You do well with the gravestones, I find them difficult to photograph so there's separation relative to surroundings... you manage this so well, and get good lighting too.
So: what film, developer, camera, lens?

I don't know if it's my monitor, but for such subject I would wish for some more contrast. I miss deep blacks in the shadows and highlights on the stones.

Nicely done. I think the contrast is near perfect (my monitor is cheap but I have just calibrated it). I don't think there are absolute blacks in a wooded graveyard during the day, are there? Many of the shots I see here (that people like) look to me to have filled in blacks with blotchy transitional areas.
Were they shot with a Tessar? I find the "clumpy bokeh" in the third one a little distracting. There are strong sharpening fringes but presumably that is the result of trying to restore contrast after shrinking them for the forum.

Great pictures, respectfully done!
Personally, I don't want to take pictures on a cemetery. But I agree there is nothing wrong about these.
Very nice!

I have calibrated EIZO T965 and everything looks fine to me, but it is so individual that for someone the contrast is too high and in the same moment - for sb else contrast is too low.
I don't know whether Mamiya Secor 90mm is Tessar-type design. All picyures were taken with Secors 90mm and 180mm. |
