neilvan Offline Image Upload: Off Dry Docked Is it really that bad? Jul 21, 2008 at 01:36 AM

skipc Offline Image Upload: On Dry Docked let's say un-interesting. the high sun angle, featureless sky, eye level camera angle, and too tight frame (crop?) pulled the life from it. shot wider, the lines may have added some context. what was your vision before releasing the shutter? best...skip Jul 21, 2008 at 02:36 AM

LKeithR Offline Image Upload: On Dry Docked I'm just a neophyte at B&W conversion myself so you can take this for what it's worth. I tend to agree about the "dull" nature of the picture. In my mind a good B&W needs to have either a really strong subject, a compelling composition or some "pop" to the lighting. Of course a combination of all three will work as well. On this shot my preference would be to go tighter, rather than wider. At the very least I'd crop out the sky. And try bumping up the contrast and pulling down the shadows a wee bit to make the shot a bit more intense. Keep shooting... Jul 21, 2008 at 07:58 AM

neilvan Offline Image Upload: Off Dry Docked I appreciate the feedback, thank you. It's funny, sometimes if you look at a photograph you've long enough it looks good (even when it's lacking... ). Thanks again... Jul 21, 2008 at 08:13 AM

Well, could have been better How about stepping back 3-4 feet, moving to camera left probably 6 feet, sitting down and shooting with the camera propped on your knees. I see a boat in a sea of grass. Not sure what else was there, but that was my first instinct. Hope this is positive and helpful. Robert Jul 21, 2008 at 02:14 PM

The idea is to offer help here well taken, kind of like Lakeside, Ohio. Suffleboard world championship courts. Interesting way to spend time with the family. skip is one of my mentors ...

eric kim Offline Image Upload: Off Dry Docked Image is also a little uninteresting to me, but a bump in contrast would help this image a ton. Jul 25, 2008 at 10:55 PM

I will delete the pictures, they were posted in another thread, I did not post them twice. Not sure what happened but sorry for any confusion. Aug 04, 2008 at 07:11 PM
