SF Bay-side spoilings

This pile of waste earth was only 8-10 ft tall- A wide angle

lense and stopped down aperature was used to obscure size.

Vignetting? Oops. But I kind of like it.

Nice abstract. Interesting printing. But why the vignetting in the corners? I question the look. Almost Fee-like. James

Good composition, shame about the vignetting. Printing the edge of the negative is traditionally something that belongs in the genre of documentary, suggesting objectivity with the uncropped picture. This motive belongs, it seems to me, in the new landscape genre, talking about nature under the influence of culture. I don't think that printing the edges does anything to enhance the image, it might actually look cleaner and stronger without it.

I like the vignetting, it gives the photo a bit of dimention. It's not always bad, but hard-core by-the-rules photographers will tell you that it is.

Don't worry about the vignetting. It's a good image.
