Courthouse Tower Reflections

Thanks for looking at this. I'd appreciate your feedback. I think

I will also post a cropped version in this same folder. cc

Great ref shot

Love this shot quite a bit.

I was there two weeks ago and I got to tell you, you have captured this beautifully giving justice to this wonderful place.

 

beautifully captured & copmosed. luv the saturated colors & magic light.

Excellent perspective, how did you scan your image?

I use an Epson 3200 flatbed. Most of the time I scan at 3200dpi for 6x7 transparencies--that gives me enough MegaPixels to print a 16x20 @ 360dpi. If I have difficult lighting, I will scan at 16-Bit, but this image was scanned at 8-Bit, 3200dpi. cc

Great photograph Chris...medium format at its best! In the Tech Details you mention that you used a 45mm f2.8 lens. I have the 45 as well but it is an f4. Is that a typo or do you know something that I don't? Regards.

Indeed my lense is f4.0. When I "Added a new lens" in the Photo.net database, someone else had already enterered 45mm, F2.8, and I mistakenly clicked that option. I've just never gone back and corrected it...... Sorry, cc.

13Jan05: Just learned about converting images from RGB to sRGB for web-posting. So this is a better version I just up-loaded. cc

Stunning photograph! your portfolio is excellent too

 

Cheers, Rafael

i don't know why i haven't yet commented on this photo. i've specifically come to your page to look at this on several separate occasions. it's a favorite of mine among the thousands i've viewed on this site. the reflection, light, leading lines, wide angle, vertical composition, and most importantly, the strong and powerful central location of the tower makes for a unique and memorable image. just awesome!!
