Chatham Pictures. Any Comments?

[tim_franklin]

I just finished posting a folder of pictures taken at Chatham

Historic Dockyard in Kent, UK. See it <a

href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=240212">

here</a>. Any comments would be most welcome, especially

constructive criticism. Thanks in advance.<p>Perhaps my

favourite is this one<br><center><img

Whoops! Forgot to say that all were shot with M3 and 50 'cron on

Velvia rated 40.

I like the shots very much. You have proven that it's not neccesary to use high speed film, a through-the-lens exposure reading, a high speed lens or an odd-ball focal length. 50 year old technology and a good eye!

On a whole the series doesn't do much for me. I see some shots that have potential, but they're dull color wise, low contrast and not very sharp so it's hard to get a definative reaction on them for me.

 

Compositionally some are fairly good, but some again just don't do it for me. If I get a chance I'll go in and be more specific within the folder and comment on a few.

Thanks both so far.

 

Carl - I appreciate what you say, and will look out for a more in

depth comment if you get the time. The sharpness issue is one

that bugs me; the original slides are sharp (and contrasty, the

first shot was a hard one to scan!) but my lack of

scanning/post-scanning skills seem to let me down. I'm always

admiring other people's pictures here and elsewhere, and

thinking why the hell can't I get sharp results like that.
