Advertisement Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Hi robert_parker, Take a look here Sydney Grumpy and Vertical. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jmr Posted August 14, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2006 Robert, I prefer this crop to the other one. You've done well to get some detail in the highlights here. A tricky exposure to nail, I bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted August 14, 2006 John Thanks for your kind comments - I spot metered the white breast and applied a very small correction in CS1 - really it was a case of nailing the exposure, before he nailed me !!

robert_parker Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted August 16, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Brent, David and Uwe Thank you for your kind comments Brent - high praise indeed, from a man who know how to get the texture in a white subject !! David - If I'd been using the 560mm Telyt, he'd have been sitting on the end !! Uwe - I'm hoping he's not inside Sydney at the moment !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_peter_m Posted August 19, 2006 Share #8 Posted August 19, 2006 I like this version much better. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted August 19, 2006 Thanks Peter I originally wanted the first image to highlight his 'expression' but as time has gone on I've gotten to prefer this version myself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_peter_m Posted August 20, 2006 Share #10 Posted August 20, 2006 You are welcome, You got the expression and for me it comes trough much better in this one with the gull standing on the water fountain. In the other version it isn't quit as clear where he is. Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
