stuny Posted August 29, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 29, 2006 Jaak - You nailed the exposure, which must have been difficult. Nice focus, framing and 3-D effect, as with the Metro rider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham_mitchell Posted August 29, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 29, 2006 Nice composition and exposure. The shiny rainpipe to the left of the man is a little distracting. Could be worth toning it down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmr Posted August 29, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 29, 2006 Jaak, excellent shot, superb focus and exposure; a very powerful image. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
davephoto Posted August 30, 2006 Share #5 Posted August 30, 2006 jaak, i like this shot a lot more than the metro rider. the subject is really set off against a background. i'd say it's a little less chaotic. great exposure and really nice tones. thanks!

palmskov Posted August 30, 2006 Share #6 Posted August 30, 2006 Really really nice shot. I love the lightning and focus on him. Did you shot it in BW or converted afterwards? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackart Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted August 30, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Really really nice shot. I love the lightning and focus on him. Did you shot it in BW or converted afterwards? Nikolai, I always convert in after-processing. I use http://www.pphoto-plugins.com B/W conversion tool. Found it more film-like than desaturation or PS Grayscale image mode (whitch is least noisy conversion in blue sky). Converting B/W I ofter add contrast +5 to +10%, not more, to avoid over-burning in whiter areas. -Jaak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_drabek Posted August 31, 2006 Share #12 Posted August 31, 2006 Terrific editorial-type shot. Makes me feel like I'm seeing his view of the world. DD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackart Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share #13 Posted August 31, 2006 JakHow do you install this plugin ? I downloaded it and shifted the exec file in plug-ins CS2. Nothing… Johan, firs execute the program. This unzips contents to directory on your desktop. Then move all contents to plug-in directory. -Jaak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted August 31, 2006 Share #14 Posted August 31, 2006 Thank you Jak Your picture is so striking, so real and full of fiction, especially for me who knows the place where it was taken. @nikolaï : it's not a rainpipe, it's the face of the stone catching the sun. Cheers @plug-in matter : "Execute" implies it's not for Mac… I tried to unzip it but message is : "This file does not appear to be compressed or encoded, etc." When I click on the "Exec" terminal type window, nothing happens either. If I put in the plug-in folder of CS2, nothing either, it's not visible in the menu, line any other plug-in I put there… That's what I have : Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackart Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share #15 Posted August 31, 2006 Johan, OK, It was for WIN only! Location of the shoot -- was it in front of Printemps, Paris??? http://www.instantdurable.com/ID_Maquettes/Paris/printemps.gif -Jaak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAG Posted August 31, 2006 Share #16 Posted August 31, 2006 AAARGH WINDOWS… Yes Printemps, I think, angle of bd Haussman with rue de Caumartin, or maybe rue Charras (the other angle), isn't it ? I should add the strength of this picture is, to me, in the absence of his eyes. Usually, the eyes, the look, are a strong point. Here, in the shadow of the cap, with his sculptural face, it conveys both harshness and a form of coolness… He could be in the bush, watching for a antilop to come up… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
