the autumn and this was on the last day. Though I shot with fast film I shot wide open in the hope that it would give a sort of painterly effect. Flickr 203FE 80/2.8 Provia 400X 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur Posted November 4, 2015 Share #7593 Posted November 4, 2015 This one is off center and not as symmetrical... Interesting question, I see them as different photographs and not a comparison. I like the symmetry of the first, it is an easy picture to look at, while the second my eye is taken on a tour, settling on the foreground first, before being drawn to the open sky on the left before completing the circle and returning to the foreground. As an emotional experience the second picture then is more satisfying. (For me) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncorrected for both and this one ? http://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/252514-fort-ross-in-fog/ Best Henry Sorry again for the late reply , sometimes I ask mysel if not to do another job * .... To go back to two photos above let me explain : the two photos were taken at the same time but within a few minutes, until I change the Summicron 28 to -5 ° C from M8 to M7 (yes it's cold, I had frozen fingers, and it was a freezing fog at 7:00 am) runners for the first picture are gone (rightly noticed by Ingrid but sorry) To answer Adam, I've just developed the photo 2 on photo paper , it is much prettier compared to the first developed on paper inkjet Epson by my laboratory Leica Council ! Let's say , the photo 1 digital is ordinary , certainly very clear, It's suitable but for an artistic photo with a soul , the film of picture 2 is much better. Thanks all specially Ingrid, Adam , Pierre to let your advice about these pictures Here some fog pictures print on paper Ilford "bright " Welcome, dear visitor!

Doc Henry Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share #7595 Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) Adam I like both as Philip but with a preference for the second who has more spatial effect with rocks in the foreground The color is superb on both of your pictures.

On the left-hand side I would move the edge to the right so that it either is just to the right of the closest pole or cuts through the second-closest whole pole. Thank you, Philip. I really appreciate your comments. I will have a go at the slight cropping later tonight. I didn't even notice the fraction of the lightpole on the far right. I think cropping that out couldn't hurt. And I probably could do that w/o eliminating the small cloud, which from my perspective is really critical to the image b/c it is pink and lets the view know that the bluish sky in the upper right corner (in which the tiny pink cloud sits) is really blue sky and not a problem with vignetting or poor PP. The color range from warm to cool running from the left to the right is, to me, part of the interest of the photo. As for the cropping on the left side, I will play around and see if I can make a tweak work without losing too much of the orange area on the horizon, which I think is important to the color palette. (But I do see what you mean about the slight errant pole on the extreme bottom left corner.) Thanks again. Looks like I may be in London on the week of the 15 and then again on the week of the 30th, if you or anyone else feels like squeezing in some shooting before or after work hours in central London (or possible from Canary Wharf, where I will be staying)...
