Pool Parlor at Joe Jost's

[Brian Moore]

I posted the first one a few weeks ago I think. I took it with my Holga 120N and Fomapan 100 film. However, just to show the difference, I've posted below another picture of the same scene which I took with my Oly XA and Arista Premium 400 film. I snapped the images just moments apart, but I had forgotten I had done so until I developed a roll out of the Oly this afternoon.

Like night and day Brian!

Love the extra reflected light off of the surfaces in #2

 

[Brian Moore]

Yeah,...I couldnae believe the difference myself, Chris. Thanks for the comment.

 

[Pete Askew]

Staggeringly different indeed. I like the first for the atmosphere but the second is just as good but for different reasons. I love the reflections in the fridge (?) doors.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That second shot is a killer. Wonderful atmosphere.

 

[Kev Pugh]

I like both the first with the Juke box drawing my eye down to the bar then in the second it sort of melts into the background and the ghostly player on the left of frame behind the chair back pulls me over that side....these need to be side by side for me, great shots Brian.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Pete, Rob and Kev!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Artistically more interesting vs technically better I think is what describes the difference here

 

[Brian Moore]

Thank you, Hamish!

 

[Pete Sykes]

I love the second shot it really does work.......... Great shot.

PS .... Those deer must have been going at some speed to have busted through that wall

Thank you, Peter.

Sometimes you just need a brew! I'd do the same if I had to.

Shame they didn't make it to the bar though after all that effort!!
