A nice example of how the visual importance of an element is not proportional to its % of picture area...

Larger please

An exercise in composition. Nice.

Apart from the aesthetic qualities, the definition is surprisingly good. Especially this being an MF negative.
Can you please provide some information: format, pinhole size and "focal" distance,...

Yes. and

the extension as you defined it is zero when focused at infinity. And the standard, rear flange, etc sit where they need sit.

This can't be right. Assume you are taking a picture of an object "near infinity", i.e. far enough that one should not even worry about correction. Extension as you define it

is close to zero;...

Started this reply-post to ask you about your exposure time, then saw it was indicated in the text (not in the "technical data"). Interesting 1/8 is just what I like to use, not freezing the drops...

Quite effective composition.

Perfect timing at dusk for the balance between natural and artificial sources of light. And the composition...
But what is that luminous bar across the street?

I like both. But for the first one I would have removed the branch at the lower right; IMO interferes with the reflections; the branches in the lower left corner not so much.
Congratulations.

What was John Wayne doing 1941-1945? Same question for James Stewart.

Indeed your first post is more dramatic. Definitely better IMO.
Anyway, congratulations for a very nice image.

Center foreground seems to be radiating light --or receiving a spot light. Nice effect. Was that the natural appearance, or was it a vision that you materialized by dodging that region under the...

Interesting composition!
<sarcasm> does not respect rule of thirds </sarcasm>

Nice idea, but if I may suggest:

The background, even if out-of focus, is sort of random and distracting
You might try to have something "interesting" (e.g. a tree, a house) reflected in the...

Interesting: no obvious strong composition, yet engaging in a mysterious way. Nice.

@ Jim Jones Thank you and glad you liked it. Concerning the light, I had a couple of Vivitar 283 strobes and a Sekonik 308B to check the balance. Half by chance the flash was not overdone. If I may...

So many nice pictures in this thread. Enjoyable and inspiring. I quote no names for fear of forgetting (and offending) one.

Nice light and composition

Auxiliaries. Kilovolts and hundreds of amps. Thoroughly vandalized, regrettably.

Thank you Martin. I'm always happy to learn about hydro power, that was well developed around here from the end of the 19th century.

More from Livet 2

Something to do with the regulation of the turbine.

The vandals...

"The Proper People" Interesting video. There also the plant is strongly degraded, whether from abandon or vandalism.
Actually I don't consider myself an urbexer. There are so many people doing the...

Do not use color film leader as ND. They leak IR. You can burn your retina before you know.

Same location : hydro power plant Livet 2. Mamiya C220. 135mm.


It has been purposefully vandalized. Since ~3months rehabilitation has started, to become a landmark. No more urbex, though.

2.35 ??

Do you mean 1.35? Even that sounds more like a target for zone VIII, but I would not argue very ong about that.

As for your previous posting in MacDonald forest (second pic) I admire the silvery highlights. What is, according to you, the main factors in achieving this look? Choice of film? Generous exposure...

Nice! What are these birds down there? Cormorans?

I like both. The first one has a clear structure at first sight. The second one requires a moment of attention, to appreciate both the silvery tones and the composition, which is more complex than...

John, thank you for the kind words. I like yours equally; similar but different.
As for "spare, uncluttered" (...) "Mine is maybe less staged and more natural to the location". You caught me! I...

The cloudlet makes the picture. Did you reserve it in advance through internet?

Beautiful. Well done.
