post your urban landscapes

[Ari]

Jonathan,
You've been showing a lot of these Aero-Ektar images lately, and I never tire of them.
They are very pleasing, in a quiet way; kudos.

Ari,

That's very kind of you to say, thank you. I'll keep posting them as long as I keep shooting them. I really enjoy the Aero-Ektar when shot in this fashion. Every time I go downtown I come up with something I like; I just need to do it more often!

Taken this afternoon in downtown Portland. I thought I had the camera level but it doesn't appear to have been the case. It may have moved during film holder insertion.

I like it better as is, without the camera level. Also really like the way you've used out-of-focus areas. Between the two I think you've obtained a really unusual urban landscape, more interesting than if it had been the typical "parallel lines, everything sharp from front to back" LF photograph.

Very nice

Thanks, Brian. I do try to use severe tilt/swing/shift to enhance the image and not just for effect. Sometimes, though, I see the result and think, "That scene didn't need any swing at all." Knowing when to use it and when not is the hard part. Here I liked the way the lamp post at the top of the bridge was in focus as well as the middle of the street below. It adds to the sense of scale for me.

Hi there,

Here's one of my very first pictures in LF, first batch sent to processing. For now, photographying with LF has been a treat.
New Orleans from the westbank of the Mississipi.
Feel free to criticize

Very well done Myxine. Interesting balance and good tonality. Not sure what the object in the lower right corner is and I see banding in the sky, probably from the scan. All in all a great start. Post more.
