Interesting photos. The pier gains an air of intimacy with the couple on it and the toilet paper...the usage is unusual and the black and white and texture contrasts brings it to life.
Hoping for more pics when you have the time (just heard your holidays are over).
Yea, I've been busy with work etc (photography takes quite a bit of time and also timing) but hope to get into collaboration using models- soon this year.Quote:

That's nice, a reflection of the red sky in water.

Beautiful pictures. The piece of ice in the first one shows what can be done with a bit of imagination. The other one with the reeds in the foreground and the trees in the background (barely visible in the mist!) is also brilliant.
Beautiful takes, NS!
Thanks, and sorry, I haven't had much energy to spare for my own photography, much less the analysis of others' works.Quote:

Of course, we have here lots of text too - on the outside, there's the plaque for 'Mafia parking only, all others will be towed', and on one hand, a ban on shooting, and on the other a warning that trespassers will be shot - and on the inside of the window, someone has written 'una fiesta!', and there's a declaration of love. Overall an interesting contrast of worlds, messages and emotions, separated by an invisible border.
I take all of my photos with a Nikon D7100, as raw files, and as I edit jpegs from them, I can choose among other things whether to make the image b&w (and whether to apply some filter altering the brightness of different colours when converted to monochrome), or not.Quote:

These shots of trees in the mist can be related to warm front passing over. I've seen that happen from my window.
Very probably so, it was very warm on that day.

The fruits of the birch tree are nicely caught by the light.

I like this one very much - the gray tones, the reflections, the framing with the man only partially in frame, the long exposure blurring superficial details, and that grainy look that reminds me of Georges Seurat's pointillist drawings (especially since the beach is a frequent subject in his works too).Quote:

Lovely! Pictures taken without the sky give a finer impression of the forest.
Thanks. Yes, framing is (almost) everything.

Wow the last one is so much like Steichen's The Pond-MoonlightQuote:

And while there is a kind of haziness to both images, it is markedly different as the Steichen (below) has it mostly because of petroleum jelly spread on the lens or some other such trick, while in my image it's the mist and clouds creating that haze, and also because of the vibrant colours and strong contrast from dark browns to pure white, the moods of the images are rather different. Compositional differences such as the lack of land in the foreground, wider landscape aspect ratio of the image, lack of vertical lines created by trees are also quite numerous. It's not that I'm not flattered by the comparison - Steichen is one of my favourite photographers - but I would just like to understand why it reminded you of the Steichen photograph. I know I was thinking of how JMW Turner (detail from The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth to be broken up, 1839 below) could make the sun in his paintings look so captivating, and so bright that it almost burns the viewers' eyes.Quote:

It reminded me for the primary reason is that I just watched a documentary on Steichen and your photo has in it a body of water, trees and light- that's it. A mere reminder but I agree on all of what you said.Quote:
