christoph_d Posted December 11, 2016 Share #24742 Posted December 11, 2016 Here's a version with deeper blacks, as (I think aptly) suggested by Jean Marc... Adam, For me the darker. Personally it could overall be even darker, as it may appear more naturally that way. Rgds C. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbealnz Posted December 11, 2016 Share #24745 Posted December 11, 2016 For Gary(NZ), who quite some time ago asked for a comparison FOV for SWC vs SA21...Finally, I did something about it. Not very revealing photo's, and all were handheld from generally the same spot, without paying much attention to centre of focus, but... M6 w/ SA21... Thank you Eoin. Now I have this same ability I really need to get off my chuff and do it. Not a huge amount in it, but definitely different, to be expected I suppose. From my original reason though, if the ability to cover really wide can be had with the diminutive SA21 then it makes little sense to lug the SWC around Europe. Well it does at the moment.

philipus Posted December 11, 2016 Share #24747 Posted December 11, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi Adam, my pleasure, and yes this is exactly how I meant, well done for managing to decipher my unnecessarily complex description (!). I had a look at the comparison between the original and the one with deeper blacks and I think the photo may benefit from a slight pull on the black point lever. But I would still keep the shadows a bit up as in the original (this applies to Adobe Camera Raw where there are two sliders; I'm not sure if that works in other programs though) because I do enjoy seeing the detail. That said, I agree with J-M that it is a very graphic shot with striking lines and dominant areas of colour so one can have it that way too. It's either way a cracker. Btw I agree completely with your comment about this thread vs Flickr etc. I truly appreciate receiving constructive feedback on my photos (so keep it coming) and that rarely happens at Flickr where people prefer pasting in "Post one, comment on 100"-type prefab comments or "Great capture!" Incidentally I detest the word 'capture', it's not a bloody detention op, it's a photograph Huge thanks, J, Philip and Jean Marc. This is really how this thread is distinguishable from FB and Flickr. People spend a bit more time with a friendly and critical eye and then spend more time to express their views. So thanks. Philip - Thanks very much and I want to be sure I understand where you are coming from. Is the below the slight crop you were envisioning? To be clear, I was facing essentially north and the sun was rising from the left. So parts of the sky on the right were still blue relative to the burst of sun coming from the left. Also, the very low placement of the sun led to unevenness in the falling of the light on the ground/water. In this case the unevenness didn't strike me as an issue. But I want to make sure I take your point. Excellent photo Alan, really nicely done. Amazing tonality and very appealing framing. And I hate you for posting a Super-Angulon shot and making me want such a lens even more. JM, Eoin and Gary, you're also to blame here One from last August M4-P, 21SA, Rollei Retro 100, D-76 160811-29-2.jpg Thanks for looking Regards Alan I also like film My most-used camera.

Doc Henry Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share #24752 Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Jean Marc - Thanks for chiming in and I think you are right. It is sometimes not so easy working with a flat scanned file to know when you've reached that optimal balance between blacks and midtones. In this case, I am not sure I would go as far as you did, but deeper blacks are - I agree - most certainly in order. Here is a comparison of my original post and one with deeper blacks. Would love to get views on this time permitting! Original (again) Adam, for me in comparing the 3 pictures , this original is nicer because it keeps the original shot ! The fact to accentuate black does not give more efficiency to the picture IMO Nice color and reflection Best Henry Edited December 11, 2016 by Doc Henry 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted December 11, 2016 Share #24756 Posted December 11, 2016 Philip - Thanks very much for the additional feedback and I also share your annoyance at the generic feedback workflow of flickr, etc. I really like this photo on many levels. Great colors, shapes and simplicity. I wonder, though, if it could use a slight tilt to the left. It could be my hangover but it seems ever so slightly off kilter. Taken in Visby in June. Flickr 80 Planar Portra 400 (possibly at EI 100, wet mount) Henry - Thanks very much for your feed on the photos. I view the darkening as not so much a distortion of the natural way the scene looked but rather as the conformance of the flat scan that I got from my scanner to better replicate the level of contrast in the scene as I saw it. Jean Marc and others opened my eyes to flatness in the original version that I posted and Christoph was keen on the fact that the luminance of the foreground was disproportionate to the rest of the scene. So in my tweaks I have been trying to blend the foreground and background better. Usually people are trying to do this by opening shadows in the foreground to add more depth to the scene. With this photo, by contrast, I need to blend by darkening the foreground since I had used a 2 stop filter to compensate for the brighter mid and background. I may tinker with the dark tones just a little more and perhaps also the temps. But the feedback I've received today has been very helpful!

A miller Posted December 11, 2016 Share #24757 Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) In response to comments that I received on my "Anonymous" New Yorkers photo book that I shared a couple of weeks ago (particularly Christoph's critique), I have reworked the book in order to add text throughout the pages that try to provide a storyline that (to some degree) runs through each page. I also added only one photo per two page spread and mixed up the sizes and formatting of the photos. And yes, I added a little blurb about gear on the last page. Not suggesting this book is going any where fast; but on reflect I didn't recognize that the flow and impact of the read could be meaningfully improved with these changes. Can I trouble youz to have another look? http://www.blurb.com/b/7609050-anonymous-new-yorkers Welcome, dear visitor!
