[PICS] An Old Fasioned Stoning

[PICS] An Old Fasioned Stoning

A month ago I went to UNC's Botanical Gardens and posted some shots from the
5D. These are from a roll of XP2 that I finally had processed.

Very nice technical work on the B&W. Just one problem: the tree limb
competes with your subject for attention. Any way you could have moved
around to avoid the tree?

Thanks for looking. More trees or more chainlink? :-( I suppose I could
blur it in PS to take the edge off? -Jim

Re: [PICS] An Old Fasioned Stoning

If you had a tree on either side of the stone monument, you could place them
at the edge of your frame to "frame" the subject. It would be much more
powerful.

I was actually trying to use up the last of the XP2 that I have. One more
roll to go...
Harry, did you ever get to try out the Kodak's BW400CN? - Jim

Yes, Jim, I did, but the results were inconclusive. I intend to load my
two rfs, one with Kodak, the other with Ilford, then shoot identical
scenes (with the same lens) for an accurate comparison. I still have 5
rolls of XP2 to go.

Lovely contrast and tones Jim. Very clean & sharp. What film camera
did you use?

I'm going to Charlotte NC, just for a couple of days. I hope I have
time to visit the Botanical Gardens.

A little USM goes along way. This was the Elan II and Canon's 1.4 50mm.
It's a very nice lens, but for most stuff the 1.8 would do as well, better
for the cost difference.

The Botanical Gardens at UNC Chapel Hill are about a 2 hour drive, but you
do go right by my house. :-)

Is it me or does the color seem just a bit off in this one?

"Helen" stop harassing me! :-)

I scanned it in grayscale so the purple masking wouldn't show.

LOL! Don't fall for it Jim. Bret is a "jack-of-many-trades" when it
comes to photography....INCLUDING a b&w artist.......and he knows
it! :^)
