I took these pics yesterday while I was waiting one phone call to come.

One stairs with different angles and testing there the yellow filter with indoors shots.

Camera:Yashica Mat 124 and film Fomapan200.
Developed with Rodinal (14') and scanned with Epsonv600.
PP: resize, some croppings and very small curves for some and some as they came from the scanner.

Interesting!
Good composition (for me) especially in 7, 10 and in the last one.

Nice shots, i imagine a person can play a day composing in this scenario. I liked the most of the series: the 3., 4, 5, 8 and 10.

Thanks Renato!
and yes, I spent there only short while, but the lights and shadows and those stairs lines were quite attractive for that kind 6x6 shots.
Maybe some other day and with better time an other try there.

BTW: I found that for the some lower resolution screens 800pix pics are too large, so I now changed all those pics size little bit smaller (800=>700pix).

I really like these compositionally, but (and I hope you don't mind the but!) I think you could improve them by upping the contrast quite a bit. I copied one into photoshop, made sure there were some true blacks in the image then applied a strong S curve. I think you could make your really nice abstract compositions jump off the page a bit more.

Best wishes, Kris.

Thank you very much Kris!! This was really very valuable information for me.
So what I see here really aint the same what you all there.. ..Embarassed

I have here two uncalibrated monitors, this iMacs and the other one connected with it is cheap Benq G2220HD.
Now I know that I have to really calibrate these monitors (and before that I've to make much stronger s-curves Very Happy
The calibrating is the thing what I should have done a long ago, but.. .. Embarassed
Thanks Kris, this was really good thing to get to know! Smile

3, 5, and 8 for me. Agree with Kris about sorting out the levels.

Very nice idea, the theme and the B&W, but I would make a narrower selection.

Thanks Yebisu and Orio!

..and yes, next time some more s- curves and smaller amount of examples. Smile
Those were all the frames that I took there then.
