I gotta ask. what do you go on for colour adjustments? I mean the originals look pretty darn good, do you have some kind of baseline or histogram or something to go off? I do see the difference but there must be a super critical eye to be able to look at what you first posted and think you need to improve it... impressed at the tenacity of that skill, in any case.

Just calibrated monitors, and I use the Photoshop eyedropper on every evenly-toned area to get a sense of if there's any subtle color casts my brain is fooling me out of seeing. I also try to compare with other photos taken in similar light to make sure my baseline isn't drifting.

Whalen, I am not really sure why, but I like it.

[Whalen]

Not sure why, but, thanks. !

No, in all seriousness though, thanks. I understand it's not a "normal" image. I try to avoid overly obvious imagery/subjects.

[scheinfluger_77]

Not sure why, but, thanks. !

No, in all seriousness though, thanks. I understand it's not a "normal" image. I try to avoid overly obvious imagery/subjects.

Well I can tell you why I like it. For one thing the leaves on the forest floor stretch all the way out up the left side, tying foreground and background together. The trees and the sewer access are nice accents. This is the kind of textural thing I love about LF.

[Whalen]

I enjoy it because it feels quiet when I look at it. The small tree/shrub to the right has slight movement - and the red filter really blows out the dead leaves, which easily are given some life back with the toning. It's hard to examine, for me, because the posted image is so small, but it's printed at 22"x27.5", where it really comes into its own and the leaves and texture of the drain make it obvious it's from a large format negative. I appreciate the above-posted comment Steve.

[Keith Fleming]

Whalen,

I like it because it depicts the ultimate urban edge. Behind the viewer is the city--and a step beyond the manhole cover is the forest. To the right of the manhole is a faint path leading into the trees, and it would lead me into a quieter, more peaceful place. The manhole cover becomes an escape hatch.

Keith

[Whalen]

The location is a rather odd setting. The path is behind an old park near the river. The manhole is near a well in the middle of the woods (which was the original reason for photographing at the site). It's half sketchy, half intriguing.

The forums software resizes uploaded images to fit your screen.

[barnacle]

Whalen - the forum resizes direct links - IMG tags. If your image is hosted on a web-visible server, you can click on the 'from URL' tab on the image uploader and make sure you uncheck the "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" box. Otherwise it uploads and resizes to a small image.

Thanks Isaac! This was in Florida -- on the Gulf Coast near St Petersburg. The Gulf Coast is very interesting for urban landscapes... you would love it

The Gulf Coast is very interesting for urban landscapes... you would love it

+1 to that. I had a lot of fun photographing there on my few short trips. I've spent more time on the east coast of Florida over the years - also very interesting and rewarding for urban landscapes. Wish I could go more often.

Nice! I like the way all the lines come into play here.

Thanks! I put a lot of thought into the corners & edges when I compose an image.

[tgtaylor]

Thanks David.

I'm not entirely satisfied with this print as the sky is not an even blue notwithstanding that the density of the negative there is even. This prompted me to initially doing the bulk of the exposure in the shade and then finishing it off in the sun. A print done today using that method worked:

Yep, 802 High Street, Thornbury. The people who owned the garage were a husband and wife team who ran a removal business for many years. In the 90s I lived off Dundas Street, which is the next street up from that corner. Small world.

There is something hauntingly compelling about this image, I keep coming back to it. Is it storm damage? Did someone run out of money before finishing? It's so forlorn looking.

[Alan Curtis]

Steve, as a frequent visitor to the Florida Keys I can give you a little history about this house. Firstly, John was quite fortunate to get this good of a photograph especially LF. Most people, if they are lucky crawl through the mangroves or come in by boat shoot a quick digital photo and move on. There are lots of NO Trespassing signs and the sheriffs office checks there often to keep people away. For John to set up a LF camera is quite an accomplishment. The house was started about 15 years ago and there are a number of theories as to what happened. One is the owner ran in to financial problems and just stopped. Part of the problems appear to be code violations. The Keys have very strict hurricane building codes and it is suspected that violations stopped construction. The county is rumored to tear it down. If you google unfinished house on Craig's Key you can get more information. It's on the market if you have a spare 3.5 Million laying around.

