I'm a little puzzled, though, by your insistence on such wide apertures at the inevitable cost in depth of field. (You certainly had plenty of latitude in the shutter speed.) This is particularly noticeable in the first picture, where the manufacturer's nameplate could have been sharper. In the fourth picture I might have tried to show a little more of the fountain at which the girl was looking. But I guess it would have resulted in an awkwardly wide image.

This is particularly noticeable in the first picture, where the manufacturer's nameplate could have been sharper. What worried me most about the first picture was the perspective distortion caused by taking the photo from close range. I'm sure it's correctable in post processing and this would improve the image in my mind. In the fourth picture I might have tried to show a little more of the fountain at which the girl was looking.

This is particularly noticeable in the first picture, where the manufacturer's nameplate could have been sharper. I know what you mean. I am a sucker for short focal planes, and it sometimes gets ahead of me and I stick my aperture as large as possible and just adjust the shutter. I'm not that bothered with the nameplate myself, but I know lots of images I've taken where the short depth of field more or less ruined the shot. In the fourth picture I might have tried to show a little more of the fountain at which the girl was looking. But I guess it would have resulted in an awkwardly wide image. I had a wider version of this, but it was neither here nor there. This one just felt better. Note that I've not criticized the blown-highlight background in the third picture. Somebody probably will, but I won't. ;^) Haha, yeah that sucked. I had this perfect shot of the engine from another angle, but it was out of focus... :/ Thanks for your comments, though -- Sandman[.net] |

I especially enjoyed the trains, as they reminded me of my youth, when I actually rode in steam powered trains, both in the USA and in Europe. You will get many critiques about your pictures on line; some of them are genuine and nice, while some of them are unfair to say the least. It is hardly polite or fair to criticize a Swedish person's command of English; how many of us speak any Swedish? (I know only Svenska flicka e vakra.) Keep up the good work, and keep up your nice picture posts.

Thank you You will get many critiques about your pictures on line; some of them are genuine and nice, while some of them are unfair to say the least. It is hardly polite or fair to criticize a Swedish person's command of English; how many of us speak any Swedish? (I know only Svenska flicka e vakra.) Well, the people that give me grief for misspelling a words are usually those I have corrected in the past. Not with spelling, mind you, but the usage of words where they've used a word in a "funny" way. It's ok, I can take it. I don't have any pride invested in my spelling and grammar and I know I make lots of mistakes (even when writing in Swedish!) Cheers! -- Sandman[.net], and it's "Svenska flickor är vackra" (Swedish girls are beautiful) - (Yeah, they are!) |

Failing both makes you a liar, just so you know. YOU are the one starting it again, Peter, when you make such ludicrous claims. -- Sandman[.net] |
