Hot Summer Nights

Excelente iluminacion, El ... Saludos.

hi El!First handheld of all congratulations on your different kind of work. I like the sharpness although it is handheld. plus the dof is very well adjusted. congratulations.

I don't know what else to say but well done. What a great picture! Thanks for the heads up on Palouse Cemetary, I changed the frame. Best Wishes-Jim

Splendida ed elegantissima cattura! Un doppio sette indiscutibile. Magnifica composizione. Bravissima, El! Un abbrccio! Maria

Che dire oramai non mi stupisco più. I tuoi scatti fanno sempre centro.

Questa è veramente bella ed elegante il mio 7/7 anon.

Salutoni.

Raoul

Buenisima foto... Refrescante blanco y negro.....y bellisima mujer. Enhorabuena

bronze medal. bel momento anche qui, mai banale, ma lo sfuocato (che vedo essere fatto in ripresa e non in postproduction) non mi convince, perchè la donna appare come incollata.

Thank you very much for your visit, your supporting comments and evaluations. It's always a pleasure for me to see you back on my submissions and I appreciate and read every single word with much attention with the objective to improve my postings successively. Thanks again to all of you.

 

To the notorious low rating 'anonymous' just the message that:

 

1.) I will not hesitate to post material which I want to share with the group of friends I think I might have on PN.

 

2.) You will not be able to jeopardize the pleasure and fun I have on PN , including the learning experience I go through.

 

On request I personally translate this message in seven other common languages if you can't handle this one.

 

Best regards, El

Es una obra de arte El. Ya decia que la temperatura estaba subiendo.. ¿sabes qué le echo en falta?. La banda sonora. Un título de esos que te gustan, recordando las antiguas melodías de los 50' y 60' (Cole Porter, Sinatra, Mancini, Morricone...). Era una broma musical.

La foto es perfecta, elegante en estilo y ejecución (que bonito puede ser el b/w). Mi enhorabuena y dos grandes sietes.(por cierto, quien es la modelo?? ;-))

Dear Andrea, it's a great pleasure for me to see you back on my submissions. I thank you for the time you spend to evaluate this one. Concerning your comment generally the following: There is always room for improvement of course but 'de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum...' I acknowledge what you say and you might have a point. Notwithstanding, I like the image because of three reasons: I love the 50mm 1.2 glass very much for the ad hoc, handheld, no flash night shots. I wanted the fg sharp with a very shallow bg. ( If I could shoot again I would try to go down to 1.4/ 1.2 to achieve more blurr) . Finally, the 'model' is my daughter who needed a ( cheap) drink at 30° plus at night after a good dinner ...Remains to say, nothing is converted or PS constructed except some sharpness and frame adjustments. Thanks again, Andrea and see you around, El

Nice black and white and good 'catching the moment.' As mentioned maybe could use a little bit more blur in bg.

Excellent shot, El. Composition and detail are awesome. 7/7. I tip my cap to once again. By the way, your choice of words to these pathetic "hit and run" low raters who give no justification for their ratings, makes me even more proud to associated to you than I already am. Best wishes, have a great week..Lawrence

P.S. you have a very beautiful daughter.

Andrea de Bonis, mio carissimo amico (...ci conosciamo personalmente...) a volte e' eccessivo!...ma gli voglio bene per questo! Incollata, proprio non direi, anzi...scollata al punto giusto! Per me c'e' qualche problema nella gestione dei bianchi!...Ciaomau!

i'm late again. perfect shot. 1/20, you really have very steady hands. best wishes.

C'e' eleganza, femminilita', sensualita , fascino anche se non fosse una candid foto i mie piu' sentiti complimenti Ciao Anto

Thank you to all of you for your supportive and constructive comments. I appreciate your visits and contributions very much. Best regards, El

 

To Chan: - The 'steady hand' is easy to explain: On higher Iso the mentioned shutter speed is sufficient to achieve the result above with that glass. Warm regards, El

Excelente toma,muy bien compuesta y desbordanto elegancia con una magnifica pose.Sensacional luz y b&w.Ademas creo haber entendido que la modelo es tu hija,por lo que debo felicitarte doblemente.aunque solo la puedo puntuar una vez.Max.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

Un altro capolavoro, ma come fai??!! Ha i toni quasi delle buone vecchie carte baritate, ottimi bianchi, neri leggibili e grigi perfetti che da stampatore di altri tempi, credevo impossibili da rendere. Non mi resta che farti i più vivi complimenti. Giorgio

Very good exposure,light perspective and tone,Els. My appeal to you, let not the rating nuisance poison your peace. I agree with you entirely. We learn from each other and enjoy viewing good images.

Lovely image and composition. The B&W tonality is also very good.

 

Greetings from India

Beautiful portrait photography on the street.

Ahimè non sono d'accordo con i miei amici Maurizio - i bianchi mi piacciono - e Andrea - la ragazza non appare affatto incollata e io adoro le immagini con un background così sfocato. E' una splendida foto El e tua figlia è una bellissima ragazza. Ottime tonalità di grigio, bianco e nero, la pelle poi è così naturale. Anch'io ho comprato da poco un 50 mm poi vedremo cosa riuscirò a fare. Buone vacanze El ci ritroviamo a fine mese. Ciao e complimenti.

P.S. 7/7 alla faccia degli anonimi invidiosi.

Thank you dear friends for visiting and evaluating my posting. I appreciate your supporting comment very much. See you around and best regards, El

PN will not allow me to rate you a 7 on this, but I'll be back for an upgrade. Not only is the summer night HOT but your model and our image are too! I find myself wondering what it would be like to be a water fountain when such a customer comes along...

Wonderful, El Porte-Bonheur, simply wonderful. What a mood. A very elegant and timeless shot.
