Corlan: Nice detail, selective focus, and composition. :salute:

Corlan: +1. :salute: Nice experiment. What's the horizontal surface?

Thanks Matt

The horizontal surface is actually... vertical . It's a old, white painted door. The key is actually hanging from the keyring, main key attached to the door lock.


Nice seagulls. Like the first one, quite smooth and the window like, rectangular frames in the backround make an interesting composition.

Corlan: Thanks. That seagull was a poser. I look at your photo and i can't make it a vertical surface in my mind's eye. The light and shadow give it topography and the angled lines create a vector and an implied vanishing point (at first glance, obviously not correct). Minimalist, but complicated perceptually.

Cheers, Matt

(...) Steen: Beautiful yellow. Is this the plant that was in your earlier landscapes? (...)

Yes, from the same type of yellow fields. I believe the plant is called Oil Seed Rape in english ?

Here's another shot

This one's very nice too, Steen.
Many different angles you're using in this series, each one with an appropriate effect. Like the last one a lot.

(btw the foregroung makes me think of... well, you know)

Not at all, what i meant was that the left side with a 45° angle was reminiscent of the field (oilseed rape? colza?) shot i posted some time ago, after your own yellow field...

 

[Corlan F.]

Couple of days ago, after a session for some commercial shots in the garden... we had a nice light.

Simple things... in black, and white:

D3X - ZF 50/2M

Ahh, now I get it, you mean our usual capture synchronization. No surprise here.
I guess we will be in sync until ... err ... until the day the sun rises in West ... or Jorgen parts with his Tamron 17-55

Btw: Lovely "Simple things ... in black, and white" !

That's a beauty. You've been rockin' the landscapes, Steen. Very nice.

That's quite the stunning image, Corlan. Beautiful light, and a wonderful b/w conversion.

Another of my 'odd' steam machines... This one is a two-foot gauge NG/G16 Garratt on the Welsh Highland Railway - built in Manchester for South Africa in 1958 and repatriated in the mid-1990s. This shot was taken a couple of days ago - we've had marvellous weather here in North Wales for the past couple of weeks.

Ha a shoot cancel on me this morning. I guess sick kids don't want portraits done. That gave me a chance to try some lighting out with poor Miso. All shots with the D700 105DC and SB600's

Multiple strobes

Some work with the snoot

 

[Jason Muelver]

And per Lloyd's request...

My thoughts exactly!! Love that one!!!

 

[Lloyd]

And per Lloyd's request...

Yup. That'll do... maybe a little vingette, eh?

Nice lighting tests. Good to have a willing model!

Another very cool machine... and a nice image. (I'm jealous of your weather!!)
