Rolo Posted April 28, 2007 Share #1 Posted April 28, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) This location was made famous by Frederick H. Evans and was is featured in one of those silver backed Time-Life books on photography I used to pore over. It became an ambition to have a print of this on my wall and I could never afford an Evans' original and indeed there are very few of them. Therefore, only one solution ..... 'a Rolo original' now hangs on the wall of my lounge and I look at it every day. I present this version as an homage to the great photographer. Thanks for looking.

jmr Posted April 28, 2007 Share #3 Posted April 28, 2007 Rolo, wonderful shot! Evans is one of my favourite photographers and the book of cathedrals containing the original of this shot is spellbinding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotandcom Posted April 29, 2007 Share #5 Posted April 29, 2007 Rolo, I always think that if you're going to hang anything on a wall it should be (a) the best, or ( your own work, or © temporary! I think you've managed to combine (a) and (. I have a lovely photogravure version of this scene by the American photographer Bruce Burnbaum. It is one of the classic 'stage-sets' for photographers, and you've captured it beautifully. Incidentally, why have you put it in Landscape and Travel? Shouldn't it be in Architecture? All the best, Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted April 29, 2007 Thanks to you all, this is an important image to me. Chris, the reason I put this, and others, in the Landscape and Travel section is because I took it on my 'travels' and don't set out to shoot architecture, per se. Architectural photography, to me, is more than just photos of buildings. I see it as a specialist subject, but could easily be wrong on this.

stunsworth Posted April 29, 2007 Share #8 Posted April 29, 2007 Hi Rolo, yet another very nice shot. The sweep of the stairs in very effective. Did you try cropping the right hand side a little to remove that lower column? To these eyes the flow of the stairs seems better by not being interrupted. To your eyes it probably ruins the shot <grin> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted April 29, 2007 Share #10 Posted April 29, 2007 Rolo - You seem able to do whatever you set out to do. Superb for its composition, tonal range and gradation, contrast, detail, DOF and toning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
