thanks for viewing -- well, I never worry what people say about my photos- I don't get all annoyed (unlike MANY on Photo Forums ! ) as I have been in Camera Clubs since 1951 and lots of Judges have commented good and bad ! This photo was taken on my first 'Foreign Trip'with the newly-bought Hasselblad and I had only one lens then the 80mm CFE Planar so I needed a wider angle of view,and also camera was balanced on a rail,as I got a long shutter speed so not the BEST Composition ! Regards--- Peter.

Lovely picture, Wouter, I realy like it! Is it optical illusion, or is it leaning ever so slightly to the right?

I agree, the text just detracts from the image.Stephen

Trying to be constructive here, why this particular Crop? The image is a bit "unbalanced" with a statue on the right side of the altar, but nothing on the left. It might have also been worth includind the top of the altar rather than just the tops of the candle holders. Hope this makes sense. This is meant to be helpful not just to be negative. Regards Stephen

a church in Austria -- I forget the name-- where 'Sound of Music' wedding scene was filmed. I used available light + a small amount of flash from a Sunpak unit, on outdated Kodak Ektachrome EPP 100 film.

The Colour Master (derived from three RAW frames Tone Mapped with Photomatix software) which is a 16-Bit TIFF File, is 182 MB's. This is Tack sharp with superb resolution and detail and could be printed as a very large poster. The Downsized Web Version to meet the 750 Kb maximum file size is just is not nearly as sharp or as detailed as the B&W conversion. The loss in IQ of the Colour Version is large. Stephen

A Rollei 3.5E Planar GIVEN to me by a fellow Camera Club member-- the winder had to be repaired but works OK now. I tried it out in Chelmsford with 1987 dated Kodak Plus X film rated at 64 ASA.
