stuny Posted August 23, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 23, 2006 John - Nice how you've gotten it to stand out from the dark framing of the foreground buildings, and the interessting sky -- just enough contrast to pull it off without losing shadow or highlight detail.

Guest rubidium Posted August 25, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 25, 2006 Well done! The lack of autos makes this a rather timeless image. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikej Posted August 25, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 25, 2006 Hi, John - this is quite nice and straight. Did you have to do much to the picture? Cheers, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmr Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted August 25, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks for the feedback guys, it's much appreciated. Mike, much as I'm growing to respect the abilities of the C-Lux, especially when shooting B&W, I'd have to admit it's not much of a shift camera. I made sure I'd got everything I wanted in the frame, with a little margin for error around the subject, and used Photoshop to sort out the inevitably receding verticals one gets when shooting close-up from street level.

dotandcom Posted August 27, 2006 Share #9 Posted August 27, 2006 John, I like this a lot. I agree about the timeless quality. Most of all, I admire the way that you have corrected the verticals. It's something I have trouble with. Indeed, I often feel that an image with 'straightened' verticals is more unsettling than the uncorrected version. This must be a good example of the benefits of not overdoing it. All the best, Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
