I printed this yesterday to fill an A4 and the finished print looks lovely but the first print didn't and when I checked the settings they'd changed. Why do settings change all by themselves? I suppose there's been an update and that's why. So, that cost me a sheet of photo paper and the ink, I suppose about £1-£2, and reminded me that I should never take settings for granted and should always check them before printing.
A7 and Nikon 50mm f2.
I like this but Mrw WW isn't so sure and say "It looks like a ghost picture." Oh well.
I'd be concerned if she was my daughter,having said that i guess its the norm thesedays
I was there too, nothing wrong with her
yes looking closer the lighting makeup does give that look
Fancied something wider so a Samyang 24mm is on its way.Interested to see what the little thing can do.
I thought there was something there when I took the picture but the light was poor, mostly just a white/grey/no sky dead light day but with the harsh glare you can get when the sun is low in the sky. The color picture is as a result disappointing for me as I have a gazillion pictures of my local area taken on days like that. In mono I think it's got a bit more to it, but not too much contrast which I think would change the dreamy tone and I like it as does everyone here apart from Mrs WW who seems to think it's creepy. So there!
She's looking at some little crab apples but if you don't know that you might wonder what's happening and I like that. The tree sticking out is there but I don't think it's too much of a problem and as a part of the near distance with the fences it adds to a feeling of overgrown enclosure with unkept nature and scruffy rundown urban encroaching on each other, which is what I was going for. It'll be framed and I like it but as a colour picture it's miserable unless you're from somewhere nearer the equator and have never seen northern light like this before.
Happened to be one of those random moments I caught as it happened.

For you Woof, there's something there that engages and envokes a memory, which is fine. I like the general composition, but I personally don't think a mono conversion adds to it. For me, I love mono done well. And by that I mean true blacks and highlight, almost always high contrast. I generally select images on this basis. Did a family shoot over the weekend, as the granddaughter wanted some memories of her grandmother, who is suffering dementia. The colour in the autumn trumps everything in my book and so made the most of that, however, this shot had to have a mono conversion in my book. She's only had a handful of images so far, but this one brought a tear to her eye, and that's without seeing some I have of her grandmother = job done
Superb set Jon, I love them.
