I just posted these two in the "Bella Italia" thread, but maybe this is the proper thread to post them.

Both images shot by Nov/1998 with M6 35/1.4 © Horacio Rosell.

don't know why,

but these "old fashiond" bw photos are more than these modern hyper-perfect digital shots.

 

I like them very much,

so much silence, so much more real photos.

 

Thank you very much for presenting them here.

 

good luck

I prefer #2 for its interesting crossover lighting. The first one is too flat for my liking.

Thanks veyr much Martin. I really apreciate that you can get the spirit of these images.

I obviously agree with you, as I can't help it but most of my shots are sort of "classical", possibly because of the age issue. I usually become involved with situations that turn, sometimes, into scenarios which I try to describe.

As a matter of facts, when I was a kid I happened to stroll with my blind father endeavoring to convey what I saw in the surroundings, which in time became a "special" education.

And for this reason, and although it could be paired to fishing, i.e. a matter of patience, I just let the atmosphere to take in (or however you explain that...), and in total, mood and detail –and in few cases the lack of the latter– are paramount for me. You could ascertain that by looking to larger prints of the above which in my views are much better than what you can see in the screen.

 

Regards,

 

Horacio

Like the unusual perspective in the first shot.
