stunsworth Posted August 14, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 14, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I nearly posted this converted to b&w, but in the end decided to keep it in colour. The background cuts the frame in half a little, and I'm not sure that it really works. This statue is on the shoreline at Portmerrion, with the estuary behind. Probably shot at f2.8, or f4. Canon 5D, 50mm Summicron. [ATTACH]5306[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cboudier Posted August 14, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2006 Steve, The only coloured part is not in the important part of the photo, that may be the cause of the unbalance felling. Monochrome (B&W or sepia, or blue) may be a solution... Do you have more photos of Portmerrion ? Since I saw "The Prisonner" when I was a kind, my only dream is to visit this place !

stunsworth Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted August 14, 2006 I did Pete, and to top it all the car broke down in Caernarfon. Had to call out the AA for the first time - turned out that the battery was shot. Had to drive home hoping I wouldn't stall the car. Finally stalled it reverse parking outside the house! As for the prisoner thing, the answer was that we are all our own jailers wasn't it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted August 14, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 14, 2006 I like taking photos of statues. They are always such willing subjects too! BCNU Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted August 15, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the correction Christophe, I've always struggled with Welsh place names. I'll try and dig out some more photos over the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
