bruce_hamm 0 Posted August 21, 2002 This was taken in somewhat softer light than my last critique request, so the contrast is not so extreme. Let me know what you think... Link to comment
pedja 1 Posted August 22, 2002 Have you tried to place the cottage differently within the frame? Maybe, placing it in the top third, avoiding the sky completely and letting more of the foreground into the frame would have improved an already good image. Link to comment
bruce_hamm 0 Posted August 22, 2002 I actually took several photos of this scene using different compositions and different films. With the IR film, this is the one that I was drawn to (if you haven't already noticed, I'm partial to the portrait orientation ;-). I took one shot with Tech Pan that is very similar to what you've described Predrag, and when I get it out of the darkroom I'll post it. Link to comment
nomade 1 Posted August 22, 2002 Compositionally for me is OK. But the weakeast point here is the lack of tonal range, more than the contrast. I don't know too much about shooting with IR, but I've seen better results from this kind of stuff. I wonder if it would have been better w/out the red filter... just curious. Link to comment
dabar 0 Posted August 23, 2002 Personally, I would like this better with the cottage at the upper-right intersection of a 2x3 grid, from a slightly lower position with more forground. I would also prefer a fuller tonal range. It is a very nice shot as-is, but I think it could be even better. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted August 24, 2002 If what you had in mind was give it an archaic and classic look, you've done it. The grains contributed nicely to that effect. Link to comment
peten 0 Posted August 25, 2002 I have to agree with previous comments on the composition & tonal range but having said that the atmosphere conveyed is pure magic. Link to comment
