Advertisement Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Hi seaninsurrey, Take a look here Forth Rail Bridge, Edinburgh. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Artichoke Posted July 4, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 4, 2007 the second, in which the bridge is in sharper focus and you used a vertical orientation both of which serve your subject better the first is more aptly titled Rocks Near the Forth Rail Bridge & I find the bridge a far more interesting subject (I could not help but think of the dangers of the third rail when I saw this title:) ) lovely BW, btw with a sweet sky Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Monkhouse Posted July 4, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 4, 2007 The second vert shot for me, I find the out of focus distracting but the reflection, especially the clouds and the position of the rock in the second are excellent. Thanks for taking me back to "Bonnie Scotland". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macos Posted July 4, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 4, 2007 I personally think that the horizontal format of the 1st picture suits the motive better, but I also believe that the focus point in the 2nd one is better because of the bridge and the vivid sky. Therefore a mixture betwenn both would be my preference. So, all in all, I agree to the posts before that the 2nd is my favorite. BR Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaninsurrey Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted July 13, 2007 Just scanned this neg, do you think it is any better? Thanks for the comments, really useful for a beginner! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted July 13, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 13, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm still leaning towards the second shot. The first one just doesn't work for me because of the focus issue, and in the last one, the rock is too prominent, IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macos Posted July 13, 2007 Share #9 Posted July 13, 2007 Hi Sean, just because you asked (I am not intending to pretend to be an expert, I am just a bloody amateur), I still think the panoramic format could be better. The last shot imho shows some potential, but I think the rock is too dominant. If I imagine the location from the various pictures, I guess that there is the little rock behind the bigger one. Just a guess, but perhaps the same position as in the vertical format could have resultet in something like that (just for demo purposes, a slightly higher position still could have beneficial because the rock is imho still too distracting). But, as I said, just a guess ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