[scheinfluger_77]

Oof! Tough sell if it's not up to code.

I just looked at Christie's real estate site showing the house. The first thing that comes to mind is traffic noise. The second one is what do you do for water and sewer?

Two "suburban landscapes" (Madison and Chatham NJ) and one "small urban landscape" (Hudson NY, not sure if Hudson is a small city or a large town). All are negative scans from HP5+ negatives developed in PMK.

The line-up of mail trucks caught my eye on Labor Day, I had never seen the entire fleet parked idle at once. I used my 80mm, planning to crop out the foreground when I composed the image.

The back of the Iron Horse Machine Shop in Madison, NJ interested me both because of the textures in the cement, and because from the back it is close to being a cube, the way the pre-K students in my wife's class would draw a building.

And lastly, Hudson Transport in the river town of Hudson NY caught my eye because of the juxtaposition of the Transport sign and the bicycle (I assume they own some cars?).

Hi, urban landscape is not my thing but gave it a try last week - rather modest gear: Crown Graphic + Ektar 127/4.7, 4x5 Foma 100, Rodinal 1+50, 9m at 20 degrees. You might find the subject interesting though, at least to compensate for the poor technical quality. This is am unfinished building in Bucharest dating from the communist era - construction started in 1986 and was inaugurated at Ceausescu's request in 1989 although only the facade was finished. It was supposed to be used as a history of socialism museum. The thing is huge - i took the pictures from more than 50 metres away and still could only get one third in the frame. So what you're seeing is 1/3 of one of the 4 edges of a building which is shaped as a square.

Close -- Melbourne. I'm glad the Australiana is coming through!

It's funny how there is a sort or 'dialect' about places. The flora, architectural combinations, street design, even the light, can be distinctive. I doubt that I'll ever make it to Australia, so I appreciate seeing something other than the tourist office material!

Thanks Renato! This spot is interesting because of the wood decking, and the view of the cables which for me are a big part of the interest in this bridge. The Manhattan Bridge and Empire State Building are also interesting to me from this location.

The picture was made yesterday (Saturday) at 12:00. The East River in the background had a few police boats moving back and forth, and also a barge came through a few minutes after I took the photo. As you noticed, not much traffic. Had it been during the week there would likely have been more water traffic.

The 5 deg C and windy weather kept the number of tourists to a minimum as well.

[DennisD]

Very nice image.
Great location, composition and camera position.
Yesterday was quite overcast, but the clouds create quite a mood.

I also like the image with a bit of the deck cropped from the bottom of the frame.
Seems to add more importance to the bridge and the arch of its span while the deck boards still lead you right to the bridge.

[chassis]

Thanks Dennis. I agree more emphasis on the bridge and less foreground would be good. New York City is a target rich environment for making photos!

I've spent the past few months - amid university exams and whatnot - fixing this Technika III up. It's not in the most gorgeous cosmetic condition, but clearly it's functioning well, which I'm very happy about!

These were shot on Delta 100 (XTOL), with a Technika III and 150/4.5 Heliar. Even opened up all the way, this lens has amazing resolving power!

Nice ones Bipin. The swings & tilts are very satisfying.

Rediscovered this print last night while looking for another:

It was shot on a 4x5 camera with a 250mm Imagon lens and printed on Ilford's Art 300. I guess that San Francisco Before the Salesforce and Millennium Towers Buildings would make a good title.

39 Whitehall Street
New York City
ca. 1974
Camera: 4x5, 150mm Symmar
Tri-X, Normal, HC-110
X-5 Scan, Post Process PS


Some may remember the history surrounding this building or may have actually been there...

39 Whitehall Street was the US Army's infamous induction center where draft age young men were ordered to report for their pre-induction physical examinations.

Arlo Guthrie's song, “Alice’s Restaurant” (1967), described Whitehall St as the place "where you got injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected.”

