Cheers to you then, brother in arts ;-) , and to your Mamiya!
And surely it is as good as the Hassie - they are sisters actually. Different concepts but same effect: Great images!
Soon I'll be posting some, and I wait for yours too!
Cheeeriooo!

Hey, this I name extraordinary, Visar! Well, just a question out of my surprise about how similar we think... are you perhaps some brother of mine about whom I didn't know anything until now? ;-)
I bought that Hasselblad set and what can I tell you? It blasted my out of my shoes to just look in the view finder.. That Hassie paints the image by pure light in front of your eyes. I shot my frist few 120 films and some images... I can't believe that this is possible. It can't be true and I see it in front of my eyes - forget the new "digital brave world", it is all simply nonsense in front of that silent superiority of the Hassie. Did you get yours? You will understand what I try to express in words... it is simply impossible to describe it.
Soon I'll be posting some images.
Cheers bro, and what a nice thing to know that I am not so alone in the club!

guess what! it is some time that i have put my 30D on sale, so that i can get that Hasselblad C/M, for which i have a very nice price, and the year of production far before i was born!! so, you won't be alone for the next two centuries Nick ;)
btw, here is a nice link to cameraland:

Thanks a lot for the reply and the info, Visar!
The translation of the color boosting on a digital camera to the folm camera language would be to use a film with a richer color response. Normally a higher ISO film will also raise contrast and brilliance of color. So I have now a good hint for the next try.
BTW, indeed I stay on film for the next couple of centuries. Just bought my Hasselblad 500C set. After that I may proceed to digital, that is when all other people will be already using hyperspace-quantum-superbrain-atomic-booster-cameras! ;-)
Cheers!

hi Nick,
technically speaking, one option would be if you boost the colours in the menu of the camera (that is what i can do in my camera, canon 30D, whereas i do not know about your camera as i know you use film); perhaps, a polarized filter may help you in getting this result- i do not think that it would effect the white of the wall, but only the blue of the sky...
frankly, i could not say much for certain- :)
cheers,
v.

Yes, I completely see what you mean, Visar. In this case it is converst to a real abstract in the very strict definition of the world. Now I think about how this could have been achieved woth camera/lens? Any idea?
Cheers!

Yes Nick, that's that. that is what i thought. and it does look just how i would want to see it.
as i had mentioned in the previous comment, due to abrrupt/ sharp/ strict line that divides the sky and the house- the picture gains an amazing abstract character~
once again, a fantastic work.
cheers,

Thanks a lot for the nice and so well detailed comment, Visar! And also for the idea!
Do you mean something like the attachment? I find it a good enhancement of the image and indeed the light in the center remains intact for the most part of it.
Cheers!
Nick

(Hopefully) Visar's idea for a more intense blue at the left |

this sharp border line that divides the blue gives a perfect irreal feeling to the photo. I initially thought it was some PS trick, due to the fabulous light that hit the centre of the canvas on the wall of the house (which, thanks to precise eye of our Nick, looks like some abstract i cannot name).
though, i like the original composition, you have gotten a few interesting suggestion, of which the last one, that of Fabrice, convinces me for the most appropriate! it adds an even more abstract character to it, for its unusual angle and the window looks less like a window. however, that centre light, with very delicate shadows (as i said above) is absolute beauty, and it aches me to see it removed, and whose loss is inevitable according to that suggestion :).
since Dave and Fabrice gave their suggestions, i would also like to add another!
how about having the division line right in the middle, and without removing anything from the house, but only adding some more blue on the left?! this way, you would preserve that light- again, i find it the most essencial, the key of this image.
a fave.
cheers,
v.

Thanks a lot for the reply, Dave. I can't really find any reason for the improvement that the crop does, but it does some improvement for me.

Hi Nick, I think the improvement is marginally better, but it's still a good shot in the original version!

45° ? Wow, that's quite an idea, Fabrice! I have to try it with the camera, but for now, here is a crop made with PS! And I find it much more remarkable than the original orientation!
Thank you very much!
Nick
|
Rotated 45° and croppes (almost) square after Fabrice's idea |

Thank you very much, Dario! So you don't find that a more off center look could make it better, I guess, and that's interesting for me, as it shows how differently we may look at pictures. According to Dave's idea a more off centered look would be better, so what do you think?
All the best and thanks again,
Nick

Thanky a lot for the nice comment and the suggestion, Dave. On the try to somehow transform it the way you mentioned, I add an attachment with a crop on which the corner is more to the left. What do you think?
Nick
|
Cropped image in order to move the corner of the building more to the left as Dave suggested |

Yes Nick this can be a possibility, or you can also cropped it differently for a rotation of 45° ;)..
See you..

Thanks a lot for the nice comment and above all for the suggestion, Fabrice, which reminds me of a very important thing when playing in a band:
Reduce the guitar solo to the absloute necessary minimum!
OK, lemme stop my eloquency an just try to hit the necessary notes only! ;-) You mean something like the attachment?
Interesting, very interesting! It does sublime the very important part by simply evaporating any kind of additional things that would be really unneeded! And so I ahve to thank you again for the purification of my own view!
Nick

Cropped it down square (hopefully) according to Fabrice's idea. |

I like the contrast with the plain blue of the sky and the detail of the building, Nick. Perhaps if the corner of the building was a little more off center the composition would improve slightly.

I like the way you compose this one Nick with such beautiful colors and details. Perhaps I would go further in the crop by choosing to put the part of the window in one angle and chose the square shot.
Anwyay, this is a really nice work.
Cheers
