erl Posted November 5, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 5, 2006 Hi Christophe, I like this image. I suspect it woud make a much better hardcopy print than the screen reproduction. The highlights need a little lift, but I am sure that is only a feature of the web. Make a 12"x16" print and it will be superb. Cheers, Erl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

halmsen Posted November 5, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 5, 2006 Christoph, an really originally picture. The "Frauenkirche" from St. Peter in the background AND this lovely "smiley" as foreground. A wonderful combination. I fancy the idea. Greetings Alex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted November 5, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 5, 2006 Brilliantly executed throughout. I must try some Xtol next time I process some B&W - I like the smoothness you have here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
christoph_d Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted November 5, 2006 Erl, John, Alex, Andy, Thank you for your nice comments. Erl, I realise that the image can be tweaked a bit more. Personally I am always a bit disappointed with the sharpness of my scanned images. In "real life", they've got much more "bite". Alex, The image sort of jumped at me. From a differrent vantage point I noticed the light, falling on the "smiley", and moved in to choose lens and composition (Not much space to move on the "Wandelgang" up there on the "Alten Peter"). But it confirms my view that the quality of light determines the quality of the final image to a large degree. Andy, in my view the smoothness of the tones is, together with the slightly finer grain, the differentiating factor between Xtol and D76. In my view this works particularly well with the FP-4.

christoph_d Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share #14 Posted November 8, 2006 Bill, Robert, Thanks for your comments. By the way. One of the reasons for me to use Xtol is the fact that it is relatively less toxic than most other developers... Kind regards, C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
