I do not understand what you photographed. I would not waste film

[Corran]

Great, thanks for your helpful comment...?

[Rory_5244]

Lol, I'm sure Arkasha was pulling your leg. I like both photos just fine. I like that you went up a mountain with 8x10 even better!

[Corran]

Perhaps - but if not, I would like to say I am all for constructive feedback (in fact, I wish there was more here). But "I would not waste film" isn't constructive. Honestly these are certainly not in my top photographs! I am learning a new place - photographing here in the mountains is much different than the swamps of Florida. I think it took me a good 2-3 years to really get comfortable shooting in the wilds of Florida, so right now I'm floundering a bit. I've shot a lot of film in the past couple of weeks and very little of it was worth a damn.

[Rory_5244]

Funny you should bring that up: I was trying to explain this to pro digital photographer friend of mine, but he didn't understand at all. It takes me a long time to really 'understand' a landscape to photograph it properly. I've been going back to the same places for twenty years. You do what you have to do, I understand EXACTLY what you mean. :)

[DennisD]

Perhaps - but if not, I would like to say I am all for constructive feedback (in fact, I wish there was more here). But "I would not waste film" isn't constructive.

Hi Bryan,
I understand the feeling you expressed about the viewer's comment. Clearly dependent on one's interpretation.

Since you post here frequently and are reasonably accomplished, others may be reluctant to comment unless you specifically solicit / welcome comments or criticism.

Just a suggestion for you to get the input you'd like to have.

Regards,

Dennis

[Corran]

others may be reluctant to comment unless you specifically solicit / welcome comments or criticism.

Good point. I've thought about adding a line in my signature saying "all comments and critique welcome" or something to that effect. When I was auditing photo classes the critique part was always my favorite class times. It's nice to know when people like, or dislike, a certain photograph, and why.

[Andrew O'Neill]

Hopefully something was lost in translation!

[stawastawa]

I like the wide open bedrock of the second shot. Reminds me of summiting granite hills in the Adirondacks, so an effective photograph to do that!. Bald mountains are cool!

Well, let's talk constructively.
What did you want to show these pictures? What you could bring 8x10 camera on the mountain? It seemed to me that these pictures were taken directly from the path when lifting.
Whether they are shot on 6x6 Hasselblad camera or 11h14, they would have remained with sketches tracking.
Yes, sometimes you can shoot on the move and I'm doing this, but it should see something interesting. Beautiful light or textured sky or something else.
The first shot of the entire oiled because of the wind. Try to re-shoot it on a smaller format with excerpts shorter.
the second shot, I will not discuss the - too many rocks.

I did not want to offend, I'm surprised such a reaction to the negative review ...

[Corran]

Arkasha,

No offense taken - I simply felt the statement of "I would not waste film" was a bit less than helpful and wanted to point out that helpful criticisms should be encouraged.

As evidenced by Nicholas' comments above, we all perceive things differently. I wanted to evoke the feeling I had when climbing the mountain and reaching the summit. I clearly failed in this regard for most viewers but it resonated with Nicholas. That's the interesting thing about photography (or art). Ultimately I shot what I shot with the camera I had on hand. Please understand that I was not trying to debate the merit of the photo, just the presentation of the critique. There may be some language barriers and cross-cultural things here too. No problems.

I absolutely welcome any and all thoughtful critique on anything I shoot. I am always learning.

[Andrew O'Neill]

Arkasha, your more constructive criticism in post #12044 would have sufficed. The comment about wasting film was quite rude.

[Fredrick]

I'm not foreign to wasting film. This was my first, or second shot with slide film. The composition isn't exactly great. But the light and colours look ok in my eyes.

[mmerig]

. . . . . "all comments and critique welcome" or something to that effect. When I was auditing photo classes the critique part was always my favorite class times. It's nice to know when people like, or dislike, a certain photograph, and why.

Corran's comment about learning a new landscape is something I can relate too. Mountain scenery comes a little easier to me than say Florida swamps (I have lived nearly all of my life in the Adirondack or northern Rocky Mountain regions). I think I would have a hard time getting interesting photos in Florida unless I lived there awhile

I like both of Corran's recent scenes (post #12034), but the trail one has better composition and tonal range. The exposures on both are good (the slab less so), and again, the trail scene is especially good given that woods scenes can be tough to expose well.

Were these hand-held shots? It's hard to tell, but some of the foliage looks blurry in the trail scene -- was it windy?

