Shooting like this without a time exposure is the epitome of the Noctilux in the hands of a "Knight of the Night" shooters! ;-) alt 1: doesn't quite make it as it appears too confusing without a definitive point. It's like there are a couple of photo possibilities all humped together. The stone pieces on the railing are one some how but require some other execution of angle. Then there's the human element in conversation without any connection. Maybe needs a bit more time and a different bit of action. Alt 2 at... http://www.steveunsworth.co.uk/PAW/week_13%20alt2.htm This really is the view from my living room window<<<<< This is a prime example of shooting from the shadow side! The light and shadows are completely in tune for excellent separation, form and detail. Not to mention depth. Not to forget the camera is held perfectly!!! Thank you! :-) Quite frankly this is an excellent teaching photograph for those who wonder what the heck I'm talking about when I say, "Shoot from the Shadowside!" Well done. Alt 3 at... http://www.steveunsworth.co.uk/PAW/week_13alt3.htm Interesting but seems a little too tight to the left side like cutting right into the bike. Maybe a slightly lower angle, kneeling of the ground might strengthen the bike as again a subject response, the bike isn't holding the prominence it might do from a lower angle. Or maybe going horizontal and making a stronger use of the fence. But you were there and none of what I've said matters due to confinements of the position. Good ones and it sure is nice to see some shots where the verticals and horizontals are correct because the photographer paid attention to some lines in the viewfinder. thanks, ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
