jim_royer Posted July 27, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 27, 2006 Alexander, I too, appreciate your photos shown here. Photo one and three show a lot of human emotion, to me. Very well done. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddh Posted July 27, 2006 Share #5 Posted July 27, 2006 Alexander, quite interesting. Three slices of muscovite life that stand on their own merit. I like all three; but your choice of a square cropping for the third one makes it stand out for me. Very well done. Post more please. Regards.

etienne_werner Posted July 27, 2006 Share #6 Posted July 27, 2006 I like your pictures Alexander and at the same time I'm impressed with the quality you get from your Jupiter-12 lens. Kind regards, Etienne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted July 28, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Many thanks for your comments! In addition I'll try to correct my omission, i.e. to maky some comments on these photos. All three of them were taken on Friday ~5p.m. at the beginning of this summer in the very center of our capital. The first one - near the Polytechnical Museum. I don't know what happened with that vagrant, but he was crying and policemen were trying to assuage him. The passers-by also displayed their concern. This was very abnormally for our present time. The second picture shows very strange person. It looks like vagrant, but was reading something in foreign language. You can see a magazine with words "NATO - get out!" I caught him at the doorsteps of the Lenin's Library. The last one I called "Giving hand" (sorry for my English!). I faced it by accident walking along the street and had no time to frame it precisely. My camera was at waist level, shutter cocked, distance and diaphragm presetted. I had no moment to hesitate and I pressed the shutter. I also don't appreciate it's square format, but I had to cut garbage and it wasn't possible keeping aspect ratio. The Jupiter-12 makes me very happy. I couldn't expect such a result from $20 lens. Its picture is very sharp and three-dimensional at the same time, it is very gratefully for 35mm lens. I like it. And for that price I needn't worry about it, so I always hold it in readiness in spite of weather condition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Judd Posted July 28, 2006 Share #8 Posted July 28, 2006 Your last image of the woman and child is really what journalistic photography is all about. It tells a story is a way that would take many, many, words to convey. But the most compelling aspect of this photo is how it touches ones heart. It really says so very much. Very loving. Congradulations on a really superb image. Don Judd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
