A miller Posted November 5, 2015 Share #7626 Posted November 5, 2015 Sincere thanks especially to Brenton, James, Henry, Philip and Charles. I know everyone's time is short and I really appreciate the effort to make constructive remarks about my photos. It is really helpful. I have landed on the second myself but don't really think that even it is as good as one can do here. My reasoning. The first has an array of foreground elements, BUT they are random ineffective. I do love the row of larger rocks with ascending sizes (running from left to right), but this composition is clouded by the random, messy waste-site-looking rags and miscellaneous rocks. To me, this is a real lesson in having not just foreground, but foreground that makes sense. I have taken the liberty of cropping the image to remove some of the immediate foreground and bring the row of larger rocks more in focus. It is easy enough to go back to this site and retake the photo with the lessons learned, which I will do (maybe even today!). I like the second, as it has the added touch of the illumination of the buildings, as it was taken at the magic hour. But I don' think it is a total winner either. But I might make an analog print just to see how it comes out. What I a feel like I am missing in order to make these images really sing are clouds (possibly even clouds in motion with a long exposure, ideally in motion coming towards me). They would add more elements of interest and help frame the image. So I think I know how to make a really nice B&W photograph at this particular site and will wait for that right opportunity and try my luck. The right film? I'm thinking TMax 400 as it reacts fairly well to reciprocity failure, unlike Tri-X. But I am open to suggestions in this regard. Many thanks again and until next time! Adam Welcome, dear visitor!

MarkP Posted November 5, 2015 Share #7628 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Adam I prefer the second of the two B&W photos for similar reasons to you . Unfortunately, although it would have seemed reasonable to include the debris in the bottom of the frame it was, well, just debris and cluttered the photo. The second photo has a most elegant transition from the ancient large rough-surfaced rocks up to the vertical textured old wooden poles up to the verticals of the complex modern skyscrapers, all connected by the water. It can be read on so many levels. Clouds and just a touch of smoothed water would have literally been the icing on the cake.

Brenton C Posted November 5, 2015 Share #7629 Posted November 5, 2015 Going back a page to Henry's twin buildings, the striking geometric repetition combined with the contrast between them was really striking. At first I thought I was looking at something abstract, maybe a sculpture, before I realized I was looking up at two buildings. What a delightful effect! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I snapped a shot on my Blackberry in order to remember the spot. The next day I returned for the sunrise - bread crumbs in hand - and lured this lovely bird onto this pier for the shot with about a quarter of a loaf of bread Kodak EKTAR Welcome, dear visitor!
