Through the Broken Glass

I kind of like this perspective. Does it work for you, or do the

black edges bother you? I shot this through a shattered truck

window.

this works for me, the obvious star in the windows makes it clear that it is shot from within something. The couple's movement (symmetry) & the composition is just fine.

I think the idea is just great, but it could have been done better: you need a wide angle and set it to f11 or f16. I've tried something similar with a mirror and a 28mm and the angle wasn't wide enough to have the DOF I wanted... I think you need a 20mm to get something like this. The defocused crack seems more like a spider or an alien life form.

 

The tones are really good... looks like you made a lots of progresses with the manipulation of digital pictures... I really love the graininess here.

This was a stop on my Route 66 drive and I was actually taking photos of some of the old rusted vehicles when I saw this couple. It was a hasty shot and I agree a different DOF would have been better but I kind of like it anyway.

 

As for the tones? Seven and Blagoy gave me some tips and I've been experimenting more with my recent uploads. Still don't have a specific system down and my conversions are not yet consistent, but I think I'm getting there. I tend to get a lot of grain in low light situations, and it's cool as long as it doesn't come across as digital noise.

 

 

PS I was referring to this one: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2831756

Lovely shot. Perhaps it would have been really cool if the crack was also in focus, but I think it's a great shot anyway - that couple is just wonderful!

nice..

good, very nice. I'd have tilted the lens a little, or shor straight through the crack so it covered the couple. Then again my pic might have sucked.

Sometimes I think I'm an alien life form too ;-)

Very nice--the crack adds to the overall atmosphere of the image (dof doesn't bother me). Good composition. It all comes together in an evocative shot.
