Monument is sort of placed in the focus point of the wall if it were

mirroring. It isn't, and the sun probably never is right, too. The

Hague itself is not the worst city.

Statue near palace in the Hague, A little film would be too much for a

statue maybe, but some pictures on a row I think are fine. Nowehere

else in holland probably, this stuff.

This scenery is hard to compare with most else in Holland, pleasantly

away from much which sucks, as often with watersides. This is a sea

harbour (north sea), with storage space nearby for fishermen. Slides,

or at least better quality of the encoded result would be better.

There is a most of the way right about the atmosphere, maybe it should

have been taken with a bit more light.

A girlfriend took the picture, which turned out even more dramatic

after some brightness and sharpness adjustments.

Nice picture, what's the current?

Looks sort of half glossy in a way I like. Am not sure about the

realism level of the colours, but is was a warm sunny day, and that

gets across.

Somewhere between a good view and just bearable.

The bridge seems to lead to darkness, but it doesn't on the other

side there's more of the nice enough town.

A clothed beach picture with conventional camera, scanned

at reasonable resolution and some processing to change the

contrast curve, though not till the end.

 

The dunes' vegetation looses much of its sharpness through

the jpegifization, though the rest seems ok.

View this one at high resolution, that's what it

has been processed for, otherwise it becomes

unproportionally fuzzy.

 

Aren't these sharpening filters (sampling derivative based) something...

 

I remember photoshop does this stuff pleasing,

though not mathematically very tracible.

I'd have liked the photo to have been a bit wider, but

it wasn't. I never sow such a track before amd it had a

nice quality to it; I didn't get the bus in line

very sharp but the idea works.

Would they make the metal rust this way for eastetical reasons or is that mere chance..

Without it, a lot of colour interest

would be gone.

I should have used a tripod, a light meter, more orchestrating andchoosing of frame and distance and it might have been a cheep sensitive film (it was on a holiday), still I like it as such a shot.

Don't hesitate browsing some pics on my server.

I was looking through some of the camera test pictures, I tried more

than a few cameras for price/Q ratio and serious applicability, and

downsized this one te be sharp enough.

I'm sure there are many books about the subject

stating more than I know, but I guess you could

try to focus on the centre to make the fine

detail there a bit more liny. It could be just

the jpeg, but it would seem to me that pinkys'

backside isn't as shart as its most close leaf

endings.

Is nature this way? It at least isn't as organized and slick as

it is portraied often, and in this case there is just an amount

pf disorder and a strange type of non-offensiveness, which

probably is part of the picture process.

It looks best in high res (on a 1400x1200 its a nice background), though I didn't get the sharpness up to full possibilities with the Gimp package for that completely, though the scan resolution would allow it.

I might put the highres on my own server (currently here, see via theover.tripod.com), I'm in the process of getting my files organized.I put another, bigger one http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1179470">here.

It wasn't me he took the picture (I'm at the piano), it's more an athmosphere idea, not an aestetics prize attempt.

contrast/brightness adjusted globally, cropped a bit.

the motion, general impressiopn and I guess a certain athmosphere I

wouldn't know how to paraphrase. I took this pne straight from the

cam, no processing.

kodak 200 or 400 film, I forgot, scanned, not much processed, though

it seems a tft monitor I used before made this version a bit brighter.
