knut_schwinzer Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Here's some ugly swirly UFO Sonnar-type BOK, okay? Though I like the pic! Somebody stated (In the recent thread of Alex, referring to A. Sander) that it might be well a subliminal pictorious effect not common to non.photographers. Guess that's on target!<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutz Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 To confirm your point, Knut, here's another portrait of the <a href="http://www.desitin.de/images/van_Gogh1887.jpg">same gentleman</a>. I guess they call that swirly pictorial quality "gogheh"...? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knut_schwinzer Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Right you are, Lutz, I remember, he's one of the first Boquesionists, not highly renowed by his contemporaries, but selling in franchise-RIP-mode like donuts: Fivecent van Boque.

lutz Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Here's another classic of his: <a href="http://www.mgf-kulmbach.de/bilderdaten/bilder/Bilder/van%20gogh%201889_jpg.jpg">"Noctilights"</a>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumpton Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 "Noctilights" (or whatever Van Gogh called it) is truly magnificent, a development of his style beyond the equally powerful "Sower". I do like your photo Knutz, the expression, but the bokeh is "for the birds" - typical "double line" bokeh (Japanese "nitsen"?) often produced by 50 mm Nikkors, even the great SC series. Have you tried Leica's "king of bokeh", the Mandler (in Canada) designed 35 Summicron from the late 70s, early 80s?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 It's hard to tell anything from that M2/Nikkor shot because there's so much camera shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan_reynolds Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 If you used a compensating developer and conventional printing, you could burn in those lights so they are less distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knut_schwinzer Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Bill, maybe it was the strong bass in the concert takin' place... Or a slight earthquake, or You live on top of the tube, but I'm never shakin' my cameras. This I do only with industrial fruit juices. It's obviously a slow shutter speed, the guy is movin', he's alive!But shake?... For me the Impression...errh...expression, and vice versa,(sic!) are far more important. By the way, are'nt they pretty well outlined, the OOF donuts? Bill, don't missunderstand me! I just didn't ask for surgery... Thanks for your reply, Lutz,tienes humor, du hast es getroffen! I'd like to see more pics, fresh stuff, without inferiority complex, zone system affairs, pixel counting... I enjoy my tools,they give me great reserves, (if I'm up to!) don't you?! For me, that's the most valid point. And: Shoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
