gbealnz Posted October 10, 2016 Share #22321 Posted October 10, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Gary, I keep coming back to this photograph of yours and I’m trying to figure out why. One indifferent viewer would probably call it a tourist’ shot, then add “but a serious amateur’s.” If it is, it is a finest example of a shot by a tourist coming back home and bringing some exquisite photographs. The photograph appears to benefit from a subtle balance; there is an “X” of lines crossing the field, one line made of the water, the other of the land; the two blue hues of the water work together nicely, sort of implying a “movement” from the deep ocean to a serene gulf; then comes the glorious sandy coast, almost pure white, an impossible to ignore invitation to bathe. Maybe it’s all that, maybe it’s because it is reminiscent of my birthplace; but if HCB’s criterion of a good photograph—the time spent looking at it—is of some value, then this photograph is really good! Paul Thank you for the kind words Paul. The honest side of me says it is merely an aerial shot, a view in which I partake on a regular daily basis. This would have been taken while a student was flying, it would have been summer, so the "air conditioning" would have been on, ie: the doors off, making for easy photography from a nice height. The fact it was where I spent a fair chunk of my youth is relevant, but it is one of many shots taken along this stretch of coast, and most have similar stories. Appreciate your compliments though, very much. Gary 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share #22325 Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Here's a cactus with sabris fruit cluster of a different variety.... Like a palm of a hand that one would not want to kiss Velvia 50 (pushed 1/2 stop b/c to salvage inadvertent underexposure) SWC cactus field.jpg Wow this light green is beautiful Adam.So Adam you admit that your cactus is like human About your two pictures in comparison posted above, I recognize Velvia by the blue sky. Ektar is a bit clearer. Regards Henry Edited October 10, 2016 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share #22326 Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) first one. Sony a7ii with 90mm Elmar f4 bw Elmar 581 med.jpg second one. Sony a7ii with 90mm Elmar f4 Elmar 579 new med.jpg third one. Sony a7ii with 90mm Elmar f4. added yellow. subtracted magenta. Elmar 579 new a med.jpg These were taken in winter (March 2016). fourth one. Leica IIIf with Portra 400 scanned. I'm not sure which lens, but I think it's 50mm Summicron collapsible. Roll 2324 S22 med.jpg This was in summer (August 2016). Although it's the same model and same location, the season has something to do with the look of the image, as in summer there was more bounce light from a white wall, a brown fence, and a green tree. Thanks Fin for posting your pictures in comparison. The first thing I notice is the color of skin more natural in Portra 400. A bit magenta or red in A7 As you know , skin of the face has pores anatomically speaking , in A7 pixels they are "smoothed" by camera software and they are absent > visible when enlarged (crop 100%) ! The iris of eyes not the same color too , green in Portra , darker and color not defined in A7 ?

A miller Posted October 10, 2016 Share #22332 Posted October 10, 2016 Goodness gracious Adam, you did have fun with the SWC.

EoinC Posted October 10, 2016 Share #22334 Posted October 10, 2016 Gosh, your daughter is really going to enjoy that old Kowa mate. Gary I think you're right, Gary. It looked like possession was 9/10 of the law, as soon as she picked it up. Somewhere I have the first film she shot with it, so I'd better find it and digitise it for her - I don't want her to think that she scavenged something useless off me... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
