philipus Posted November 24, 2015 Share #8021 Posted November 24, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Really like the below shot, Adam, and how the light pours in gently from the left. Ektar does wonders for feathers so I can understand the birds came flocking along quickly One minor thing (which is likely due to my eyes) - given the prominent spot of the tall building, perhaps check if it is completely vertical? From Central Park looking southEKTAR very funny, Trev. Actually, I just told them that I was shooting with EKTAR and they all came rushing to be in the photo Very creative use of the branches at the top. The effect is quite startling when compared to the shot below. Sincere thanks, James.Here are a couple of more for consideration....Tmax 400 with a red filter for dramatic effect (and the branches creeping in to fill the dead space in the sky and somewhat mimic the specks of the ducks below).. James, I like this one a lot. It has a timeless and tender feel to it. I like when the main subject is at the edge/corner like this because it forces the viewer to really look at a photo to see what's going on. It's particularly nice with larger foreground objects with striking shapes, like in your photo.

Thanks a lot, Philip. I really appreciate your close and expert look. You've stumped me on the leveling. It is possible that you are right. I have tinkered with the leveling and, while not obvious, it is possible that the image could use a single notch tilt toward the left. But I have gone back and forth numerous times and I can't come away with a conclusion. I will continue to beat this up and compare and I'm sure it will in time (before print) become clear. Thanks again (and also for the comment regarding the recently posted B&Ws). Best, Adam 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted November 24, 2015 Share #8023 Posted November 24, 2015 Mother and son, Central Park, New York Elmar 50, Tri-X James Wow, James. This is beautiful. I have to find this spot!! (Any hints would be appreciated ) I love the misty feel to it and how you resisted introducing more shadow detail into the rock in the foreground. It has plenty of shadow detail as it is and the dark tones work well in focusing the eye to the right. Well done! Do you know these people? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted November 24, 2015 Share #8028 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) It's a good point to include the scanner used, at least occasionally, since that plays a rather big part in the result. I use a Coolscan 9000 mostly and a V ED sometimes. Btw in the German forum there was a scanner example thread that's interesting (though it died in 2012).

gnuyork Posted November 24, 2015 Share #8029 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I use the DiMage 5400 and I must say I am having trouble with it lately too. But when it works I am really impressed with the scan quality. I am getting 16 x 24 inch prints that look flawless from Kodachrome slides.

It has plenty of shadow detail as it is and the dark tones work well in focusing the eye to the right. Well done! Do you know these people? Thanks, Adam. It was a very overcast, misty morning. I was unhappy at first but changed my mind completely as the day progressed. This location is just barely inside the park, by the southeast corner of "The Pond" looking north toward the little footbridge that you can see in the background. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 25, 2015 Share #8040 Posted November 25, 2015 Setting this, Ric, I don't think you have any reason to feel that you must switch to something else than XP2. Very nice, with strong contrast and great composition. For me, XP2 is great on the whites, and handles contrasts really well. So since my "return to film" it's become my first love. That day was *bright* and waaaay beyond sunny 16 (definitely higher than EV15 and maybe somewhere between EV16 and EV17) so I was nicely pleased I had anything to show for it. Basically, XP2 saved me. :-) Nice one, Ric. Really like it. That tree reminds me of Canary Wharf (You might check the leveling of the horizon.) Hah! Bloody Canary Wharf. What *is* good about the Wharf is that the natives are too busy strutting about with a mobile phone to their ear to worry about some country bumpkin like me pointing a camera at them. If ever there's a definition of wildlife, it's them. :-) Ric p.s. Many, many friends and close colleagues work there, and if you're ever there lemme know 'cos there's a bar I know... and a cracking Indian restaurant.
