[QUOTE=JBelthoff;915694]Not sure of this is really a landscape but I would love your comments and suggestions.


Porch Chairs by JBelthoff, on Flickr

Thanks,


Add a cooler full of beer and some bratwurst and I'm there. Oh, I get the good chair!


It's a very nice photograph on it's own. I like it. I love all the wood and the wicker. I would fix the chair and get rid of the potted plant.

Since you are asking for suggestions, I would do a series of photographs with different people in the chairs or around the chairs. An old couple, a couple old men or women, you and your mate, your kids, whoever. Maybe grandparents in the chairs surrounded by grandkids.

I would get people to talk, play checkers, knit, sit with their fishing gear or whatever and then take a natural unposed looking shot. It could make for some great memories.

Here’s a Seattle neighborhood landscape.

If you ask me, birches, like these, don’t seem natural in rows – I like them wild and disorderly, like in the mountains. Still, these well-behaved city birches are pretty to walk by, summer and winter. I walk by them every day.

This shot is early spring w/ leaves just sprouting. Weeks later, the branches grow heavy, shiver loud in the wind (as birches will do), and soften the traffic noise.

Mart, great tonality and composition. To me this is an example of where Tri-X shines.

Thanks, Tri-x does work wonderfully in this situation.

Wow the old lens gives such a wonderful feel to this shot.

Wow the old lens gives such a wonderful feel to this shot.

Thanks. I agree about the look the lens creates. If my serial number sleuthing is accurate the lens dates from around 1920, plus or minus. It is really heavy (7 pounds) and strains the front standard of the 2D, but I love shooting with it.
