Hi Lance,
overall I like it.........but I'm going to go against the crowd........I would like to see a little more light in the FG........as it may set the structure on the left out a little more and give a little more detail on the tree reflection in the RH side. If you try it..........repost here so we can compare,
Roman
Lance,
Did you do a little burning work on this image? It seems like there's an "oval of interest" and I wasn't certain that was natural. I'm not sure that I agree with Roman regarding the foreground structure, but I definitely agree that including more of the reflection of the trees in the right hand side of the image would add to the image. If those details were "burned" away, would it be possible to see a version of the image without those adjustments?
NO adjustmenst at all to this image - it is exactly as it was from the 35mm film. Was scanned on a drum scanner and that is all. What you see is exactly what came out of the camera.
The oval of intrest may have been a result of the filter that the XPAN uses on the 45mm lens possibly.
Lance,
After letting this one percolate in my head for a day, I really like the dramatic effect--that "oval of interest"--in this instance. I am concerned that all of your images could possibly be affected this way by the lens/filter system and I think it would be worth investigating if the Xpan is consistent in exposing images with dark corners.
Hi David - no thats not the case with the xpan - le that the light think it was just a combination of how and the intensity and the angle that the light was hitting the lens.
