Adam...pretty sure you have this shot....the one I said I liked a few weeks ago.  You shot the stature from the east side; from the feet, looking up.

 

 

Adam,

nice angle !

 

Could you rent a MF panoramic camera and try a similar shot with the lower part of the statue / street scene included?!

Or try a 15mm on the M3 ?

 

My 2 cents, JM.

I need to revisit this location with my MF gear and some clouds.   I think you are allowed a few more visits before declaring insanity ;)

 

 

I hit this guy once again last week...for the third time...

Is the third time a charm, or positive evidence that I have finally gone insane ???   :)

Thanks a lot, Marc, for remembering.  Yes, that shot was nice but it lacked detail in the clouds/sky and for that reason it isn't a keeper.

I tried to get that same POV last week but to do so I needed to actually (and stupidly) use up some of Park Avenue.  The shot from a while ago was taken on a very quiet Sunday.  Last week was rush hour and I am too young for a hip replacement procedure - or worse.... :)

Adam....The sky is not pure white, there's some/enough tonal variability from the clouds.   Perhaps not the most feature full sky, but not blank. Again, there's plenty to keep you interested where the sky is immaterial and a non factor to the capture.  I think it's the best perspective for this piece; second is the one from the back looking SW.  JMO.

I will have to go back with my SWC/M on a early Sunday morning; what did you use to make your initial capture if I may ask?

I used my old Linhof 6x9 with a 53mm Zeiss Biogon and Ilford PanF

Very interesting, Marc. Thanks for the opinion.  It is good to get so many opinions.  I can't get enough opinions, positive or critical...

The only critical comment would be the fact we are loosing a fine photo due to this feature full sky thing ;)

Here is another perspective (although the first I posted seems to hold together better...)

A way long exposure with the 6 stop ND filter, with Tri-x's horrible reciprocity failure (about a 2 min exposure)

Tri-X (6x6)

This is the one I like the best (so far), Adam. I can live without feet for that perspective.
