Thanks for liking. I think that the effect of making the book "abstract" is what make this picture work. The picture tells a story about a girl consumed by her book, we as viewers can only speculate what she is reading..

This is more as an experiment. No extra lightning than the one present. It´s

shot with a 50mm normal, focused on her eye at f 3.5. The idea was to

make the book unsharp, while her eye was sharp. I classified it as street,

because this is for her a natural thing to do, and my role was to capture the

situation and telling a story about a girl found of reading.

Like the idea with this shot. Think it would have been better without the threes in the left top. I find them a bit disturbing. Clean edges as Ming Thein would have put it.

Some years ago art students decorated as old trafo. Here details from that

huge painting is captured as a test of my Nikon Df with the 135mm f2 AIS

lense. Shot in late afternoon sun light. Think camara and lens did a pritty

good job. No cropping at all. Enjoy

Thanks. I was very much in doubt, but felt that the closeup provided by the 135mm lens in this situation gave the artwork an extra stitch, and that I was able to see details (as you said its also a place) that are easily lost.

Alain, followed your advice and created a portrait variant. It is much

stronger cropped, Makes the shot more balanced. The statue and the light

pole.

Thanks

Thanks for comment. See your point. When I made it I tried to balance the statue between the two lamps.

Shot with a 85mm f2 AIS on a Nikon D700 at F8. Think the old timer

performed well.

Nikon F4, Kodak 400TMAX, f5,6, 1/250s, 85mm 1,4. Framed this litle girl

while exploring my home town with an film based camera. This was the first

roll of film in years. Great experience.

This is shot with my Nikon F4 on Kodak 400TMAX, f5,6 using my Nikon,

1/250s, 85mm f1.4 lens. The use of film adds a tone to it that I never

mange to get going digital. Have been a pleasure to begin shoot film again,

even though some might call me a museum manager.

The small stone in front was part of an art project. Think ti made a tiny

foreground in front of the massive Troll wall in the bacground, 1000 meter

of verdical granite, with peaks stretching up to 1800m above the valley.

Felt this image with its clouds captured the drama of tne nature in a good

way.

The flower girl in city of Molde at an early evening in November. Hand held

at ISO2500, 50mm prime.

Definitely. 

Focused at the edge by will. I have added a BW version of the shot below. Make it even more gloomy.

You are right with respect to the D700 frame. Typing error. And as you say there are alternative options available.
