[oftheherd]

I like this. The headless and armless model, the car in the door reflection, done in b/w. All works together for me.

Not to take away from cosmonaut, but this is a style that reminds me of Tuna. He seems to have an eye for this type of photo. I wish I did. Thanks for the 'eye' and for sharing cosmonaut.

Beautiful colors, hard to believe that this was shot with a Jupiter 8
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/13942/U13942I1332041879.SEQ.0.jpg

Underground #2, By Steveh
I love it when normal, day2day situations make it into a possible wall print:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/6887/U6887I1331936327.SEQ.0.jpg

Mirrors and Doors, By BlackCamera~S.Smyth
Great split of space using a mirror, pretty model, not looking like a posed nude at all:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/41338/U41338I1331869478.SEQ.0.jpg

#074, By lynnb
The complex geometry just keeps me attached and return to this one:

p376951620-4, By ChEc
Great use of complementary colors in a simple scene leading to another wall print:

[lynnb]

Thank you for the mentions tj01, RichardG and ferider - very much appreciated!

My favourites from the Gallery this week - and what a week...

x-ray - Nazi youth. This amazing series is compelling, sad, and frightening. Courageous documentary photography.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/2450/U2450I1331737723.SEQ.0.jpg
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/2450/U2450I1331737637.SEQ.0.jpg
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/2450/U2450I1331737561.SEQ.0.jpg

semrich - untitled. Exceptional panning shot.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/5622/U5622I1331994838.SEQ.0.jpg

memphis - Delta People. I liked both the portrait and the tonal control.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/3579/U3579I1332121208.SEQ.0.jpg

huntjump - Waterstriders. Strong, despite - or maybe because of - the mis-focus.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/43294/U43294I1332125536.SEQ.0.jpg

Mlehrman - Jerry. Character, and the link to the backstory is worth the visit. The strong processing reminded me of a pencil drawing, which I think suits the subject.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/3187/U3187I1332117554.SEQ.0.jpg

Paulfish4570 - from our niece's wedding. This is one of those delightful moments at a wedding when kids are being kids, with the princess bride.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/35015/U35015I1332086806.SEQ.0.jpg

c.poulton - Greenwich Park Couple. The girl looking out of the frame made it special.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/1290/U1290I1332065668.SEQ.0.jpg

Luiman - untitled. Compositional balance, tonality and texture.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/28407/U28407I1332106174.SEQ.0.jpg

valdas - a driver. Love that kitten! There have been some great cat shots in the Gallery recently..
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/9415/U9415I1331936123.SEQ.0.jpg

portktaco - austin feb 5. I liked all the shots in this series.

porktaco - austin feb 6
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/30492/U30492I1331907613.SEQ.0.jpg

hteasley - Russ. Thoughtful portrait with beautiful bokeh.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/data/8420/IMG0067.jpg

BlackCamera~S.Smyth - Mirrors and Doors. Sensuous.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/41338/U41338I1331869478.SEQ.0.jpg

[lynnb]

and a few more...

Emavoh - Ford 200. I liked the mood created by the rusty wreck and the snow, and the composition in this shot.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/31837/U31837I1331853816.SEQ.0.jpg

OurManInTangier - Commute. Excellent triptych of what used to be a universal commuting experience, although iPads may put and end to the rustle of papers.
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/8001/U8001I1331836549.SEQ.0.jpg

bobbyrab - Zeiss 21/4.5. Simply beautiful!
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/12289/U12289I1331689770.SEQ.0.jpg

[Mlehrman]

What a great week. As usual. I try to not say "what a great week", being pretty much perpetually true and thus trite, but it just happens anyway.

[OurManInTangier]

Firstly, some of the photos that grabbed my attention - although I was away alot last week so missed plenty by the looks of things.

I'll start with another cat shot!! I know, shocking.

ferider's Shadow21 - Whilst I'm a big softie for cats this one gives the dog lovers some ammunition when they say cats are aloof, stand-offish and certainly not man's best friend. Perhaps, perhaps not but better watch what you say around them.

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll169/OurManInTangiers/Shadow21byferider.jpg
Lynn's XA Summer #999 - I could easily have gone for Lynn's bench shot which was superb but this one is just so good to stare at, slowly realising how many patterns and cameos there are to look at.

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll169/OurManInTangiers/XASummer999bylynn.jpg

Shirley Creazzo's Sunrise New York State - a tiny picture but a beautiful colour palette...and a reminder that somethings are just too pretty not to photograph

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll169/OurManInTangiers/sunrise02byShirleyCreazzo.jpg

Semrich's Untitled - Bringing speed, road noise, grinding gears, horns and burning deisel to life

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll169/OurManInTangiers/L1002896bySemrich.jpg

bobbyrap's Zeiss 21/4.5 - The title gives the impression this was little more than a lens test or experiment, the result is so much more.

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll169/OurManInTangiers/Zeiss2145bybobbyrap.jpg

ChEc's Letter and number sequence ( sorry Chris, I've forgotten what its named ) - Amazing colours and utmost precision in the composition.

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll169/OurManInTangiers/p376951620-4byChEc.jpg

Steveh's Underground#1 - This is the London of Mackendrick's The Ladykillers or the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes movies and I could love it for that reason alone.

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll169/OurManInTangiers/Underground1bySteveh.jpg

finally, C. Poulton's Greenwich Park Couple - I try to avoid commenting along the lines of "just like HCB" or "as if Terry O'Neill took the shot" etc etc, except the first thing I thought when I saw this was that someone had simply posted a Winogrand shot to the gallery. I'm so ashamed;) but I wouldn't be if I was Mr C. Poulton.

http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/ll169/OurManInTangiers/Greenwich_Park_Couplebycpoulton.jpg

I know I've missed loads this week but even what I did get to see has been impressive.

