Photographer’s Note

A B&W experiment on my part, just keeping the obvious red of the pedestrian's stop light.

We're quite close to Karlskrona center.

If you follow the sign going right you will come to "Lycky Village".

Hi Magnus,
Controversial picture. I have to study this image for some time and “taste” the meaning of the blue sky in this B&W picture with red accent.
Excellent idea and perfect composition

Halløjsa Magnus,
Rigtig god ide at beholde kun det røde lys i denne B&W-komposition. Også godt du fik den lille del af bilen og den pige med hunden med i billedet. Flot stykke arbejde!
Hälsningar,
Lars

Hi Magnus, I hope you were following the red sign staying on the other side of the road, Good capture of the moving car, which blocked your attempt to mingle with the walking the dog lady. Good frame and nice capture of the sunny day with the cold fronzen lake in the view.

Hi Magnus,
This is a nicely view and capture of this experiment of a B&W picture in a daily life, moment and transportation motion. I think that I can or not have get access to the other side of the road because is red in a B&W option ;-))?.

Nicely done and my recent picture is also a near B&W and also with a little detail of read in the face of the duck. It's interesting your work so well composed and well seen. Congratulations and all the best to you.

Very intersting photo, Magnus! A kind of picture we like to take some minutes to see. You played very well with the red light on the p&b. I like the motion on the image also, and the hard contrasts. Good work on it!

Hi Magnus
What a cool PP job. Geeting the overall pic in B&W and having just the small red light in color. Superb graphism, pal.
Excellent idea.
Well done, Magnus.

ahhhh the semi-desaturated shot...

I've posted more then a few myself, and it's amazing the real split that I saw in critiues. It seems to be one of those "love it" or "hate it" topics.

As you may have guessed- I like it. Great details, clarity & levels- really perfectly rendered.

Well done!

Hey Magnus. Good work with the b/w. The contrast is good as are the dynamics from the moving truck or SUV. I just noticed you left the red light red. Cool shot Magnus!

A fine show of Swedish winter in city style. Traffic light in red is a good idea. The girl, dog and car are details that add a lot compared to the bare scenery here.

jjbach (9111) 2006-02-16 2:24

Hi Magnus,
Excellent shot, very well composed. The desaturation you've done, is wonderful and very effective, giving more interest to your composition. Very well done!

Regards John