I wonder if the rock-slab scene could be improved with better composition (the slab less centered than it is now), and including an interesting crack that could lead the viewer's eye somewhere, or at least into the scene. Of course your scene does have a crack, but it is not prominent throughout. The scene sort of falls apart near the middle. Stronger side-lighting could help, but then long shadows from trees could interfere.

Topography in heavily forested mountain scenery is hard to capture for obvious reasons. One subject that may be fun to try are the small, forested streams. These mid-scale scenes are usually more manageable under a wide range of lighting than the broader landscape scenes -- at least it works that way for me.

[mmerig]

Here is a scene I am not very happy with, but was inspired to post it after responding to Corran's recent posts (it's not easy to capture mountain scenery well). This is Bear Butte, near Sturgis, South Dakota, taken in early morning this spring. The sky was much more interesting up until about 5 minutes before I took the picture. Bear Butte is a striking feature up close and from afar, but I found it hard to capture because of the many distractions around it (roads, power lines, etc). I cropped it so to remove some shrubs and trees in the foreground, I usually leave them in, but I could not fit them in a pleasing way.

Comments (+and -) are welcome, as usual.

This was taken with a 90-mm F8 Schneider-Kreuznach Super Angulon, 1/18 sec f22, with K2 yellow filter, with some rise, on Ilford FP4+ developed normally in Ilford ID-11

One thing I have trouble with is sizing the photos according to the LFPF rules. When the width is set to 750 pixels, the photo becomes quite soft on the screen. I noticed that at least some photos posted far exceed the LFPf's pixel limits. Does this photo look sharp enough? (the negative is very sharp).

Thanks.

[Peter De Smidt]

If the photos are hosted somewhere else, say on your website or Dropbox, you can size them as you'd like. You use the command with the url to the image between the tags.

[Corran]

mmerig, thank you for your in-depth commentary! Your comments regarding using a crack as a compositional element is especially apt. Not something I had thought about, as I am not used to having that option.

With some thoughts in mind I was actually out on the trail again this afternoon/evening. I was hiking near an area named Three Forks, on Hawk Mountain. I took this photo, on 4x5 with my 58mm XL:

[krishmandal]

Arkasha_from_Russia,
What is there to understand? I will forgive the language issue, I know English is not your first language, but "I would not waste film" is going to generally be taken to mean that you think this is "wasting film," or rather that you do not feel the artist has enough merit to even show this.
Perhaps that is not your meaning, maybe. Perhaps you meant to say something more sophisticated, but language did not come out right.
And, yes, I might agree that I do not "feel" something from these images, like I have felt from many of my own images, or some others who post here, but these images have merit, and they are not a waste of film. They are the vision that one photographer -- whether you agree with his art or not -- is trying to show us. This is not a photography or composition class. There was no "assignment" here, the photographer chose to simply shoot something that made him stop and look, and that should be more than acceptable for us. That said, we can certainly question his motives, his composition, his choices, but more professionally and humanely.

If I were to give criticism -- constructive criticism -- I would say this:
The first image has wonderful contrast. However it is not as successful as I think it can be, because of the composition, which seems to be a result of poor positioning, or a selection of framing that I think could have been better. I like the busy-ness of the background, and the tonality in the whole image, but there are bits and pieces of foliage in the foreground of the frame that feel distracting, and I might have chosen to reposition the camera or use some tilt-shit to selectively focus on what would be more important to the composition.

The second image is more successful, and reminds me of things that I shoot. There is decent tonality in it, but I think some post- work would make it spectacular. It has the makings of a high-contrast image, and you can selectively dodge/burn, or use other techniques to bring out the contours and texture of the rock. I might have tried to reposition the camera again here, to remove the small crack at the very bottom edge of the bottom-right of the frame.

That is my critique. I hope this was constructive and useful.

One person's "waste of film", is another's masterpiece.

[h2oman]

The sky was much more interesting up until about 5 minutes before I took the picture.

I say embrace the blank sky! Sometimes with a stark subject like this butte it is more effective than clouds.

Whatever the intended meaning was, the comment itself was utterly RUDE!

[Jmarmck]

Film used is not film wasted no matter the outcome. Film sitting in a fridge waiting for just the right occasion is a waste of film. JMaHO. A sheet ruined by pulling the darkslide too soon is not wasted. It should be a lesson learned. Some of us learn it more than once or at least have to be reminded occasionally. A shot filled with a massive rock is not a waste of film. There is always something to learn.

