square_one Posted October 7, 2006 Share #5 Posted October 7, 2006 Michael - Wonderful juxtaposition of people, swooping lines and movement, but to make this a real grabber consider cropping-out the distracting buggy on the right, then dropping the ceiling to rebalance to 24x36. I know HCBers have fits over such trickery but when cropping can make a good picture gooder, why not? Just a thought! Bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael-IIIf Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted October 10, 2006 Bruce, Yes it would be much better picture without the distractions on the right, and it would likewise be better without the bloke on the left. However I'm not inclined to crop it, not from any adherence to HCB dogma, but because I love the madness of this 15 mm lens and cropping its output feels a little like neutering it This is a mad and fun lens to use. I took this shot, from the hip, standing within touching distance beside this couple. Often with this lens you don't know what you've got until you develop the roll. It will be even more fun on the M8 - although I appreciate it would be 22 mm instead of 15 mm - when the 'film' is free. Anyone like to loan me their M8? Thanks everyone for your comments.

square_one Posted October 10, 2006 Share #7 Posted October 10, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Michael - Thanks for expanding your 'experience' of this shot, the super-ultra wideangle sensation, this 'look'. My head - too automatically I admit - is prejudiced toward 35 and 50 perspective and natural light, so I just jumped into this scene on my own terms, cropping out that nasty buggy nose on the right rim and, while I was at it, dropping a good portion of your wonderful, hard-earned, 15mm-generated, soaring ceiling ... perhaps the key focal-point. If I knew then what I know now, would I have left this pic as is?? YES! The only reason I commented in the first place was I was smitten ... but didn't like the buggy, only the buggy. I agree the little critter is but a tiny price to pay for the dramatic upper third of your 15mm negative. That left-hand guy? He's crucial, I'd never kick him off the train, he strengthens the togetherness of the two talkers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted October 10, 2006 Share #8 Posted October 10, 2006 Well, I can't see a buggy anywhere, but this is still a very dramatic shot Good work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
