[Rob MacKillop]

Nice to see you branching out, Julian Nice soft focus from the DP3M. I can't make my mind up about the black border. In the first, I like the way the darkness off the image seems to blend into the lower border, but the top of the image shows a rather rigid line of separation. I wouldn't lose sleep over it, though. What do you think?

Thank you Rob. The black border, well yes, my only excuse is my autistic tendencies insist on a border. How ever much I try I cannot resist and this worked better than a plain white one. Having said that a plain white one here goes un noticed and just reduces the images size. So yes not made my mind up either and my internal battle with borders is on going. I did have a period of no borders but it was brief. I wonder if it from painting and drawing where a frame was the norm at one time. Though I cannot get around how some paintings carry on around the sides of the canvas, I hope photography does not adopt that way. But yes borders are a subject of their own and I for one cannot find a happy place.One day maybe.

The contrast between the sharply focused leaves and the OOF background is lovely. (Makes me think I should have bought Rob's DP3M. (But I'm a wide-angle fellow at heart.) Fine pair of images, Julian.

Thanks Brian. I get the impression that you are a wide angle guy, from what you post.I think from memory you have quite a nice canon wide, maybe a 17mm. Yes I am suprised Rob did not chuck in the dp3 with the Dp1 he gave you

I also struggle with the black borders on these images but I do like the sombre tones, especially in the first.

Thanks Pete. I think also the border dissapears when I have them at full size, and it is the sombre tones that dominate, so maybe I am not considering them as much. But they are glued on too tight to take them of now

Yes Julian, I shoot more wide angle than anything else. Can't remember that last time I shot with a 50 or greater focal length on a film camera. (And by the way, it didn't surprise me at all that that skinflint MacKillop didn't chuck in the DP3 with the DP1 he did not give me. )

Ah, a financial transaction between two Scotsmen. It was never going to be pretty!

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Did anybody mention them two in regard to pretty yes I have noticed Brian going wide. I guess I am on the borderline here Julian and I find nothing wrong in that, seeing the images as real good a set, Merlin or no Merlin.
