stuny Posted September 4, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 4, 2006 Ravi - The appeal here is the little girl's stillness amid all the chaos. Most appealing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglouis Posted September 5, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 5, 2006 Ravi Very nice shot. It is great the way you have isolated the little girl, provide a great focal point. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandokan Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share #7 Posted September 5, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thanks Lois, Jaak and Douglas. I only took 2 shots and it worked. As for my nephew - he is always moving and usually offers the counterpoint to the calmness of his older sister. I have a few shots of my other niece crawling - but she was so quick I couldnt keep her in focus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted September 5, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 5, 2006 oh - this is cool ravi - like a painting -love it very much - especially because of the angle tat creates very unusual composition to this kind of photos. so better scanning is needed though to give this photo its full potential, but know it is internent - maybe on your monitor it looks better. on mine it is too light and not deep enough in tonality.

Guest Metroman Posted September 5, 2006 Share #9 Posted September 5, 2006 I like the girl - the eye of the hurricane - but what really caught my eye is the glass in front of her. It has a three dimensional quality and appears to be levitating out of the image. Nice capture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandokan Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share #10 Posted September 5, 2006 @Vic: It was a commercial scan and film was Fuji colour negative, which I do not like but I still have 10 rolls The original was very orange due to the tungsten lights but when colour corrected, it became green. I took the simple path and converted to monochrome - so yes I agree with you, there is room for improvement on the Mac with this. The conversion left the highlights on the girl's face which I also do not like. I will try PS on this instead of Lightroom - once I have learnt how to use it. Next I will try Kodak colour film and am also trying Ilford HP5 and FP4. When all else fails, I shall use slide film and buy my own scanner and develop B&W too. @Andy - I had not noticed the glass, but yes it does have a glow. The others liked the cups & saucers but they are young trendy folk and I like my tea in a bone china mug (preferably large). . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmsr Posted September 5, 2006 Share #11 Posted September 5, 2006 Ravi, Great selective DOF and capturing her still and attentive among all the other motion. Best, Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vic Posted September 5, 2006 Share #12 Posted September 5, 2006 ravi - of course for b/w use b/w film. hp5 and fp44 are great. those are my standard films. about colro negatives.. well it is tricky, especially in the non-daylight conditions. u better use the slide. provia 400 and kodak e200 are great for it. both can be pushed to 800iso. of course u will have the red of tungsten, but far more managble and even with red much more beautiful and accaptable. other options are either tingsten balanced film or slide, or using filter to balance (personally i dont use filters thoough, but u can have schneider / b+w filters multi coated and use them with no worries even with leica lenses).

gverdon Posted September 5, 2006 Share #13 Posted September 5, 2006 Vrey interesting picture. I can look at it for a long time... I especially like the paper from the down right corner leading my eye to the girl's face. Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
