dgc Posted February 22, 2016 Share #11705 Posted February 22, 2016 Hello Keith, That is a really nice photo #11641. It is a shame it is so big that a person can't see the entire photo all at 1 time. Is there any way to make the photo a little smaller so a person can see the entire photo at once instead of having to scroll up & down to see it in pieces? Best Regards, Michael I have often thought the same, having only a laptop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipus Posted February 22, 2016 Share #11708 Posted February 22, 2016 Thank you very much everyone for taking the time to comment so thoroughly. It's really an apples and oranges comparison, but that's photography - all a matter of taste. I appreciate very much all your feedback. And apologies for the radio silence; I've been travelling this weekend. To me it is number one. I like the Colors and the Special mood more as in numer 2. I also prefer the perspective with the blurred background in number 1. best regards Marc Second one for me.It's the way I would see it normally, all in focus from front to rear.Gary First one, softer and smoother to the eye. Also the more curved line of the buoys is more interesting, just like the symmetrical oof ships in the background. Great shot, with wonderful colours! interesting comparison that probably could serve as the basis for a psycho-analytical test of some kind Clearly a matter of personal taste But my choice would be the first. Reasons: 1. my eyes are drawn to the foreground in either case 2. the added depth in the second doesn't lead my eye very deep. Perhaps if the floating balls we more prominent in the distance my view would be different. But I don't think that the random floating devices (like the red thingy) add anything. So I don't think there is much depth to the photo that carries all the way from the foreground to the background. I see depth from the foreground to the mid-ground. But that is where is stops for me. 3. Bokeh is always lovely and the colors of your premium portra film stock make it particularly the case here. It outweighs the interest from the DOF that for me stops at the mid-ground. 4. I also like the clear translucence of the water in the foreground in the first. It is very crisp and refreshing and conveys a tropical feel Either photo would make a great stock photo and you should consider submitting them to Getty... I like them both, but prefer the 1st one. The 2nd one requires looking around (which is a nice voyage of discovery, but the first one "just is" - It is subtle all the way, including the sea / sky interface (something that used to be called a horizon). No 1 for me, the eye is well directed and enjoys the gentle bokeh. First one for me. But I am looking at this from an aesthetic point of view and an image I would want to hang on my wall. You are drawn to the float in focus and keep coming back to it after scanning around the photograph. I like the way the light falls on the float and the shadow effect on the water. The second one is a record of the day, the environment etc. I am unlikely to want to look at this as often as the first one. Ive looked and looked at these. Really like #2. But the foreground in the first edges it for me. Much prefer to see through the incoming water than wet sand. Took the words right off my keyboard! Even if the sand in the second image was covered as is the first shot, the limited DoF is what makes the image attractive and absorbing. As David (dgc) wrote, the second is a record shot. Count me in on this one. I also prefer the first picture 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 22, 2016 Share #11710 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) London - Ilford XP2 by -Ric Capucho- Ok, I have mixed feelings on this one. It's my usual XP2 but as an experiment I fired off a roll last December and then asked the film lab to cook it for an extra two stops. The results came out very grey, and therefore this picture is a bit of a salvage job. It looks just about acceptable, but only after I darkened it two stops using my Camera+ editing software. XP2 doesn't push nicely. Plenty of other films do. Live and learn. Ric Edited February 22, 2016 by Guest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith (M) Posted February 22, 2016 Share #11711 Posted February 22, 2016 Looks almost as though it suffered reticulation Ric! Brave idea and if one studies the image closely one can see that it had the makings of a very atmospheric shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Geschlecht Posted February 22, 2016 Share #11713 Posted February 22, 2016 Hello Keith, Even though it was a l-o-o-o-o-ong way back: Your photo in #11684 is even nicer looking than it was when it was a larger photo. What is the history of that building? It looks like it started life as something else. Best Regards, Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsgary Posted February 22, 2016 Share #11716 Posted February 22, 2016 is that your assistant in the first? Man, I need to get one of those! How much do you pay an hour??

Michael Geschlecht Posted February 22, 2016 Share #11717 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Hello Keith, These boots look perfectly fixable. You might try some "Ledervet" which is also sold as "Dubbin". It is a variety of smoked lanolin made in Holland.
