charlesphoto99 Posted June 19, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 19, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here's a selection from a 10 page essay I'm doing for Seattle Magazine on the 100th Anniversary of the Pike Place Market. Not sure exactly what the art directors picks are yet (I guess there's gonna be about 25 of them) but I guess some will need to be converted to b&w. Her choices may be some or none of these. Very happy the way the camera worked on this job, my frst "real" one with it. Handled the difficult light really well, and seemed to put people at ease. I used a 24mm, 35mm asph, 50mm pre-asph Lux, and a 90mm. I would say the bulk of these is with the 24 and 35 though. All with 486 UV filters. The color balance is off on a few of the images - these were real quick conversions. http://www.charlespeterson.net/Pike_Place_Market.index/content/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted June 19, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 19, 2007 Charles, I agree - the M8 handled the complex light superbly! Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesphoto99 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted June 19, 2007 Thanks Pete. On the shoot when "chimping" I was always a bit worried, esp by the differences between light and dark areas. But when getting them back and opening the RAWs I'm always blown away. I now take the jpeg previews with a grain of salt and only worry if I'm way off.

charlesphoto99 Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted June 19, 2007 That stuff looks great. But...where is the shot of the guy throwing fish? Hah! The whole idea was to show a bit less touristy side of the market. I do have shots of the fish throwers though - pretty hard to avoid. But it's a total mob scene - was more fun shooting the people shooting the fish throwers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sirvine Posted June 20, 2007 Share #7 Posted June 20, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) It's amazing to think that my grandfather used to slaughter rabbits in the morning in Renton, then hitchhike into the city (including taking a barge across Lake Washington) and sell his rabbits at a stall in the same market. This was in the late 1920's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Roberts Posted August 5, 2007 Share #9 Posted August 5, 2007 Charles--really nice work! I'd say *you* handled the difficult light really well and the camera bent to your wishes Yeah, I was wondering about the fish-throwing guys too And the fact that you took pics on the single sunny day ever... right? (at least, whenever I'm there, it's pouring!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_tribble Posted August 6, 2007 Share #10 Posted August 6, 2007 Thanks Pete. On the shoot when "chimping" I was always a bit worried, esp by the differences between light and dark areas. But when getting them back and opening the RAWs I'm always blown away. I now take the jpeg previews with a grain of salt and only worry if I'm way off. Charles - great work. The only think I look at when I chimp is the histogram - never bother about JPEGs. Try turning them off and you'll fine you may a) get more reliable pre-views + you'll get much shorter process / write times to the SD card. It's a thought...

jaapv Posted August 6, 2007 Share #11 Posted August 6, 2007 It is nice to have a black-and-white jpegto review when you intend the shot for black and white in the end, Chris. I have that under user 3. But that is the only use I see for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
photolandscape Posted August 6, 2007 Share #12 Posted August 6, 2007 Charles, was just at the market this past Saturday so I really enjoyed your photos. The place certainly is photogenic, but the different types of lighting can make it a real challenge--daylight, tungsten, fluorescent, neon, halogen. Something for everyone. Thanks for sharing the photos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing the photos. Hey thanks a lot. I wasn't totally wowed by the magazine's layout, but that's usually pretty par for the course. And they chose a few images to convert to b&w that ended up looking really good (thank you Alien Skin) but the one image that had the most difficult mixed lighting they chose to leave color, a mistake if you ask me as long as they were doing a mix of b&w and color images. Best, Charles Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
