Critique 2020 Octoberfest – acnomad (Andy) Hardcore – An Extremely Old 35mm – Day 31

Not bad though. It makes the trees look like there is some motion (to me) oddly enough.

Yeah. Or it is a decent copy of a Holga

The patterns in the water and sky are beautiful and make a very interesting image.

I like the mid tone treatment. I would have been temtpted to push for higher contrast. Well done. Love the S-curve in the foreground.

Looks like some nice wave action, especially with the wave coming in on the left in the background.

Nice. Tasty! Well conceived and shot. The stalk adds so much.

Very cool close-up. I find the texture on the apple really interesting.

Andy, it's very nice. I like the light and the texture.

Perfect exposure/processing for "foamy" !

Simple but beautiful

Wow, the textures coming through on your last shots give the photos feeling of being there.

Thanks all for looking and commenting. I'm barely hanging on to the daily "requirement" to capture and post. Knowing that the results are seen really helps!

Really love the lighting and contrast. Well thought out using a 20 second SS.

Two images combined as a quickie focus stack. This lens focus breathes significantly - probably effective focal length of 40mm or so at its minimum focusing distance.

Great composition

 

[NEF Said]

I like the perspective and composition of your shot.

 

[Palouse]

I really like your light hand on the contrast controls, and the perspective.

That reminds me of an Eggleston photo with your own twist.

Trying to catch up before heading out to find a better Day 22 subject...

Another fabulous shot Andy! The detail in the eye is great!

A great capture of the eye!

Very dang great shot especially with the 35mm!

Thanks, Paul, Phil, and John. Unlike most wildlife, frogs will sometimes tolerate you getting close enough for this sort of shot. And there are plenty of frogs in Florida!

This is a very beautiful image.

Really love the lighting and contrast. Well thought out using a 20 second SS.

Yes, I agree it came out great!

I don't seem to use ND filters very often with AF lenses, mostly because it doesn't seem to be worth the extra time and effort. Using this lens for the last three weeks has really reminded me how enjoyable it can be to slow down.

Great composition

I like the perspective and composition of your shot.

I really like your light hand on the contrast controls, and the perspective.

Thanks, Paul and Nick.

I'm going to have to look up that name - I presume he is someone of note, so I truly appreciate the comparison.
