You are the undisputed master of Velvia! The photos are typically a bit more than outstanding but what ammazes me most is your command and control over this difficult film that rewards only those few, who are able to really control this film.

 

Have my sincere regards, you're a master.

 

PS: I'm stopping to rate your photos because it's no use. Assume all 7/7

Hey I like it! A very well executed people/reportage photo

Perfect composition! Additional bonus points if you didn't crop it ...

GASP!

There is very slight overall haze (probably a scanning/color correction issue) but such a nice photograph.

I see some overall red cast (see the lights far away and the shadows of the jetty) and some magenta cast (see bottom edge of right half). Apart from that, nicely done.

A good shot, you have captured the moment and spontaneity quite nicely.

 

A couple minor gripes:

 

1. It does look a bit underexposed. I observe you shot this on color negative film, I'm not sure if it is a problem with scanning, my monitor settings or original exposure.

 

2. Well, this would have been difficult but for shots like these, often they work best when the foreground object is in sharp focus. I know it is terribly difficult to focus a fast moving ball, perhaps possible to do by zone-focusing but that's quite challenging at well.

 

 

You make scenes look great!

Beautifully done and quite original composition. Would like a bit more shadow detail.

Your understanding of lighting is commendable. I'm not a great fan of nude/glamour photographs but this is one of the loveliest "landscape and nude" shots I've ever seen.

Another example of your great work, Kurt. Beautifully done!

Ok, I'm wondering how you managed to capture this beautiful expression while looking onto the lens and not the viewfinder!

 

Very good work!

I like it! One of those shots that invites the viewer to walk into the scene.

 

Also, I truly feel it is about time you added a 24mm or 28mm wide-angle prime lens to your arsenal. It will open up a new world of photographic possibilities for you.

 

PS: Which time of the year was it -- autumn/winter?

Great. Perhaps a bit too contrasty? Otherwise nice ...

One of the loveliest seascapes I've ever seen. The picture is perhaps a bit less sharp than how much it could have been because of the "Sea and Sea" cameras limitations, I can see what you could have done only if you had a SLR in w/proof housing handy.

 

Great work, and I only wish photo.netters stopped rating photos they do not understand much about. The prior ratings really indicate that ...

I love it. It reminds me of the town I used to live in when I was a kid. The two persons on the bridge add an extra dimension to the image.

 

This image touches me, brings back memories of bygone days. Thank you for posting, this is kind of uncanny feeling I get .

 

Where did you take the shot? It must be a place I don't know but ..

"Breathtaking" would be an understatement. Along with photography, you've mastered this film, Vincent. It appears you think like Velvia when taking your shots.

Great expression! What is this breed of dog? I once had a Lhasa Apsoo that looked very much like this ...

Again proves the fact that you don't need high-end gear to take great photos. Well done!

Very nice.

Yes. This is stunning.

If it is velvia, I can safely bet there is a lot of details/tone in the dark areas not captured in this scan. Nice shot, would be even better if composed slightly more towards the left and including the whole flower.

 

Good work.

Most powerful composition I have seen in a while. The contrast and saturation is a bit overwhelming to my eyes and could do better with a bit less

This is not a mosquito. This is a Plume Moth as far as I can guess

More than composition, what intrigues me is the lighting. A perfect balance between backlighting and sidelighting. You have used Velvia well and ' appreciate the metering considering fact that it was taken with an FE2.
