I just want to state, that none of my uploaded photos will undergo any digital enhancement. I have to refurbish a lot of pictures all the time. I don't want to advertise anything with this gallery, it is just for pleasure. And my pleasure is longer lasting, when I have to do painstaking darkroom work and spend some time on taking the right slides that have their expressiveness without PS extravaganza... If however I upload 2D-Graphic (but only then), it might incorporate digital processing of some kind, with either analog drawings, pictures or calligraphy...
All the time people have been telling me, that I would get faster results with a diggi-cam, whatever... these days, everything has to be faster. I'd like to be patient for that matter!
Last but not least. I always appreciate sophisticated comments, regardless if praise or criticism. The abundant and arbitrary nonsense some people tend to leave throughout fc, does not contribute to any evolution of our skills, in my opinion. At times I feel like leaving this place because of all the shallownes that does exist around here. But then I explore someones profile and am a happy person because of all the beauty that I find.
Meanwhile I'm studying visual-communication/graphic design... now here, soon in Zurich, CH
All analog, specs are meaningless. the pictures speak. period.
||| Due to obligations in real life I will put this on a halt. feel free to write any thougths, but I will likely not write back too soon...thanks |||

Hi Marcial
Thanks for that nice comment on my picture; chuck
but i actual really love my chuck taylors and also love wearing them. I really liked reading your profile its nice to discover people who still use the traditional methods. I also concur with your opinion on leaving good, opinionated and helpful comments or the lack thereof and i also know how it feels to log in and find you've had hundreds of clicks and zero comments, i find it annoying..(maybe i'll comment on my own.....no thats rather sad). Any way i also liked your photos they are really interesting and i liked them alot and would enjoy seeing more.
Take care, Liz

Herzlichen Dank für Deinen Kommentar zu "Silberstreif am Horizont". Es ist bei Dir genau so angekommen wie ich es gewollt habe! Freut mich sehr. Und ja, ich habe die Tonwertkurve verdreht um den farbigen Kontrast so herzustellen.
Bei Dir finde ich toll, das Du nichts bearbeitest. Viele Aufnahmen von Dir bekommen so den Touch des Unbestechlichen. Mutig!
bibi, Stefan

Die Farben haben sich an diesem Abend genau so rot präsentiert.
Schöne Bilder die Du in der FC präsentierst.

I'm glad you found my photo, if you had not then I may have not found your profile. It's good to now that I'm not the only darkroom phanatic. I believe that the darkroom chemistry far surpasses photoshop filters. I also have a background in graphic design. I'm currently a photography student. Thats how I was able to get the photo Hold it steady. We need more people here with a knowledge of traditional photography. Post more photos and don't go anywhere. Thanks for your nice comment. Your style is intresting. Keep up the good work.
James

When I am back in Germany, one big topic on my to-do-list is to reactivate my darkroom!
I understand your intention, your imagination and I agree with you.
You have an interesting portfolio in here, worthy to look at.
Kind regards
Matthias

Marcial,
Thank you for your kind comments and critique. I agree with your suggestion. I checked out the negative and the feet plus some extra ground are there... figures. It might not create the effect that you suggest, but it does look better.
Otherwise, I really enjoy your photos and the fact that you are a student of your craft. It's very commendable.
Regards,
Dan