As for Bryan's shot I think the only problem with it is the lighting and time of day, something that is not always and rarely under our control. If you don't know take the shot. At least you can learn from it. I think this might work quite well with some low angle light and a dark sky and perhaps some adjustments in composition.

Bryan, I love the latest photo. It has a nice pleasant feel.
Nits: the highlights are a tad blown but that is a tough situation with the shade and direct sun. I can see what you are going after here. Just a few paces from here is an old oak with spanish moss hanging from its low limbs. I have shot countless frames at that tree trying to do exactly what you are doing here, portray the glow from the back lit plants yet capture the textures of the trees in the shade. Like I said a tough situation. Perhaps another approach would to expose for the plant glow and let the shade go dark. It might be more dramatic with a lower light and higher contrast. JMaHO. If it were me I think I would have tried to exclude the large tree as its mass is dominating the delicate nature of the ferns. At the least perhaps placement would be more to the left and up or down. But again, JMaHO.

[Peter Lewin]

First a disclaimer: I think the sub-thread on critique runs the danger of becoming personal to either Arkasha or Corran, and it should not. I think Arkasha raises some valid points which are being discounted because of the English, which in his post #12044 has some phrases garbled beyond recognition, such as "remained with sketches tracking." I thought there might be a language translation program at fault, but even if not, since I cannot write a single word in Russian (cyrillic script anyone?) I am not about to throw away the entire comment because of some language issues.

But to get to the positive, here are the thoughts Arkasha presents which I believe are valid considerations in any critique:"What did you want to show these pictures?," "it should see something interesting. Beautiful light or textured sky or something else."

In my words, but taken directly from Arkasha's comments, we make most photographs because something in the scene resonated with us, there was something we wanted to show the viewer. In the majority of images we intuit pretty immediately what that was, either something that struck us as beautiful, or a center of interest which caught our eye and imagination, or sometimes a sense of irony (Austin Granger, for example, has an eye for the slightly out-of-kilter scene). I think it is a fair question to ask if we see an image which seems to lack the above. Now one must be careful, because there is a whole body of imagery which looks very commonplace, such as Steven Shore's large format work, or perhaps Robert Adams's, which appears to violate the principle. Still, if one doesn't understand why an image was made, other than to simply document "I was there," the question is legitimate.

Then Arkasha expands on the thought, pointing out that sometimes an image is made simply because one finds the light beautiful, or the appearance of the sky. If all of these elements are deemed lacking, one can critique the image. Whether or not others agree with the critique is a separate issue, but that is exactly why we have these discussions, and speaking for myself, exactly what I am looking for when I post images. (I was at my monthly New Jersey Photographer's Forum meeting last night, and came back with a whole bunch of notes about improvements I could make to the images I showed to the group.)

And I think it is fair to apply those questions to Corran's hiking images which were posted. Personally I find some of them interesting, such as #12052, where to use our "standards" from above, the lighting makes the image work, the almost perpendicular split between the unlit side of the scene, and the lit side. Some of the others seem, to me (and I stress the "to me") to be large format snapshots. Isn't that the point of critique?

[Tin Can]

The only rule on this and other image threads is stated clearly at the beginning,

"Critiques should only be offered if requested by the original poster."

[Peter Lewin]

Good point. I've thought about adding a line in my signature saying "all comments and critique welcome" or something to that effect. When I was auditing photo classes the critique part was always my favorite class times. It's nice to know when people like, or dislike, a certain photograph, and why.
Randy: The large red bold letters don't apply in this case. Or to be more precise, Corran said he was interested in critiques.

[Tin Can]

Yes they do. Many ignore the Mod's admonition.

Bryan did not ask for critique in his first post. http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?44249-Large-Format-Landscapes&p=1350746&viewfull=1#post1350746

[Corran]

Let me first say that I do not bear Arkasha any ill will. My original response pages back was a bit sarcastic because I felt the response was somewhat curt. After reflection there was the issue of a possible language/culture barrier (though I don't want to assume - there are plenty of multilingual posters here). Regardless, I will readily admit the image is not strong. Some folks may only post their absolute best work here but I think posting less strong work (and gauging reaction) can be a helpful learning tool. I know I often pre-visualize a scene but don't necessarily achieve that vision. This is a weakness of mine and I continue to work on it. His second post is certainly much more constructive though.

Also, I think the topic engendered some good discussion, which is positive. Also, I apologize for not remembering to post that I always welcome thoughtful comments and critiques.

