One Last Rope

July 19th, 2009 carsten No comments

The last in the Rope series. I need to work on the processing of these, to get them a bit “brighter” and more uniform between images. I don’t think that they would work as very large images, but as a set, perhaps in a single frame, or perhaps two frames of three, they could be interesting. I have to think of how to use them the best.

Still More Rope

July 17th, 2009 carsten No comments

I am seeing some frustrating artifacts in the shadow areas of these images. Even turning the JPG quality to 98% I still see them, yet I don’t see them in Lightroom, where I manage the converted TIFF files. I have to figure out where they come from. If Lightroom is at fault, I might have to resize the images in Photoshop CS4, which would be really annoying.

Enough Rope to…

July 14th, 2009 carsten No comments

…tie a boat. This series is one which I would not post individually. I find the colours interesting and the shapes made between pier, boat and rope, but each shot doesn’t hold enough interest on its own. As a set… I am not sure. I like them, but they may be a tad too esoteric for general consumption.

The Edge of the World

July 14th, 2009 carsten No comments

Unfortunately, it turns out that my Hasselblad-Contax adapter cannot focus to infinity, or very far at all, and so the focus in this photo is too close to the camera, just a touch. I will have to search for a better adapter, perhaps the Contax version.

Sky

The sky dominates in this image, but it isn’t the subject, as is obvious. Unfortunately, I managed to get this photo slightly blurry, probably by not having a tripod and by sitting in an awkward position. It works well small, but I wouldn’t be able to print a good A2.

Lighthouse

New, short, series.

This lighthouse is right at the tip of the seawall surrounding the harbour.

Pipes

I wonder what this arrangement of pipes does. I like this shot best of this series.
