philipus Posted January 25, 2016 Share #10143 Posted January 25, 2016 Hi Henry, it's a photo of the side of one of those fast ferries. I was actually in a car when I saw the image, so I pulled up, opened the window and took the picture. Philip I like the first much For the second picture taken from the boat ?

Michael Hiles Posted January 25, 2016 Share #10144 Posted January 25, 2016 That said, when I photograph I try to use the constraints imposed by a particular film/camera format to find the most appealing composition. I find that this is a good way to improve how I see images when I look around. But, if I discover in post that a composition didn't work, then I won't stand on principles and leave the photo as is but rather crop to improve it. I use the constraints of the 24x36 format and compose my pictures accordingly. I like working within constraints and I like the 2:3 ratio - I think it works best for my sense of visual balance. 2:3 is close to the golden ration of about 1:1.6, which is naturally pleasing. I will crop slightly if something appears in the frame that is unintended and disturbing. I am not doctrinaire against cropping, but I think that if I didn't get it right when I was seeing the picture before raising the camera to my eye, I likely won't improve it with scissors. But to each, his own. Here`s to best possible pictures. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 25, 2016 Share #10151 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Hütten by -Ric Capucho- What we need now is yet more foggy trees shot on XP2. What can I say? Been foggy around here lately. When yer got lemons, make lemonade. Oh, and another square crop because the boathouse to the right didn't quite work its way into the composition as I'd imagined.

Michael Geschlecht Posted January 25, 2016 Share #10152 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Hello Steve, Nice series of photos of New York. Even without your mentioning it, it is easy to see that these photos were taken with a 90mm lens: These are more or less text book examples of what a 90mm lens is known for; Taking away distracting foreground. Removing unwanted sides & top. Allowing for a more or less normal perspective. While concentrating on the subject of interest within a scene.

chrism Posted January 25, 2016 Share #10159 Posted January 25, 2016 Henry, I used two continuous fluorescent lights, each with three CFT bulbs. If you ever get a chance to look at EgoÏste you should—there have been 17 issues since 1977, the last in January 2015 (currently selling for 129 Euros on amazon.fr!). As you can see, it is huge, printed on thick exhibition type paper and full of wonderful photographs. I only have two issues, this one and one full of Avedon portraits. Read more here - caution, nude photos so perhaps not at work! Adam, I like it very well. I have their 4x5 too. A bit nicer and slightly more expensive than the Shen Hao. Paper negatives with 10x8 paper are such fun! I take a couple, tray develop them under a safelight, go and take a couple more with exposure adjusted and so on. I call this slow-motion chimping! This is the sixth shot, but it occupied my morning and allowed me to treat myself to a beer when finished. Chris 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris very interesting. you probably could sell your photo to Leica as I'm sure it can printed quite massively and it is full of nostalgia, which could come in handy for Leica. For example, in last month issue of LFI magazine there was a 3 or 4 page article on the Leica IIIg camera, going back to the history of the camera (it post-dated the M3 and represented the pinnacle of all of the Barnacks) and going into all of its features. No doubt that someday a similar article will be written on the legendary M2... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
