DanThank you Darr
Thanks Jurgen, yes couple of patches of magenta and I did think of removing it, but it actually looked like this. The colours are very truthful so I kept it. I think the Leaf 5 is producing good colours right out of the box.
Yes I have. However, it is more logistics and planning than one might think at first.Dan
Have you ever thought of running a workshop for Landscape and/or Architecture in Europe ?
Perhaps in Cooperation with ALPA ? ? ?
Dan - you should maybe check out the annual Gulf Photo Plus that is held in Dubai. I'd sign up like a shot if you paid us a visit out hereYes I have. However, it is more logistics and planning than one might think at first.
I gave around 10 workshops in the late nineties, some good 12-14 years ago. This was in my backyard in the Andalusian mountains and I was using Fuji GX 680 III and shooting Velvia. As far as I could tell, those workshops were successful in that my Land Rover Defender with nine seats were all taken every time except on a few daily excursions.
That was then and now is now. My base is nowadays Sweden and even if a have access to a townhouse in Marbella, I do not have a Defender and after all these years my 'usual' mountainroads are either closed, have changed or have limited access.
So, already here it is not so easy to organize a day trip. And ofcourse, not to forget that after all these years I am very rusty in teaching. But I did like it a lot!
For me personally the ideal situation would be to assist an existing and professionally organized workshop, where not the whole project is on my shoulders alone.
That would be fun and exciting
Much appreciated Matt. Thanks so much,Bob,
First, I have little training and less professional photographic experience. Nevertheless, I will try to answer. I react very differently to the two versions (I'm combing both 2a and 2b - they function the same for me). The second one is easier to describe. The arch and bench are both clear elements, and my eye bounces between them. It's pleasant. The first version has less clear focus, but it has these magical woods. My eye drifts in wonder. Every so often it hits a bench. What's that doing here? It's a bit disturbing.
Now as a beginner, I'd be happy with creating the effect in version 2. Version 1, if that were my intent, I'd be very pleased indeed! But if I wanted the bench to be a more prominent piece mirroring the arch, I'd have more mixed feelings.
An art teacher I knew once lamented that her students were always creating magic and then promptly painting over it in an attempt to get it "right". Perhaps the magic in version 1 should be left as is.
Best,
Matt
Gerald: Thanks again for your confidence. I have now had half a dozen requests on email for workshops - maybe that's a sign to really try and make it happenDan - you should maybe check out the annual Gulf Photo Plus that is held in Dubai. I'd sign up like a shot if you paid us a visit out here
You could trade it in for a D800!Yep. Now I just have to DO something with it.
