www.antiquecameras.net Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 catchlights in boths eye would make this an outstanding photo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 HUH? There are catch lights in each eye on my monitor. Nice natural shot Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.antiquecameras.net Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 MW...what a nick-pick PITA. I try to play along with this forum...there is a sliver a catchlight in the childs left eye - two, clear BIG catchlights would have made this shot far more powerful<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_lo_..._t_o Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Catchlights as they are are good enough, too bright might be over the top. Part of the Leica style is a more realistic approach. Kodak Moments you can get, but why reach for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_lo_..._t_o Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Esp. as the girl has those lovely blue(light grey here)eyes. Bright reflections in them might detract from their translucence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

www.antiquecameras.net Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 how about these catchlights ? unrealistic ? un-leica, like ?<p> Probably, taken with a Zeiss Planar 50/1.7<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_. Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Nice shot. She looks like a child version of Elizabeth Montgomery (who played in Bewitched). I wouldn't want more catchlight, it's an overdone effect especially since auto-fill-flash became the standard on every P&S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_boyle3 Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 There's a warmth in the girl's picture that really stands out. On the other hand the photo of the cat is quite pleasing also. I live in a cat house with 25 of the little critters (several just showed up as strays over the years - #25 a week ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_lo_..._t_o Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 The ambient light in Chris' picture is that of an overcast day, which, with the slightly unkempt blonde hair, and the flowers, is reminiscent of a Julia Margaret Cameron image(not a well known Leica photographer, but we can forgive her). Brighter catchlights would imply more sunlight than is apparent. By the way, Colucci; you ARE playing the game. This IS the game, in fact. Your cat close up is nice, catch-lights and all. The picture of the Frowning Guy with the grains of salt all over it...well, I don't know. He's scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry_kincaid1 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Catchlight? Why not just add red eye? I don't think that the light reflection adds anything to any of these photos, including the one with the Leica eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglas k. Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Oh, this is rich. After ripping my posted photos up and down, and even singling out a shot for being only shades of gray, Mark Tillman posts a dead-centered mugshot rendered completely in zones three though six? 'Course, I'm the one who argues that one's own photographic abilities are unrelated to one's critical analyses, so I'm not denying Mark a right to his own opinion. But this just makes my day. <p>I'm presuming the girl may be your daughter, and she is awfully cute, but the photo doesn't do justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.antiquecameras.net Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 DK - dont you know in Leica land everything is backwards...pedestrian photography rules the day ! Your shot must be flawed and taken with a Leica...then the praise comes pouring in from these guys..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
