dgc Posted February 27, 2016 Share #11921 Posted February 27, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) The handful of shots I uploaded this week from my 'new' Fuji GW690II were all landscapes, so yesterday I tried it out on the High St to see results in an urban environment and with the lens focussed at closer settings. The first one below is full frame with minimal PP in LR(CC) and then a hard crop to see how resolution is. I might just keep this camera... I am bowled over by the detail. I have the Fuji GF670 (the bellows type) and must say I am as equally impressed with that. But the 6x9 is a lovely format. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EoinC Posted February 27, 2016 Share #11926 Posted February 27, 2016 In choosing the angle of framing I can add more contrast , tonality like with Ektar the case of this picture 90 Macro Elmar Macro-adapter Leica M7 + Tripod Kodak Portra 160 Image23blekp160feclfht+++1000.jpg Macro Elmar , a really fabulous lens I do not regret having bought it .

christoph_d Posted February 27, 2016 Share #11929 Posted February 27, 2016 one more... I'm interested to know which composition strike you as most appealing, again, given the right light/color backdrop... Adam, Firstly, pan-f works fine, though I do think it never shows well on screen. I would like to see these in print. Also, colour, long term exposure etc. could add, at least to the first and third one, not so shure anout the second. Alternatively IR shots may be interesting depending on cloud coverage, but perhaps a dark red filter would do as well. The choice of viewpoint depends a bit on your intentions. The first picture, notwithstanding the already meantioned fact that the nose of the poor statue is stuck (sort of) in the ceiling, is basically a documentary view, recording the scene in an objective way ( as far as that is possible. I love the initial quote in Sally Mann's book "Hold Still": The steady eyes of the crow and the camera's candid eye See as honestly as they know how, but they lie. -W.H.Auden). Perhaps using colour film, which would add colour contrast particularly wrt streaking car lights, as you mentioned, would add a story. As it is, I do miss something in that shot. The second picture is a much more personal view of a photographer, and makes good use of the wide angle perspective to emphasise the view the statue has. Also, here, the distinction foreground (feet) and background, is well used. I find it unfortunate however, that the head of the figure is painfully hitting the edge of the building behind, and, if possible, would try to find a viewpoint that separates the figure from the background even more. In 35mm, a 1.4/21 lens at 1.4 may be worthwhile trying to keep the buildings out of focus, in large format Scheimpflug may come to your help, but then I don't know the adjustment possibilities of your Linhof, nor the imaging circle of your lenses. The third picture is sort of a mixture of picture 1 and 2. It keeps the central perspective of the first picture, but adds the upward view of the second, albeit less pronounced. In my view it may gain if the figure was freestanding, now it supports itself by holding on to the building on the left, and also if the perspective was more extreme, similar to the direction you took in the second shot. Best regards, and good light, Christoph 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith (M) Posted February 27, 2016 Share #11931 Posted February 27, 2016 Here are a couple of results from the roll of Ilford Pan-F 50 that I shot as per my message from Sunday. I think these are strong from a composition perspective although I think that my ideal shot would be with Ektar during either the onset of a sunset with clouds or during the magic hour with a bright navy blue sky (no clouds needed), in either case with long strings of red, orange and yellow car lights running along the length of the streets (resulting from the long exposure of ideally b/n 8 and 15 seconds). I have until July to execute as that it when this chrome guy is being removed... man2-1.jpg man1-1.jpg Catching up on things here after being totally engrossed with my 'new' GW690II and the three films taken & dev'd this week. So, to try and answer your question Adam. #1 would work very well with your envisaged streaks of lights from the traffic. #2 - not for me. The pose and the way his head is positioned is awkward. I think #3 would be my preference if the weather provides a suitably colourful backdrop and an image could be taken with no traffic zooming past his feet, as that would be a distraction. Just my two-pence worth! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
