Nice collage and idea. I like the different focuses. Excellent composition.


Robert Chin   {K:20505} 5/5/2007
Very good example of selective focus John,maybe an explanation of what you did would help those
of us who aren`t knowledgable about f stop and point of focus.

Take care

Thanks dear friend.

Thanks a lot Robert for the kind comment... well I don't think the focus is a problem here, the statues are pretty big and so you simple put the object that you want in focus at the center of the image, tatch half way the shouter bottom so the camera focus on it automaticly and last tern the camera at the last position it was, so simple, my testing here has to do with the two statues in VERY different plases and I try to play with the perspective, to 'use' them so they looks like being togather...

Ha, John, I think this is so very well done and I can only learn from you :) !!!! Fine collage and fine different focuses, great composition indeed :)
That is so precious :) !!!
We all have to try much more :)
Thanks for sharing :) !!!
Hugs
Srna


John Hatz   {K:152703} 5/5/2007
Well no... I think we can learn from ourselves trying something different, I have made many tries that are...unbelievable horble!!!! If I didn't have a digital camera now I could be out of money becayse of the films I ....distroy!


Srna Stankovic   {K:115434} 5/5/2007
John, ofcourse that I first learn from my own and I learned this way the best, but looking on the work of others is learning too if you know what do I mean :)
But I do learn first and mostly with my own efforts, I am that kind of type :)
I hope we do understand each other :)
Have to go now, be back latter :)
Hugs

Hello my friend !! Great to hear you, how are you ?

Great try / compare different focus. I like right version more, and left one is little too dark. Good work !!

regards, simo


John Hatz   {K:152703} 5/5/2007
That's for sure...two heads are better that one...lol...even mine is half hahaha!
I think we can find objects to 'connect', I remember a photo of a child hold the Piza's tower!!! Think that, perspective and the use of the best angle - point of view can give magic results!!!


John Hatz   {K:152703} 5/5/2007
Hallo Simos, you get it well...yea, I didn't 'save' the camera's exposure so the photos are different, needs bothly a bit more light, thanks a lot for the very good comment...


Robert Chin   {K:20505} 5/5/2007
John you misunderstood me,what I meant was for you to give an explanation of the technique you used,I wasn`t saying there was focusing problem.You are good a photographer for that.Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Have a great weekend.
Robbie

Thanks Michele...


James Cook   {K:37179} 5/11/2007
Worthy composition. Well I do find that the statues in the left shot are a little too dark, the SKY is just right. The two different colors of sky provide a good counterpoint for the twin shots. Also, I feel compelled to crop some from the bottom.

My crop.


John Hatz   {K:152703} 5/12/2007
Thanks a lot for the great comment James, you are right...I didn't 'save' the camera's way between the two imagies and the second (left) is too dark for sure, perchaps that was because the apperture was auto and the bigger bright area (as I focus in smaller dark object) makes the camera use smaller apperture. I agree with the crop too, it looks beter I think, and I can add more cropped sky too!
Really thanks a lot for the super critique, you gives me lots here!


James Cook   {K:37179} 5/12/2007
Well, maybe using a slow-sync flash would do the trick. As I said, I think the sky in the left shot is perfect in contrast to the sky in the shot on the right. The two different sky colors work together to delineate the two sides of the final composition. It's just that the darkened statue could use a little help. But a very low flash setting so it doesn't burn out any of the statue.


KEVIN TEMPLE   {K:7749} 6/13/2007
