87 May 19 Reply Hi Jennifer - I really appreciate you saying that - its my sincere pleasure to help when I can. May 20th
87 May 19 Reply Though a classic scene in the art world - it proves every shot is not the same and in this case, lighting, the haze in the distance, the vehicle, culminate into its (your) own interpretation. Converting to BW was perfect and completes the composition. Love it! LAL May 12th
87 May 19 Reply And allow me to add, this is a great example of "visualization": looking all around, including up - which a lot of photographers forget to do - in search of odd or exciting perspectives. This works for photos like this and just as effective while strolling the forest: look up, turn around and also see what's behind you. Every time we (move) another alternative perspective or altogether new vision can appear. Nicely done, Jennifer. LAL May 12th
87 May 19 Reply The In-your-face perspective was carefully chosen to, as you say,allow steel to emanate a sense of power. The grit (grain) on this BW film aided in producing this illusion. The two photography dynamics are part of learning visualization and thus "creating" from behind the viewfinder.

I especially enjoy the scope of view and sense of "grandness" wide angle lenses achieve. It does not work in all circumstances, but an important tool inside my camera bag, as it were. LAL		 May 12th
87 May 19 Reply Hi Graham, everyone: so, first, as you know films have a native ISO setting: in the grocery stores you see 100, 400, 800 most color negative films (well, at least a few years ago - now most are gone), these are the ISO settings you set your film camera at. Digital: most DSLR's have a native setting between ISO100 and ISO250 which produces the least amount of digital noise: lower the ISO lower the digital noise, or with film, least amount of grain. Alternatively, higher ISO will increase noise and grain respectively: with Black & white film, you will (sometimes)achieve more contrast at higher ISO settings.

Eastman-XX/5222 has native ISO-250, but I set my film camera at ISO 800 (making me able to shoot in lower light), and increasing the contrast after the film is developed.

When I sent my film to lab I instructed them to "Push" developing to 800, as not to follow the instructions set for developing the film at ISO 250. Hope this helped! :)		 May 12th
87 May 19 Comment Hi Graham. Yeah, I really like this in BW, for sure. I agree with Jennifer, the distant car adds perspective. Need to ask, was the SUV added or you waited until a vehicle passed? Lovely, piece in any case! :) May 10th
87 May 19 Reply Yup - that's the way to get these...great capture, Jennifer! May 5th
87 May 19 Comment Guess, Jennifer hit it on the head - very Sci-Fi and really like the depth. Can't wait to see (and climb) this beast next time I travel to NYC to finish a personal photo project I am currently engaged in.

Yeah, have to give it to cell phone technology - gee whiz!! Thanks for sharing, Mike.		 May 5th
87 May 19 Comment Really, really like this perspective, Jennifer. Where were you standing/sitting to get this view? Also, what program was used on your camera setting? Focus is great! Depth of field deep (as would be expected being shot at F/14).

In all, lovely composition! :)		 May 5th
87 May 19 Reply Hi Jennifer. Yes, a bit tight, and more space would too, be an alternative composition, indeed. Nothing like film to exhibit the finer and coarser textures found in both nature and man-made objects, and portraits. Very happy you like it. Thank you. :) May 5th
