| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #1 June 23rd 2005 01:12:06 | Hi Dave, welcome. I don't see anything that needs improvement myself. It's a well done shot. My complaint would be with whomever decided to put the statue right there. ;o) Seems to me that the superposition of the statue in front of the church is just busy. But you've shot it well. | |||||||||||||||||||||

What do you think? I agree with Bob regarding the statue - just don't think of photographers do they!:) David. |

| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #3 June 24th 2005 10:43:47 | I like this crop. The portrait orientation seems to go with the 'vertical-ness' of the building. Cropping a bit off the bottom wouldn't hurt (IMO). As for shooting this scene. I see two other ways to go. First, concentrate on the statue and use a much shallower DOF to let the building blur out. Second, get behind the statue and use a really wide lens. You might have to use a 'tilt and shift' or a perspective shift when editing. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Dave Mayer (Kane) Msg: #4 June 24th 2005 10:45:16 | Thanks - like I just posted a moment ago, cropping hasn't been much on my radar - gotta re-think that one. There was no way to get any higher at this location - only a coffee shop with a tarp roof as I recall. And no chance to get in closer, the gates are closed at this park. The clouds were a result of a massive storm system moving through (mid-May 2004). | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #5 June 24th 2005 10:56:20 | Higher might have worked well. If you were shooting this one "with a bigger budget" I can see where a very tall ladder, maybe a cherry picker, would have changed the angle and made it work nicely. It's a good picture. It's just fun to think about how it could be done differently. | |||||||||||||||||||||