Moving on - thanks also for your comments, Peter and Marty, on the previous images. The interesting thing about the mountains is you can have wonderful light at one part of the trail and then crest a hill and the light is gone and it's just drab flat light. Both the back-lit forest scene and the top of the mountain scene was around the same part of the day. Looking at the previous image again, I think I will try a square crop, placing the clear line of light and dark dead center. I think that might give it more visual interest.

[baro-nite]

I certainly wasted some film during this session, forgetting to change my meter to the correct ISO for the first two shots. For that and other reasons, I've decided it's not a good idea for me to work with more than one camera at a time (I had a 645 camera with me as well). Fortunately I noticed the error and got an exposure I'm happy with:

Thanks for the compliment. I thinks it's just the edge of a weather front. The clouds taking over from the south. You can see that anywhere from time to time. As far as any technique with filters...I am still learning. Sometimes, it works out😊

[Arkasha_from_Russia]

Let me first say that I do not bear Arkasha any ill will.
it is very good. The language barrier is really the place to be. I am writing relying on Google translator.

We have a Russian-language forum is the norm was to criticize the work. For a simple putting some photos are created facebook and photo sites.
I'm glad I was able to cause such a reaction from the local members of the forum. Recent pages have only positive comments uncritically, we called it a "honey plant". :)

[h2oman]

I suppose that some of what went on was cultural. When I was in graduate school in mathematics, one of our professors was a Russian who had been a graduate student in Russia when many of their great mathematicians were in their prime. He said that any time one of them gave a talk it was a raucous affair, with challenges from the audience being common.

[sdzsdz]

Very nice pictures here in so many ways! I like this forum a lot.

Hi Yuriy,

Nice shot, but I'm not pleased with the composition... heavy on both sides and empty in the middle.

I would move the camera back or use a shorter focal-length lens to bring the church in toward the center.

Just a suggestion.

- Leigh

[HiHoSilver]

Orgraph, I like your landscapes alot. The shot of Kiev makes me want to see more of the architecture as well as the landscape. Both are lovely. You're fortunate to have such rich subjects to shoot.

How did you focus?

Center filter?

[Corran]

The Sinar has a GG back (that is actually usable unlike my Travelwide), and a focus helical. I didn't really need to focus, it's pretty easy to estimate the distance and set at the appropriate focus setting, but I did just to be sure and focused on the tree trunk. Still used a light jacket for a dark cloth to compose.

No CF, I don't have one for 49mm-sized filters. This is the first time I shot the 65mm on 4x5. Somehow or another I have 3 here now. I was dubious of the quality of the lens, especially with regard to flare being single coated (or no coated, not sure), but it performed pretty well. Not as perfect in the corners as my 58mm XL of course.

I never looked at the corners, they are supposed to be dark/vignette, aren't they?

Good work with the man in the water shot also.

[Corran]

I suppose that's a matter of artistic choice. The 65mm just barely covers 4x5, but fall-off was better (less) than i expected. On 6x9 this lens is phenomenal and has plenty of room for movements. Half the size/weight of my 58XL...I was traveling and had limited camera room.

Thanks!

Thank you so much, it is really appreciated!

In this shot Velvia 50 shines with all its power. It was a rainy and cloudy day. But despite of the weather in a forest like this there is a lot of subtle colour and a very gentle light. And exactly that is the situation when Velvia makes the difference. I´m 100% sure that my digital Nikon would have delivered only rubbish. But the colour rendition of a slide like this is superb and I love it.

By the way, my fmily name comes from Schlesien (Poland/Tschechien). My family came to germany arround 1908.

Sebastian, another nice image! If you wouldn't mind a very minor comment... If this were my image, I'd crop the bottom edge in about 1/4" pushing the lower-left rock into the corner of the frame. To me, those two rocks appear to be "floating" into the frame there and, my guess, is that having it firmly in the corner would anchor both. Try it and see what you think.

[hiend61]

Well done. Superb composition and great colors.

Maybe there is something to this new-fangled colour photography after all 8-)

[sdzsdz]

Hi Graham! The sad thing is: Slide film is dying actually, exspecially in large Format sizes. We don't have to worry about B+W at all. It will be awailable for the next 50 years and more. But if slide film gets lost, a complete unique medium will vanish . In my opinion, that is a very sad thing. So everybody who tries and buys some slidefilm can probably save it.

