lambroving Posted November 16, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 16, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Not great art, just a grab shot of some cute English kids, waiting to open the top lock gate at Foxton last July. This is the last of ten locks which bring the narrowboat up or down ~ 75 feet. At best it takes 45 minutes to negotiate. Hope some of you may enjoy. Just barely caught these expressions.

Guest lykoudos Posted November 16, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 16, 2006 Hello William, Oh oh, there becomes it closely. But with the lady of the house at the rudder, there nothing can go inclined. The excitement is located to the children in the face written. To the calming times the thumbs in the mouth and at the nails chewed. Beautiful photographs.

lambroving Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted November 17, 2006 William, those are great! I'd love to have been there. Did you hear i bought a teeny 28mm lens? it is even smaller than yours!!!!! Well..., we'll probably get Ron's pictures from Foxton after the first snows in Goettingen. No. Does that mean you will stop asking for mine now?! I'd like to have your little lens on my MP .58 sometimes, especially outdoors, but I think the fingerprint is rather different at f2.8. I'll post some interior shots I took at Broughton with the 28/2 if I can ever get Ron to do some light corrections in PS CS. The textures are wonderful...

rob_x2004 Posted November 17, 2006 Share #9 Posted November 17, 2006 Kind of like this lenses perspective, so much more natural than the 24, and a little more intimate than the feel of the 35. How much mileage do you get out of it compared with 35? Nice shot, shame the kid on the left could not have made that corner of the frame more dominant, not necessarily by her size, just presence, even if it meant she had to look at you. Half step by you to the right I guess? Anyway, nice shot. 28 would be a hard one to leave out of the kit huh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share #10 Posted November 17, 2006 Rob, I think you have it right about the perspectives. I don't shoot people normally, BTW. Was on a bridge, and six inches more to the right and I'd have been in the drink! Was just glad I grabbed this before they woke up.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted November 17, 2006 Share #11 Posted November 17, 2006 Heyyy faster film! I can just imagine their reactions to .... "Photographer in Motion." :D Rather wet and expensive topple though you are right. So you were up in that white bridge on the second image. I can see the ice cream eater, obscured but still in frame. Am pretty well committed to picking up a 35, though 28 is probably my favourite length, and 24 one of my all time horrors. You know what the wait is now over here with all the unsold stock getting a vacation to Solms for animal stripes. Effing digital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinop Posted November 17, 2006 Share #12 Posted November 17, 2006 Enjoyable and colorful series. personal favorite is #1. Like the expressions of the children. Wonder if dad was the only one who had a treat? Not sure if he is holding a cell phone or some goody to munch on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambroving Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share #16 Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks for the comments. Glad you enjoyed. Paul, In the second picture there is a white house with an ice cream shop. I'm sure the kids had already inhaled theirs! You would not have believed how animated these kids became when, seconds later, it was time to open the gate! The girl in the middle shrieked "EXCUSE ME" and started pushing vigorously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted November 19, 2006 Share #17 Posted November 19, 2006 Just out of interests sake...the exposure on the second image left to the cameras own devices...Is there anything in the digital file that would let you save the sky and highlights? This is one of the reasons why in the end I decided to forgo the M7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share #18 Posted November 19, 2006 Rob, It was a grey, grey day for the most part, which was a nice change from the hot, hot, HOT we had earlier in the week. I'm not sure I went with the auto recommendation on that shot. As you can see from the whitewashed house, nothing is really blown. There is probably a bit more sky detail in the file, but I'm not unhappy with this rendition. From experience, I rarely do any better with the MP. The M7 does not FORCE you to do anything but it comes in handy when you haven't the time to fiddle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
