i have a quick question about printing,
i know nothing about it but i wanted to get a papercopy ( around 30cm X 20cm) of some shots
i think i need to save them at 300dpi? is that right?
when i try save in photoshop i dont find any dpi-option...?

thanks for any help.

Nice shots. I particularly like that last one. I don't really get #4. Just seems OOF...

As to printing for PS, PS doesn't know dpi per say, I knows image size and the inches get specified by what paper you are jamming the jpeg onto. So, if you want 12x8 images at 300dpi, you need 3600x2400 pixel images.

hi thank you!
aha ok... so my 3872x2592 (thats the size from the camera)
should be sufficient for a good quality photocopy of that size i mention (30cm X 20cm)..
i thought it was something about dpi i needed to play around with.

thanks again for the info!

(oh ... i understand the oof about the nr4 btw

i think maby it work for me because i love play with dof)

#9 and #10 are great.

alexf · October 7, 2009

I do like the last one. #4, #6, #8 do nothing for me.

damonff · October 7, 2009

I like #9.

Angelo · October 8, 2009

#10 is an interesting shot and your BW conversion throughout is nice but I don't know how any of these fit the definition of "street" photography

Very, very nice group of images. An extremely interesting slice of the urban scene. I particularly like #s 1, 5, 9+10 - and think 9 and 10 are truly outstanding. Great work!

bdcolen thank you!
(shot nr 34 of your "getting ready"-serie are one of my all time favourites.)
keep at it.

Nice set of pics!

1. a bit soft for my taste, but great idea.
2. I'm confused by what I know to be vertical and what is in your picture; "…shiver me timbers! We've taken a torpedo and she's down by the head! …better abandon ship, I suppose!"
3. …OK, so it's reversed
4. nope; looks like the auto-focus was confused or broken or switched off… (actually that's exactly how things look to me when I'm not wearing my spectacles…)
5. great idea, but it's just a bit too central for me…
6. nope; too much of whatever it is; great idea if there'd been something recognizable somewhere in there; as is, what is it a picture of???? Maybe the lighter part (from the centre to halfway across to the right edge, by itself), but as is there's too much of whatever it is.
7. nice, but I'd prefer it to be slightly less dark…
8. nope; I don't know what you were trying to do here…
9. I dunno about this one; I don't think it quite makes it; the fact that it's lacking definition spoils it (for me…); the only things in focus are the two stringy thingies on the right…
10. Ah, this is much much better, although I'd have moved slightly to the left (to remove the door-handle from her head (ouch!)

Hey, just ignore me (most folks do) - however you did ask (

)

Thanks for sharing!

Will Davis, thank you so much for taking the time to go through every picture
and give your thoughts about them! i really appreciate it! i do realize the effort.
let me go through them again with your comments in mind.

1. yeah i can se the softness maby bothers a bit, i snap several shots of the entrance
and hoping something interesting would happen,
its a bit soft but i finaly settled with that shot.

2. haha=) abandon ship!... yeah theres a lot of slanted columns and tilted slopes there.

3. to many shots of the same subject in one thread.. i guess thats not very interesting=)
also when i got the print the colors came out way different, on my screen theres a lot of blue and yellow,
on print...horrible green! (i better stay with b&w)

4. yeah it didnt work, i never use auto-focus (maby i should..hehe) anyway, i thought it would work,
i'v seen so many oof shots with city-lights that are really wonderful and wanted to give it a try.
maby better small and down the blue?

5. i guess its a matter of taste=) sometimes a center-composition work, sometimes not.

6. i absolutely agree with you, it was the nuance that got me. it was a big piece and i snap quite a few shots,
i got sucked into it at the end, totaly in my own world.

7. yes i was affraid of the same thing, but when i got the print it actually turned out nice,
the lighter parts was lighter and the darker parts had a really dry crisp feel. (happy!)

8. i was more trying to capture a mood, not so much an actual picture of "something".
9. and this shot kinda belongs with nr8, that was my intention anyway

10. yeah that damn doorhandle! belive me, that was a hermetic place, no room for much movement.
i was standing halfway down a stair with handrailings blocking my view and motion.

this was the best view i could get from that scene

thanks again for comments, i love discuss photography ♥

michswiss · October 9, 2009

I keep coming back to this thread. These are some truly lovely images, including the new ones you've added. The only ones that don't work for me are #3 and #8.

Kinkajou · October 9, 2009

I'm going to come right out and say it:

I LOVE NUMBER FOUR! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

To me, it's one of the strongest of the group. Really interesting shot, nice idea, love the flares going on in there, love the colors - if anything I would boost the saturation and really show off those colors. It's just great.

I also really like #2, 9, and 10 (and the last option you just posted for #10 - the color shot with just the legs).

Thanks for sharing these. Nice work!
