Tourist or Street 2: Sparkle City

[Shadowman]

Hi John,

I like this image! Does Canson Platine paper display the sunshine and the "glow spots" on the bottom right (for lack of a better term for it) the same as it shows on the monitor screen?

Hi Sandy,
Yes the Platine shows the flare quite well and the blacks have an oil like texture. Thanks for commenting.

This shot was taken while I was doing a bit of practicing capturing movement in low light, the scene was bathed in changing light sources with a disco flair. I tried various methods of controlling the color temperature to bring the skin tones in alignment but most efforts resulted in blotchy skin on the leading skater. Next step is possibly black and white conversion. f/2.5, ISO 3200, 1/160sec.

Nice capture, although cropped a little too tight on the left. Would you consider cropping some off the top? There is enough action there to draw the eye away from the artist.

Hi Dan,
I will consider the crop, thanks for commenting.

Cropped image per Dan's suggestion.

Giving Hahnemuhle paper another try, this time using Photo Rag, Bright White, 8.5" x 11.0".



The smooth texture paper show details rather well with just enough texture for the darker areas.

Hi John - I'm especially drawn to your image of Lafayette Square. I was the typical kid that enjoyed watching clouds. The sky adds beauty to the already attractive buildings!
And to be nosy, what lens did you use?

Thanks!

Wow!

The lighting helped.

I shot this image last fall during one of my weekend jaunts around the area, finally got around to editing. Comments welcome on the different looks, overall composition, processing.



I printed this comparison on Canson Infinity Rag just to look at it without the effects of the screen.

Shot taken on Friday the 12th but felt like the 13th.


Was playing with the camera while waiting for a ride and after zooming in was sure I spotted Jason staring at me.
