One more, taken on Tri-X 400 this time with the SMC 135mm f/2.5.

There is more in the original, I could give it some more space.


Again there is more in the original but I cropped it tight on left and top to get rid of a burnt out window in the background.[/quote]Thank you!

In 2 I certainly did focus on the face of the statue. Not certain that was the right choice in hindsight. In one the focus is on the picture as I thought the painting would look odd out of focus compared to the people. I was already at ISO 1600. I suppose I could have upped the aperture to f/4 or f/5.6 and hoped the SR worked. I only had one chance at the shot.

Is this better?

This post would be better in the For Sale thread, and some prices would help too.

Washington Square on a cold day




23rd Feb 2010. K20D, DA* 50-135mm @ 103mm, 1/320th sec at f/8, ISO 100.

The only PP I did was a little cropping and altering the levels and contrast. The scans were as flat as a pancake.

No. 3 is the concrete roof beams with bits of roofing felt hanging through.

Thanks for your comments. K.

All shot in a derelict factory, Isaccea, Romania, Easter 2009. Pentax LX with either a SMC-A 50mm f/1.4 or a SMC 135mm f/2.5.

"Median gross annual earnings for full-time employees (including those whose pay was affected by absence) were £25,800..."

Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings 2009, p. 1.

They are all shot at f/2.8 so the DoF is rather shallow. I fear they are all a bit soft though, I am not very good a grabbing quick shots.

Many moons ago I saw an artefact in a museum display that I was very interested in so I carefully took a photograph of it using all the tips (except hairspray!) mentioned above. When I finished a gentleman asked me why I was so interested so I explained. As I walked away he pushed his disk camera [that dates this story) up against the glass and took a photo... with the built in flash! Somehow I think he might have been disappointed when his photos came back.

I can recommend Mattmatic's ebook for flash. Excellent guide and brilliant value.
