Tony Rowlett Posted March 9, 2000 Share Posted March 9, 2000 <center><img src="http://www.alaska.net/~rowlett/images/leaning.jpg width=489 height=709><br>"Little Girl Leaning"<br>Anchorage, Alaska<br></center>I've been reprinting old negatives while attempting different things with contrast. If you feel she is slightly "high key" it was purposeful here. She had angelic qualities that I wanted to portray here. Plus it was a sunny day. No dodging or burning here. Shot with Tmax 400. Interestingly, over the last decade, she has been my cutest/most photogenic subject and I didn't even know her! Backups?

Tony Rowlett Posted March 9, 2000 Author Share Posted March 9, 2000 Shawn, do you suppose you could go in and add the final quote mark after leaning.jpg just before the width tag? Dang it. I'm always missing that last quote! Backups? We don’t need no stinking ba #.’ _ , J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_harris Posted March 9, 2000 Share Posted March 9, 2000 She is indeed angelic looking. I find a lot of the rest of the picture to be distracting. Have you experimented with different cropping to get everything to work together? Guess you can't find her to get some more shots...The expression and her entire bearing are so good that it might be worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Rowlett Posted March 9, 2000 Author Share Posted March 9, 2000 Thanks for your response. This is mostly full frame, so I could maybe crop some. I hate the car, but I actually think the woman in the background contrasts well with the girl. I wish I could find her, but she's probably 16 or 17 by now and long gone from the apartment bldg.

jeff_spirer1 Posted March 9, 2000 Share Posted March 9, 2000 I don't see it. Where is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Rowlett Posted March 9, 2000 Author Share Posted March 9, 2000 It loads for me, but there is a slight glitch in that I left out the last quote after the URL of the image. Click on <a href="http://www.alaska.net/~rowlett/images/leaning.jpg">this Little Girl link</a> as an alternative. Backups?

twmeyer Posted March 9, 2000 Share Posted March 9, 2000 I like the way the background receeds into grey and your girl pops out in the higher values. At first I thought the background was solarized. Maybe some local toning (make her warm and leave the background cold, a la Phil Borges) would help you past this issue. I think you did a very good job, printing <i>and</i> scanning... t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Rowlett Posted March 9, 2000 Author Share Posted March 9, 2000 Thanks, Tom! This was printed using split-grade techniques. Left sleeve being brightest and right below car being darkest. Backups? We don’t need no stinking ba #.’ _ , J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
