i quite like that, got something about it hasnt it..if they had made the pipe with the flick the other way it would work even better though i think

Definitely looks like 'waste' to me

Good pic though

Very good picture in all regards.

It's a personal thing but I fail to see the appeal of monochrome in most of the images I see presented that way. Just a taste thing but maybe 5 out of a hundred i can see it was the right choice - mostly it looks like it was done because it can be. This is good but not one of my five

its a fair point, but for me i use monochrome when i feel the image as a composition is stronger than the colours, giving less to focus on making a stronger image in my opinion. doesnt always work though!!

It's a very nice shot Noah. I love the great feeling of depth you've captured, and you've got a good range of tones and textures in the dark and mid tones, which I think suits the B&W treatment. It's just a pity that the highlights are blown in the water and in a couple of places in the sky, and once they're blown to that degree, you can't get them back. A grad filter or combining two shots in Photoshop would have helped you cope with the luminence range in this shot.

I'd like to see this shot done again from scratch, I think it would be well worth the effort.

Is it lens distortion causing the slopey horizon?

noah · 03-10-2005, 14:57

it might be slighty slopey, ive had problems getting used to the d70 and getting straight horizons! but also it is a curved bay so that may be it.

i see what you mean about combining 2 pics, its only just out the front of my flat so i'll go take one again later in the week and see if i can get the exposures right. i cant afford grad filters yet as im after a nice tripod, but i'll deinately invest in the furture!
