Nice new look at the Eifel Tower. From viewing your folder, I like your use of foreground elements in front of buildings.. gives them a fresh look. Well done.

Nice colors, very serene. A pretty picture.

Beautiful picture. My envy is for the Wisner.

Just looked at your folder... stunning work. I'll be coming back to look more closely at your landscapes. You are a master of the craft. Reminds me of Eliot Porter's color work.

Greetings Gerard,

These are basically "street" photographs, taken after they spilled out of a bar on Saturday (early Sunday AM) night a bit lit. I stopped a few groups and asked to take their picture. It was a dangerous place to be with an expensive camera, but (as I was a bit lit also) thought the subject was worth the risk. I did a few rolls on different nights since I was quite pleased with the frst roll. They are somewhat posed, in that I often asked for them to show "attitude", but nothing like a fashion shoot, where clothing and lighting could easily be changed -- and black clothing is di rigor for the Goths.

I used a Sunpak 555 and a StoFen OmniBounce, sometimes with a TTL connector, and other times not (I lost a piece to it, my girlfriend later found).

Thank you for your comment, it is my first since I began showing at photo.net

The light and compostiton works. I was suprised it was a digital image. If you have a film camera make a Velvia slide of the same and print on Ilfochrme paper -- it likes red.
