Fun Pictures with Nikon. Alley and Street Scape images from Shangahi. According to Jorgen, ... "somewhere in there, people live their lives." Thank you for looking. Leica 77 :)

Wonderful stuff L77! I especially like the shot of the two women. Very nice sense of place and natural expressions. This site is great for letting me see parts of the world I may never get to in person.

Best,
Tim

Hello TRSmith,
Many thanks for your kind feedback! Likewise, I get to see images from around the world that I may never get to visit. It is a lot of fun seeing so many images from Asia, Europe, North America, etc. etc. etc. Best regards, Leica 77 :)

Only now, I realise that I haven't really been through the photos from Macau until now. Here's another one, the Grand Lisboa, a building that never stops fascinating. I'm not even sure if it's pretty or ugly, it's just completely off... :p

Tried my hand at color .... very difficult ... I have a new found appreciation for
the processing that goes into these images here in this thread.... the black and white ... usually I just thrash the file ... trying to get a really nice black and white conversion is very challenging .....

I think these were shot with the 50 1/4 G ... The previous shot of the army boy I used the AF Nikkor 24 - 120 mm 3.5
which seems to work just fine on the D700 ...

Number two is interesting. Your b&w conversion gives an excellent feeling of three dimensions.

I can't seem to get this building off my mind, so here's yet another view :)

Hello Jorgen,
This "Narrow View" with the Grand Lisboa in the far background really captures the old/new ambience of Macau. These narrow streets in Macau are fabulous with Portuguese street names, Chinese antique stores, tea houses, modern boutiques, etc. etc. etc. Best regards, Leica 77 :)

Glad you like the style Helen ; )
Just trying to have more control and propose for the high contrast in the images .. and not doing it just for the sake of effect if you get my meaning ... contrast for the sake of contrast ...I love this style and hope to perfect it in the Darkroom and in my digital prints ... thanks for your constant encouragement ....
Jorgen ... I was surprised at your comment about the second photograph ... I really put some effort into this one using the history brush and selective sharpening and softening of the edges in the image combined with different opacities levels .... any way your comment made my day... as I was trying to give the image some depth ... Thanks for your comments

Having a blast shooting weddings with the D3X. Nice color. Great skin tones.

ISO 500, 24-70 @ 24/5, fill with a SB900.