The building became an iconic representation of Viet Nam Era resistance to inscription in the face of a questionable war. Numerous protests erupted at 39 Whitehall St. and there were several bombings in the volatile 1960s

By the late 1970s, the 100 year old building, originally built for the Department of the Army, fell into developers' hands. A modern glass facade replaced the original granite face. The building was enlarged and converted into an apartment complex with a street level health club.

[Peter Lewin]

Dennis: Very nicely done, and made even more interesting by the background information.

[Sazerac]

Great composition! I like the elevated perspective.

[RedGreenBlue]

Great composition! I like the elevated perspective.

Yes, and the shading on the buildings. I'm a fan of street photography. I like how the people were captured at a good moment. Also, the man at the phone booth grounds the soaring image.

[Pali K]

Dennis, that is a great image. I love the shadows and the darker building in front of the lighter building in the back.

Pali

[Rich14]

Very nice.

I know the verticals are straight, but they look like they're diverging toward the top of the buildings. I guess we are so used to seeing them converge in most photographs.

Often, I see the same effect of diverging verticals just looking at tall buildings.

Would love to see more of your work, eggsovereasy.

Thanks, Peter.
I hoped the background info would help for those who remember the era as well as for those too young to know.



Great composition! I like the elevated perspective.

Thanks, Sazerac.
As I recall, a low concrete wall behind the sidewalk served as a platform for my tripod and me.

Thanks, RedGreenBlue -
All good fortune ! When I made my second exposure, the passers by had vanished, the phone call was over.
I just noticed and enjoyed your posts on the previous page - especially the first Los Feliz theater. Nice possibilities there.



Dennis, that is a great image. I love the shadows and the darker building in front of the lighter building in the back.

Thanks, Pali.
The shadows and the contrasts were the features that really caught my eye.
The afternoon light was truly perfect for this image.

Rich

Thanks, Rich. I agree about the seemingly divergent verticals. However, it's really an illusion. I noticed this when working on the image.
Taking the image into P'shop and placing a guide on the outer edges or vertical lines of any of the buildings, they prove to line up perfectly. The right edge of Army building appears the most divergent. However, it lines up quite nicely with the guide despite the appearance.

Thanks again to all for your thoughtful comments. Most appreciated.

[krishmandal]

Dennis, wonderful image. Truly, I love the tonalities. Just one question.
What is that man in the foreground doing, standing there near those strange structures? The signs say "phone" but those must be the largest phones I've ever seen. Must be a 70s thing. <nudge, nudge, wink, wink> :rolleyes:

Krish, only because you asked....

That man is talking on the phone. The Bell Telephone Co. used to put telephones on the street inside a big box as a convenience. Then, in the 80's and 90's they figured out it was possible to shrink the phones and make them wireless by irradiating them.

The big boxes were no longer necessary because the phones became smaller and smaller so people could carry the phones in their pockets. - Yes, it's really true. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I'll always say "whitehall" the way the recording says it on the R train. I would get off at City Hall for school. That car on the corner, is like my dad's car. 1976 Buick Century. Kojak had one like it as well.

This is fantastic Dennis! It's amazing on a purely visual level, but also contains so many intriguing human elements. I want to know the story of the man on the phone, but every figure (the woman, the man in uniform, the guy in the trench coat at right) is interesting in their own way. Your timing here was spot-on!

Really nice work Dennis, and Sazerac - I particularly like that one of the construction crane. It's movement is very unsettling and unexpected - just lovely!

I appreciate that you always "go deep" when looking at images.
You certainly identified a different dimension of interest.

I usually take two exposures - in my second, the phone call was over and not a single soul in sight.

[Peter Lewin]

Terry276: Was the lean of the water tank and chimney intentional, or was the camera back not vertical? Normally I wouldn't comment, but in your image, since they and the telephone pole tilting in the opposite direction are the dominant verticals, they immediately caught my eye.

[Terry276]

Peter,
The telephone pole was tilted, which I liked, so I futzed with the back to see if I could tilt the smokestack for a convergence effect. It came out a bit stronger than I expected, but when I scanned it I liked it well enough.

Gamma is still in business and does excellent work as is apparent in the above. Their printer will work with you to arrive at what you want.
