Your opinion about this picture is much appreciated.

Please share your thoughts on this photo.

 

Thanks!

Melahn,

 

set the "film" speed as high as possible. With analog film 3200 ISO is acceptable for concert work without flash, 6400 is better.

A spot meter would help determine the correct exposure time. This photo looks like you could have exposed a stop shorter because the highlights on the guitar and his shirt are totally blown out.

If your camera doesn't go to ISO 3200, consider using a monopod.

 

Cheers,

Tobias

Hi there, please let me know what you think of the photo.

Thanks, Jamie!

Quoting Tim Rudman: "Lith printing is a simple but different Black & White printing technique, using ordinary B&W or colour negatives, a suitable black & white paper and Lith developer from which the process gets its name. It involves heavily overexposing a suitable black and white paper usually by two or three stops - and then only partially developing it in a highly diluted lith developer."

There is a number of further lith prints in my portfolio. Feel free to check them out.

Lithprint from colour negative. I'm interested in whether you think

the look works or not.

Your comments are greatly appreciated.

I like the bored look on his face, his red hair and the ambient light. I think that especially the way he looks gives the picture meaning. I would crop the picture a little bit tighter though to remove the left door and the writing on the sleeve.

Maria,

 

glad you like the pic. I didn't use flash. Instead I pushed Tri-X to ISO 1600 and shot whenever the light was sufficient.

Let me know what you think.

Do you have a large version of that photo, too?

Lith print of myself. Let me know what you think.

Let me know what you think about the contrast-rich blown out look. The

negative does have a nice tone range but I found the standard print

too boring. I developed the pic very hard and liked the result a lot

better.

greatly welcome!

Let me know what you like about this photo and what bothers you.

Shot in hard noon light with a red filter. Any feedback greatly welcome!

I'd be happy for any honest feedback. Tell me why you like it or why

you hate it.

What do you think? Does it leave you cold or does it do something for

you?

The picture is a bit blurred and the contrast is a bit too high. The motive is interesting enough, so you might want to try the same shot with a shorter focal length so you get a sort of fisheye convergence. Try to take it again when there's softer light (early in the morning or before sunset).

Kyle,

the glasses are prescription glasses and they are coated so they don't reflect light at all.

Please share your thoughts on the composition of this picture. I'm

planning to do it again with darker liquor and ice cubes and I might

move the glass over to the right and replace it with an ash tray and

burning cigarrette. Thanks!

This might have been a good photo. Next time, try to focus on the soliders. There's too much grass in the foreground which leads to the soldiers being too far away and not detailed enough.

It's a lamp reflecting in a guitar headstock...it doesn't invoke any feelings in me. The contrast is too high and the headstock is one with the background. The picture might work better with a bigger tonal range and less lamp imo.

Please comment on composition and aesthetics. What about convergence?

Would you rather see the pillar straight?

Great picture! I feel the tighter cropping destroys a lot if not all of the atmosphere of the original picture. The sofa and window are essential to the vibe of the image imo.
