philipus Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11522 Posted February 19, 2016 I like the Verdun photo very much Henry. About the macro setup, it looks as if you have one of those IR cut (?) filters in the second photo. If so, why? br philip 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11523 Posted February 19, 2016 A very nice portrait. The 'look' in the horse's eyes goes well with the barbed wire.

philipus Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11524 Posted February 19, 2016 Thank you David. I also think the b&w version is better because it brings out the contrasts in the image more powerfully. And Reservoir Dogs is one heck of a movie so I feel flattered The Flickrati also seem to like this version better than the colour one. I prefer this. There is something 'Reservoir Dogs' about this photo to me - not the compliment you were probably looking for ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benqui Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11526 Posted February 19, 2016 To me it is number one. I like the Colors and the Special mood more as in numer 2. I also prefer the perspective with the blurred background in number 1. best regards Marc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11527 Posted February 19, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Second one for me. It's the way I would see it normally, all in focus from front to rear. Gary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwolffensperger Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11528 Posted February 19, 2016 First one, softer and smoother to the eye. Also the more curved line of the buoys is more interesting, just like the symmetrical oof ships in the background. Great shot, with wonderful colours! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11530 Posted February 19, 2016 Two versions again. I know they differ a lot in framing but I'm curious, which do you prefer and why? 203FE 80/2.8 on Portra 160 and scanned with the Coolscan 9000 (wet mount). Flickr Flickr interesting comparison that probably could serve as the basis for a psycho-analytical test of some kind Clearly a matter of personal taste But my choice would be the first. Reasons: 1. my eyes are drawn to the foreground in either case 2. the added depth in the second doesn't lead my eye very deep. Perhaps if the floating balls we more prominent in the distance my view would be different. But I don't think that the random floating devices (like the red thingy) add anything. So I don't think there is much depth to the photo that carries all the way from the foreground to the background. I see depth from the foreground to the mid-ground. But that is where is stops for me. 3. Bokeh is always lovely and the colors of your premium portra film stock make it particularly the case here. It outweighs the interest from the DOF that for me stops at the mid-ground. 4. I also like the clear translucence of the water in the foreground in the first. It is very crisp and refreshing and conveys a tropical feel Either photo would make a great stock photo and you should consider submitting them to Getty... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11535 Posted February 19, 2016 Immediate thought on seeing the colours - J M W Turner-ish. Au-naturel or saturation & luminosity boosted? Stunning result! Thanks, Keith. Really appreciate the link and i will look into it. The processing is typically quite extensive for me but not because i spend time boosting saturation and changing colors but rather for the simple reason that I start with a very flat scan which deliberately has low contrast and satuation. I then go through the process of mostly adjusting the contrast levels, but on a very local level using the various white/highlight/light and black/darks values. Through this process the drama is infused according to my vision and the colors come into their own and fall into place. I did this with a giant print on Fujiflex paper in mind (which is not cheap but has awesome contrast, depth and sharpness). It was a high contrast scene and i tried to keep the shadows and highlights where they naturally were and convey the emotional charge that i had while looking at this most surreal scene first hand. Thanks again for your feedback! Well Adam, thanks a lot ! Happy to read this with my morning coffee :-) Awesome colors and exposure , vintage 6x9 with Zeiss WA lens? Cheers , JM Hi Jean-Marc - yes, i shot this with a 6x9 film back with my 1958 Linhof Technika Press and legendary custom fit Zeiss Biogon 53mm. The lens is only single coated but optically a real gem and one of the most highly sought after vintage MF lenses. The corner to corner sharpness when stopped down properly is remarkable from such an old lens. I tried out the very popular and highly praised modern Schneider super angulon XL 47mm last month and was suprised at how much fall off there was even on a 6x9 film; it made me appreciate the biogon even more. I try to use the single coating to my advantage as a unique look. I am not convinced that the level of coating matter all the much (or at least as much) with a hybrid digital workflow Thanks again and cheers!

EoinC Posted February 19, 2016 Share #11539 Posted February 19, 2016 Two versions again. I know they differ a lot in framing but I'm curious, which do you prefer and why? 203FE 80/2.8 on Portra 160 and scanned with the Coolscan 9000 (wet mount). Flickr Flickr I like them both, but prefer the 1st one. The 2nd one requires looking around (which is a nice voyage of discovery, but the first one "just is" - It is subtle all the way, including the sea / sky interface (something that used to be called a horizon). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
