Critique Welcomed Old Roller

[Chris Dodkin]

No, not Rob or Pete, a real roller!

X-Pro1 ans 23mm Lens @ f/1.4

Spotted on the side of a HUGE engine shed at the NC Transportation Museum

You can just see a few spots of rain hitting the roller - I grabbed this just before the main downpour of the day

Lovely Chris, I love the shallow depth, great detail. I can nearly smell the rust. Superb!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Though just as beautiful

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Ah...rusty and rolly things. I love it.

 

[Pete Askew]

Rob says it all. Lovely shot Chris. Such delicate tones.

 

[Paul Lange]

More top banana stuff from the 23mm lens, I really don't want one, honest.

Thanks Peter - there was plenty of rust to be sniffed!

Thanks Pete - a rainy day made for a great softbox

Paul, don't buy one, they're useless! (Did that help at all?)

 

[Beth Carter]

excellent job, esp. considering you had to work around the limitations of that crappy 23mm lens. i don't want one either. but maybe for my next trip.

No not really as I now feel like backing the underdog with hope that with some TLC it can produce shots just as good as a top lens.
