PESOs: Shoes and a Portrait
Hi all. Last night I decided to send a couple of snaps along to you folks and was putting together an email just now. Then I noticed that Shel posted a PESO with the same title. Cosmic. I've been playing with C-41 BW films lately. I've pretty much settled on Kodak BW400CN as being the best of the bunch, and here's two samples. Both were taken with my *ist 35mm and FA 50mm f1.7. http://www.flickr.com/photos/uncamikey/128639892/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/uncamikey/128636987 I think the larger sizes looks better -- the link to the larger image is right beneath the Flickr picture. Suggestions and comments are very welcome. I haven't posted many pictures at PDML, but have gotten very helpful responses when I do. Thanks! *UncaMikey http://www.flickr.com/photos/uncamikey
RE: PESOs: Shoes and a Portrait
LOL Even more cosmic is this shot: http://home.earthlink.net/~shel-pix/mansitting.html I like your Shoes shot ... would like to see it larger. Whoops, didn't see the link to the larger size. Cool! BTW, of all the C41 BW films I've tried, various Kodak emulsions gave me more of what i wanted than some of the other brands. Shel [Original Message] From: Unca Mikey Hi all.

I am familiar with all the rules of composition blah, blah blah, but I can only say if I like a photo or not. The portrait is wonderful. An entire story can be conjured up about this person. She is pretty, has always been pretty and has a sad, thoughtful expression Her beauty makes it pleasing to look at and her expression makes it intriquing. BW, as always, presents the surreal view. Color could do nothing for this photograph. I guess I like it. - Original Message - From: Unca Mikey [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PDML pentax-discuss@pdml.net Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2006 3:35 PM Subject: PESOs: Shoes and a Portrait Hi all.
