Some more from the Botanical Gardens

[Paul Lange]

These are a few of the black and photographs. All taken with the X-Pro 1 and then modified in LR and Perfect Effects 8.








This one is part of my Divine Moments series but I broke with the idea of only using film (cause I didn't have my film camera with me). - http://www.realphotographersforum.com/forum/threads/divine-moments.18944/#post-146325

Another three winners, Paul. The divine moment is just stunning and my favourite from that series to date. It balances beautifully. I also like, with the first shot, that you cannot easily distinguish between the shadows and the real leaves. The patches of light work well too. And the mono version of 'The Vine! Cert. X' really enhances the feel.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Even better in b&w, I think. More Gothic, maybe. The first one is very beautiful.

 

[Paul Lange]

Thanks Pete, Rob. My printer has been on a sabbatical of late but it will be kicked into action now that the photography bug has bitten back again.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Guess it is forbidden for a Norseman to see them, 'cause I see only frames.

 

[Paul Lange]

You can't see the images?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I can't see them now, either, Paul. They've been stolen!

 

[Paul Lange]

Weird, I can still see them and the links back to Flickr work too.

 

[Pete Askew]

The work for me too.

 

[Beth Carter]

love the framing on the second.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Brilliant Paul... I love the second one very much. I'm not a fan of heavy grain as is present in the first, but that is a type of shot that couldn't do without it and works spot on. Nice set.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Finally made it on my pad here. Brilliantly done Paul as I see them in black and white.
