Church with Gargoyles II

This was my second Leica rangefinder photo ever taken.

Some of my friends say is the best of the bunch I took that

evning.

I used the sunny 16 exposure method. It was a little bit

overcasted so I went ahead and exposed at f11. The main

reason for the shooting was to check how much of what I looked

in the viewfinder actualy got on the negative.

I plan to scan the negative later to play more with tonality in

Photoshop.

 

Thank you for your time

I like the idea but those finials are just distracting.

That was quick! Thank you.

Excellent composition! I think that the out-of-focus finials are what makes this photo interesting. Otherwise, it would be nice but more of a record shot.

It's a great photo...

 

Congrats.

Probably my favourite in your portfolio. Some of your B&W 5x7 stuff is nice too, but does not come out with sufficient impact on the web. The main attraction here, of course, is the fence, that makes the whole church really gothic; the gargoyles alone wouldn't do the job as well.

 

In reference to my "Daydreamer" picture, well, I know that the low raters have no clue - I checked their portfolios... Thanks for the link to altphoto, but I've known the place for a while. Apart from Vandyke, I do cyanotypes and Polaroid emulsion lifts. I just processed my first sheets of 8x10 film tonight - just bought an antique view camera - and prepared some paper for cyanotype printing tomorrow or Tuesday. Nice 4x5 sheets were already nice enough, but 8x10 is awesome!

 

Some of my alt process work is shown on my own small photo community, at http://photopixel.tilttek.com/

This is GORGEOUS!!!! I love the finial shadows...the toning choices you've made...the sharp angularity running through the middle of the image--the way the height difference in the three "towers" is accented by the camera angle...

 

Hmmm--I don't think there's ANYTHING I don't like about this shot! :-)

 

Great work!!!!! :-)

Gracias por tu comentario. Acabo de descubrirte en Photo.net... necesito tiempo para ver. :) Maravillosa foto.

Gracias Imanol.

Yo recuerdo que tus fotos fueron de las primeras que vi en photo.net. La de la chica saliendo del coche con el cigarrillo y la de los carritos de la feria en colores. VEo que has seguido progresando mucho. Paz amigo de photo.net

Veo que tienes muy buena memoria. Me alagas. Esta foto la mejoraria un poco en las diagonales de la valla y en no cortar la gargola de la derecha. Lo demas lo veo estupendo. Una foto dificil para una camara no reflex. :)
