Hood Ornament

Uploaded: November 03, 2004

Description

I was attracted to the hood of this vehicle. With the lines and the leaves. This is just one, of several I took. No fancy work done, other than quick fixes and unsharpen mask. It was a overcast day, slightly moist. 60/22, manual focus, 28-80mm lens using 80. Inexpensive Canadian Super Store 100 ICO film. No flash.

Leanne M.E. Boyd November 03, 2004

Thanks very much Dan! It is nice to find subjects to shoot, that are not too feminine. I have a tendency to look at flowers etc. #887180

Grayce Pedulla Dillon November 04, 2004

Leanne,
This is a really nice composition. Turning your camera, as you did, to get a strong diagonal, was a wise choice. The autumnal colour stands out nicely againts the darker hood.
I hope all is well. I've not been active since the hurricanes. Too much to do to clean up, etc. Our house sustained quite a bit of damage, and we're unable to find a contractor. They're very much in demand.

Good work! Keep it up my friend.

:-) #889808

Leanne M.E. Boyd November 04, 2004

Thanks very much Grayce! I hope you get your home and hearth back in order soon. #890091

Stan Kwasniowski November 04, 2004

Leanne gets all the praise, lol j/k Leanne, the shot is beautiful, the film is not the important factor, its the person behind the camera that presses the shutter button that makes the photo, Very very nice

Stan Kwasniowski #890112

Leanne M.E. Boyd November 04, 2004

Thanks very much Stan! You are very encouraging. I mostly use Kodak or Fuji 200 film, and I thought I would try an inexpensive 100, before I invested in some quality. #890188

Stan Kwasniowski November 04, 2004

Leanne, remember its not the film, its you who make the photo, the film is only an instrument. Your photos are always wonderful to look at

I think this photo has outstanding balance - my eye finds a foothold (is that a mixed metaphor?) in all the right places, leaving no zone uncovered. Very good composition, Leanne!

Leanne, I love this photo. It is very graphic with striking composition and wonderful contrast in subject matter. It would have been quite stunning with some water droplets on the hood also, but it is great as is! #1887255
