under the bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

Probably the last one from the bike series for a while. Uploaded just to show a fisheye effect on the bridge construction. I used my friends Zenitar 16/2,8 Fisheye Lens. Manual, cheap but for some purposes very effective... As I have this lens for whole december I won't probably stop using it until Christmas. Some more pictures probably to come.
It wasn't possible to manage lighting not to overexpose the part and to show some of the bridge interesting structure at the same time.
Tech: Raw conv, desaturation, usm

Very nice split composition : everything falls into place nicely without being stiff.
I like your tonal range of soft greys, although it may lack some true black, also the biker is probably too faded, a darker silhouette would have been welcomed.

I was thinking of that cheap fisheye lens for underwater photos but I believe it's still not wide enough. Have you ever tried wider lenses like the Peleng 8mm lens?

witaj Piotrze,

bardzo ciekawa praca. Lubie takie, wlasnie to polaczenie mocno geometrycznego miejsca, szerokiego szkla i czlowieka. Bardzo fajnie to wszystko skonstruowales.

Bardzo ciekawa fota, dobrze, że uchwyciłeś rowerzystkę w kadrze. Super szkło, można eksperymentować na maksa.
Pozdrawiam, Marek.

Hi Piotr,
I like this one, specially the tones and the silhouette of the biker.
I would have contrasted a little more. I made a ws.
Well done : )

Privet Piotr,
This is a great great shot (of Krakow), I like your choice of subject (not the gorgeous touristy buildings of that amazing city but this under-bridge view). I like how you have opted for the soft acid green tones, and the fisheye lens that is perfect here. A great composition, very nicely seen and executed!

PS Will be back

Czesc,
zdaje mi sie, ze z analogowego nikusia F-601 przeszles do cyfry Canona, skad ta zdrada? Ja tez mialem 601 ale zostalo sporo obiektywow od nikona totez kupilem D70. Tutaj fajny rezultat uzycia rybiego oka i to nic, ze ruskie. Ostatnio wprzegam tez nietypowe bo od Sixa Biometary , bdb szklo Zeissa. Udany eksperyment, widze, ze zadbales aby nie bylo przepalen bo przy tak kontrastowym swietle o to nie trudno.
Pozdr. Al.