Secondly, a big thanks to Lynn, Lluigi, Photony Texas and Tj01 for including my triptych and another nod to Richard; my second week back looking at the Gallery Picks and I'm already finding how differently I look at the pictures during the week and how I'm becoming slightly less myopic.

Congratulations to all.

this week...

i'll start with my photo of the week.

steveh

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/6887/U6887I1331936327.SEQ.0.jpg

i'm a sucker for everything in this picture. kubrick imagery, subway tile, confined sight distances, curvey lighting, ghostly figures. it's a superbly well taken image, and the resolution in the subway tile gives it away as well crafted.

semrich

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/5622/U5622I1331994951.SEQ.0.jpg

the strong linear elements, the delicious reflections, the ghostly buildings and that wonderful lit-up head.

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/5622/U5622I1332087295.SEQ.0.jpg

similarly, great sight lines, wonderful organic/rounded forms. glorious tones.

i think havana is my next photo trip destination. this whole series was really great. the m8-to-film-look is especially to be commended.

photonytexas

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/25693/U25693I1331756696.SEQ.0.jpg

really interesting. had to click, glad i did.

lastly.... lastly. x-ray's series on the klan/nazi gathering. impossible not to look, well documented. this kid isn't nearly half as scary as his supercreepy dad.

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/2450/U2450I1331737723.SEQ.0.jpg

and in a moment of synchronicity, the photo preceding it in the gallery is this one, from tigerphil. it's nice in its own right, but doubly noticable from where it sits in the queue.

yes, the placement of phil's menora next to the nazi rally series was, what? transcendent? :)

Very big thanks to Tony "leica M2 fan" for the recognition.

a perfect little image. again, i'm a sucker for this kind of subject. i'm waiting for the gingerbread house and the trail of breadcrumbs. on top of that it's got all the things a technical eye wouid like. lines, tones, balance, patterns. well done.

and paul, yeah, i don't know what to call it either. i'd like to say it's hopeful, as i read it backwards from the nazis and the klan to the menorah.

I'm late this week, but still have picks. Many have shown up already, and I will still post them as they were what I picked even if I'm a day behind.

Here we go:

bobbyrab, great tones, and perfect timing with the couple as they move up the path into the mist.

http://www.rangefinderforum.com/rffgallery/gallery/12289/U12289I1331689770.SEQ.0.jpg



x-ray, a timeless shot that's what's sad about it. The composition of this one appealed to me with the guys in the bedsheets saluting between their burning symbols.

thank you, steve.

[c.poulton]

Wow, I am feeling very humbled by the many mentions that I have received this week, especially the comments OurManInTangier has so kindly made. It means so much to me to receive critique on my work (good and bad) as this is the only way I will learn to improve, and I still have a great deal to improve upon! Thank you everyone!

[bobbyrab]

Thank you very much for the mentions, it's appreciated.

[serg-k3]

Thanks to everyone who pointed out my pictures in the gallery. For me, this is a high score.

[Steveh]

Thanks to Ferider, hteasley, Simon, Porktaco and Semrich for the kind mentions. It's always such a pleasure to view the amount of great work that appears on here in the space of a week.

[sojournerphoto]

Thanks to all who have posted pictures this week - another inspiring and varied collection. The range from documentary work on the modern Nazi to the beauty in some of the other pictures is fantastic.

I simply have to mention Luiman's picture and the ones nearby in his gallery - what lovely pictures they are.

I also want to say thanks, and I've had this thought for a few weeks, to Leica M2 Fan for his tireless support of this thread, for the time he puts in to look at other people's work and to offer constructive and positive comment. A real example of tireless, consistent and unselfish care for other people. Thanks.

and thanks to mike, too, for such encouragement.

[semrich]

I sincerely offer thanks and appreciation to the following (to avoid confusion for whom I'm thanking I'm using their user name) for including my shots this week: tj01, Richard G, lynnb, Leica M2 Fan, Paulfish4570, hteasley, photony texas, Richard Berter, OurManInTangier, tigerphil, pork taco, and barnwulf.

Additionally, Paul (pork taco) commented: the m8-to-film-look is especially to be commended. For anyone interested the m8-to-film-look was totally about my using Nik Software Silver Efex Pro 2, #019 Fine Art preset, Ilford HP5 Plus 400 Film Type, mostly Burn all Edges #1, and some limited Selective Adjustments Control Points. My demo expired today, I like the results enough that I just bought the complete Nik package for Aperture and Aperture to go with it. Now I've got the workflow to finish the shots I like, I'll be posting more as soon as I complete the laborious taks of deleting older work in the Gallery.

[luiman]

Thank you, Jim, your comments are always much appreciated.

[porktaco]

i have been thinking about silver efex for a while now

[porktaco]

also, i love seeing gallery pix here in all their glory. it's a shame that we don't have a way to flick through gallery pictures in full size. i miss a lot with thumbnails.

[OurManInTangier]

Thumbnails do impact on how many views a picture will receive and whether it gets overlooked or immediately picked up on. It's a shame but I doubt there'll be much change there. However, to counterbalance that the gallery users here and the differing types of images posted mean that we get a pretty good 'heads-up' from other members. Flickr, despite the nice big pictures, doesn't offer the same scope IMO (if you stick to groups that mirror your interests and type of photography) of imagery and, I always found, that I missed the communal feeling to the comments left here. So much so, I usually have a quick flick through the 'Comments' section to see what has caught other peoples eye after I've gone through the gallery itself.


....and....
Thank you Jim, your comment and 'Pick' is hugely appreciated.
