Critique Welcomed Return To North Park

So you thought of another excellent use for the 617. I too prefer to Velvia because of the stronger intensity of colour but also the image itself as the truck lights make a huge difference to the image.

The second is more natural the first more striking. Great work, risking life and equipment, well worth it.

Thanks Milan - agreed, natural vs artistic

Thanks Paul - I'm trying to expand my comp horizons with the camera - it's all about training the brain

It must be difficult, I know how much you hate 16 x 9 format and 16 x 7 is almost as terrible.

The Velvia one is outstanding, Chris. I'm personally not too excited about the Provia version, but the first one is great.

Thanks Keith - I know what you mean - I go back and forth on one vs the other

Aside from the lack of the truck marker lights in the Provia version, it has that "brown cast" that I really dislike in color photography. It's like I'm looking through a strong skylight filter.

I second Milan here. Velvia is too punchy most of the time, on film anyway and have a tendancy of making it a bit unnatural. But it is a matter of liking I guess. The compo is very good though as well as the lights.
