i quite like the glow a white sky gives.
i see what you mean about the top left alright, though the vignette does help lead the eye through the center, i think.

i’m not sure why but i really like the blown out sky look lately, gone right off clouds :D

thanks Dave.
it’s pretty much a straight scan from Kodak Portra 160NC, shot on a Hasselblad, just some dust marks and stuff removed in PS. those marks are the Kodak branding on the film, maybe a little distracting i agree.

i like it a lot, nice relaxed pose and i agree with her, the lighting is nice. maybe too dark on the left side, not quite balanced?

thanks folks.
to be honest i wouldn’t consider a black and white, the images are all about the colour, that was my reason in taking them. i’m not a big fan of black and white purely for the sake of it anyways.maybe i’l venture back with a film camera one of the days and reshoot some aspects of it in black and white film, it’d be a different project though.

i agree with everyone else, some stunning work there Kev. the only thing i would say is maybe stay away from the mono and IR stuff. it seems to be there just for the sake of having mono work. with the colours and sunsets you’re geting down there it seems a shame to abandon colour. otherwise, beautiful work.

haven’t been on here in a while, thanks for the comments guys, just makes it even more sickening to have lost the negs :x Emma, to be honest i’d say the second shot was something of a fluke, given my experience with film, it was pretty much my first time using the Nikon FE as well (a really sweet little camera).
my project in the end was much different to these, can be seen here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/niallmac/page2/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false; the three framed b+w ones.

Thanks Gorio and John. i guess i’m gonna have to look at resizing things for the new site.
the converging verticle was kind of necessary to fit in the bits i wanted and exclude the bits i didn’t, in this case getting in the whole tree whilst leaving out a hayshed to the left.
