Doc Henry Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share #7643 Posted November 6, 2015 very cool, Henry. The wonderful tonality running across the building on the left make the shot for me. Thank you Adam a comment from your "expert" eyes is much appreciated Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share #7644 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) That one is very special Henry. Thank you Mark for your opinion I remember, I held very firmly my M7 lest he falls from 50 meters for this picture Best Henry Edited November 6, 2015 by Doc Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share #7645 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Sincere thanks especially to Brenton, James, Henry, Philip and Charles. I know everyone's time is short and I really appreciate the effort to make constructive remarks about my photos. It is really helpful. I have landed on the second myself but don't really think that even it is as good as one can do here. My reasoning. The first has an array of foreground elements, BUT they are random ineffective. I do love the row of larger rocks with ascending sizes (running from left to right), but this composition is clouded by the random, messy waste-site-looking rags and miscellaneous rocks. To me, this is a real lesson in having not just foreground, but foreground that makes sense. I have taken the liberty of cropping the image to remove some of the immediate foreground and bring the row of larger rocks more in focus. It is easy enough to go back to this site and retake the photo with the lessons learned, which I will do (maybe even today!). I like the second, as it has the added touch of the illumination of the buildings, as it was taken at the magic hour. But I don' think it is a total winner either. But I might make an analog print just to see how it comes out. What I a feel like I am missing in order to make these images really sing are clouds (possibly even clouds in motion with a long exposure, ideally in motion coming towards me). They would add more elements of interest and help frame the image. So I think I know how to make a really nice B&W photograph at this particular site and will wait for that right opportunity and try my luck. The right film? I'm thinking TMax 400 as it reacts fairly well to reciprocity failure, unlike Tri-X. But I am open to suggestions in this regard. Many thanks again and until next time! Adam Adam It's very nice this one well "balanced" and well framed Nice nuance of grey tone Regards Henry Edited November 6, 2015 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Henry Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share #7646 Posted November 6, 2015 what a hustle and bustle ..... beautiful colors in a quiet light however, i had the bottom two yellow balloons below and omitted the still ascending lying blue balloon - Henry, i beg you to accept my point of view, the picture is for me as a whole then "round" thanks Thank you Ingrid to let your nice comment Best Henry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share #7648 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Going back a page to Henry's twin buildings, the striking geometric repetition combined with the contrast between them was really striking. At first I thought I was looking at something abstract, maybe a sculpture, before I realized I was looking up at two buildings. What a delightful effect! Thank you Brenton for your comment As I said above in my reply to James these 2 buildings are not far from Henri Cartier Bresson's home. It's also the result of the formidable optical and mechanical rangefinder of M camera ! Precise framing and a delight for the focus Best Henry Edited November 6, 2015 by Doc Henry 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted November 6, 2015 Share #7651 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks Adam. This is actually a slight crop and I left the figure to the left because cropping it out entirely would have cut Albright a bit and I thought it created an interesting dynamic in the picture. Unfortunately I was stuck to the right in front of the stage because the front rows of the middle section were reserved. I find Diafine can give very nice tonal range but it depends a lot on the exposure. I haven't edited this photo so this is pretty much straight from the scanner; the larger version shows some defects in terms of tonality. But it is indeed a convenient developer that I am exploring a lot these days. wow, amazing tonal range and wonderfully white whites. If only the portion the body wasn't stuck in the left of the frame, it would be a perfect capture. Thank you Henry. Yes, she did serve in the White House under Carter assisting the national security advisor, I believe. But I guess she's most well-known for being the first woman to be appointed Secretary of State under Clinton. Her biography Madam Secretary is highly recommended.

rpavich Posted November 6, 2015 Share #7652 Posted November 6, 2015 Well...one more time I forgot which film I had in my camera (thought it was Ultra Max 400 but turned out to be Tri-X) and took a bunch of images that were based on colors and things but definitely didn't work in B&W. This was the ONE shot that didn't fall apart completely though you should have seen it in color...beautiful bright blue sky, bright orange building with long deep shadows...it was really nice looking in color....lol. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleinkamera Posted November 6, 2015 Share #7653 Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks James for your nice comment I took this photo in Paris by going to the house (not far from here) of Henri Cartier Bresson ! Remember , remember Best Henry You are welcome! I was in Paris just about 2 years ago (my first and only visit there) and on my last day in the city I managed to go to the HCB house/museum. I was glad to go there, although I was surprised at how little of his (HCB) work was actually on display! The work of another photographer (now I can't remember who) was occupying the main exhibit rooms. James 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Benqui Posted November 6, 2015 Share #7657 Posted November 6, 2015 love the white shirt, Marc. Brilliant idea for the contrast and nicely executed. The v-neck is also pleasing to view. Thank you very much Adam. I also liked the contrast between her body language with the arms crossed in front of her chest and the softness of her face. Superb really Marc Kodak TMax is also a great film Best Henry Thanks a lot Henry. I agree totally, if you use the Tmax one time you will love it forever! This film is so easy to handle and excuses almost all of my faults. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Benqui Posted November 6, 2015 Share #7658 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Sunrise Manhattan (looking at the Manhattan Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge) I was at this spot the day before and visualized this shot but couldn't take it b/c I needed to run to a meeting. So I snapped a shot on my Blackberry in order to remember the spot. The next day I returned for the sunrise - bread crumbs in hand - and lured this lovely bird onto this pier for the shot with about a quarter of a loaf of bread Kodak EKTAR This is one of my favorite photos from your NY series. Everyhing fits perfect, beginning with the light, the bird and the view to the bridges. Edited November 6, 2015 by Benqui 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
