I started posting here recently hoping to get some criticism. One never gets criticism on Flickr or Instagram. I know I am susceptible to falling in love with one aspect of a photo and thinking it is better than it really is because of that narrow focus. So, here’s to honest critiques, realty testing, and growth as photographers.

Daniel - did you get my post critiquing your image with the boat. I can't find it on this thread?

That is interesting. When I shoot wide open with the  Noctilux 75 1.25 it shows as 2.0 in LR

There are a number of post on this thread starting around #600 or so regarding incorrect aperture readings that may be helpful. I get incorrect aperture reading on my Noctilux 1.0 whenever I use an ND filter for example and other incidences are cited.

I found out that usually the EXIF adds vaguely the strength of the ND filter and  goes nuts in very low light , YMMV.

Hi John, yes I did, and I responded.  It was in the M10 - image thread.  Thank you again. It encouraged me to go back into LR and re-examine this work. (As to one point, the halo around the hill, pushing the texture slide was the culprit).  Daniel

A classic Noctilux photo.  Good use of the wide open aperture.  I'd maybe crop this to a vertical image rather than horizontal… drop some of the image on the right.

M10, Noct .95, wide open, circular polarizer, no edits...straight from camera.

I love the way the pebbles on the drive in the foreground are rendered by the lens.

Blustery day at the seaside.

M10 / Noctilux 0.95

 

This is a B&W version of a photo I had earlier posted on the M10 image thread. I am attempting techniques Dabbler described to me.

WOW! This has an almost surreal nature to it.

FIrst of all, excellent image. The background separation is incredible. Nice to see some newcomers bringing variety to the thread.

Secondly, is this the technique you're referring to:

Have you ever thought about shooting in black and white for a while? Or at least convert your color images to B and W in LR. This would help you to concentrate on form, structure, light and shadow. This experience gained can then be brought over to your color work. Hope this helps. John

Thought about employing this B&W technique. I have a lot to learn, and starting from the basics seems logical.

Thank you for the nice comments. This quote from Dabbler (and similar expressions from other members) got me thinking along these lines. But I found a photo on Dabbler’s Flickr page I particularly admired. Dabbler stepped me through his workflow and that is the technique I was referring to.

Stay healthy, Daniel

My pleasure.

Oh I see. If you could share, please do :)

You and everyone here and their families also take care,

All sorts of stuff happening there-from straight lines to reflections, to amorphous shapes, etc. Pretty cool though.