It's been a while since I last released any photos.
This one was taken 11 months ago in AlGan at the northern tip of Saudi Arabia. It was a cold night and we found refuge in small area surrounded by mountains from all sides except a small opening in southern side that was barely enough for my car. A fine shelter from the cold Northern wind.
At midnight the clouds gathered and it started raining lightly. At sunrise clouds started to part and sun stroke the mountain across the valley. This is the view outside our mansion!

Hi Algarzal,

The Ektar film just shines in this type of light. I would go closer to the mountain, to get a more detailed view, but that's ok, I like the view,

Very first 5x4 film shot:

http://i.imgur.com/xPfjhy6.jpg

Ilford FP4 in Rodinal 1+25, Fujinon W 180mm at f/45, 4 second exposure.

Sorry for the terrible 'scan'. Otherwise I am pretty happy how it turned out for a first try.

[Dan O'Farrell]

This is a great picture! Not as sharp as we'd like, but it has beautiful tones, is well composed, and the timing of waterflow suits the scene perfectly.
Where was it taken?

[locutus]

The actual negative is sharp under a 8x loupe, it was 'scanned' by taking a picture of it on top of my laptop screen (cheap light table) i did a blur filter on it to cancel out the screen door effect a bit from the screen pixels showing through.

It was taken on Suomenlinna an old sea fortress of the coast of Helsinki. I did not have a ND filter with me so i shot at f/45 to get a longer exposure time and the resulting waterflow came out well.

Comments always welcomed.

[RSalles]

Mr Portr8,

As you have asked for comments, here are some.
Pay attention to the composition of your frame. In this forum, the main direction of photographic subjects are to the "long gray scale of gray shades", light rendering and etc. but very often paying little attention for "what I can make to avoid ruining my shots with basic composition attention".
Sometimes there is great light, subject, motivation, and the result has few interest because of bypassing basic frame checking.
At the edge of the frame - bottom and left - there are important information that's almost "escaping" from the frame. And if it's not THAT important information, why is it there? Avoid parallel components of the shot running along the frame edges - in this case tree and ground - avoid also geometric forms as triangles, semi-circles, etc., even not being the case in this shot, but as pure reminder for the future.
Exposure and devel. seems quite good, subject very appealing, but the elements in the frame have to have space to "breath". When we shorten the distance between scene and the camera trying to reinforce the main interest of the shot it's a good idea to not discard important parts of the subject itself, as our main idea from the start was to discard only distracting compositional elements that are not essential to the scene. And, if it's not essential, doesn't deserves the chance to make part of it - if something can or can not be in the frame with equal results it has to be discarded, no mercy.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Renato

I use colour as well as B&W film so a different view of Tryfan, Snowdonia, north Wales around 30 minutes earlier from a little pool adjacent to the lake where I camped. This was taken early morning mid-September and some of the grasses by the pool, which was in the shade, were starting to turn red in time for autumn. I don't have an obsession with Tryfan, but the four times I have wild-camped, I have always ended up with an image of this mountain!

Woke up at 5:30 this morning to go shoot some Provia 100F at sunrise. The forecast was partly cloudy. To my surprise, they were way off and there was some crazy intense fog. So, I drove around awhile until I found a cool area to set up and shoot.

It took an hour or so for the fog to move just right to take the exposure I wanted. It was the first time I felt like I really "waited" and made the photo I envisioned.

Bob

[Maris Rusis]

Thanks Bob. Infrared film is often a quick 'n easy trick for visual novelty at the expense of genuine expression but I do try to work past that. Sometimes things come together well. Because infrared can't be visualised actual print tones can be as "non-literal" as the maker pleases. When I hold the original picture next to my computer monitor in ordinary room light the tonal match is quite good but the monitor image (23" monitor) is somewhat bigger.

H2oman, thanks for your kind words.
There is an interesting play between the upper third and the bottom. The final image is almost square, so about 20% was cropped from the original 4x5. The bottom content was not additive. However, making the crop seemed to pull everything together and create the 1/3 - 2/3 relationship you observed.

Impresive shot Sergio!

Woke up at 5:30 this morning to go shoot some Provia 100F at sunrise. The forecast was partly cloudy. To my surprise, they were way off and there was some crazy intense fog. So, I drove around awhile until I found a cool area to set up and shoot.

It took an hour or so for the fog to move just right to take the exposure I wanted. It was the first time I felt like I really "waited" and made the photo I envisioned.

Holden Richards, I always have difficulty composing when a scene has alot of entangled branches or underbrush. Your composition works well and I find it appealing - especially the water & reflections.
