St Marys Hill, Stamford, Lincs. UK … Stamford architecture is one of my current photography projects - there is a wealth of interesting subjects to document. This view of St Marys Hill with the church tower and steeple on the crest was taken on a cloudy 2 February using a Sony A7S and Leica R 19mm Mk II, handheld, leaving sufficient space around the buildings to enable post processing perspective correction. ISO 800 f11 1/1600sec. The church was built in the 12th C; the tower was added in the 13th C., and topped with the magnificent spire in the 14th C. The spire is now 700 (ish) years young and was strengthened /renovated in the 18th C. and again in 1913. Unfortunately St Marys bells have not rung since 1917 due to bell tower H&S issues but subject to current structural survey and refurbishment and £funds could be ringing again soon.

"Robert of Mull" - Came across this interesting chap scything grass just outside Salen on Mull recently. Believe this or not he's a Buddhist mathematician and inventor!! Leica SL, 24-90 set at 90mm, ISO 125, 1/160, f8
Cordoba Mezquita Capilla Mayor Coro taken with a Leica M9 and 28mm Summicron. Converted to black and white because of the tricky lighting. This is a Catholic Cathedral built inside a mosque.
WOW! Several contenders this month thus likely will be close-run top several images.
ReplyDeleteAlan - nice image that reminds me of my childhood.
ReplyDeleteBill - good to see something different,glass backlit by gels?
Duncan - well executed and processed,it would normally have a bald sky?
Elaine - well exposed and tells a story.
Keith - great sky which may be could be improved by some cropping.
Malcolm - FP4 (remember it well) a well exposed and presented great railway shot.
Mike B - yes colourful and dynamic.
Mike E - more good monochrome relying on a good negative.
Michael M - nice juxtaposition.
Phil - slightly sinister!
Rob - easy to get exposure wrong but you didn’t.
Shaun - lovely image from a well exposed negative.
Sky - again may be some cropping would improve a good image.
Theadore - I recently visited Alhambra but missed this,excellent!
Tony - great portrait of an interesting character.
William - I also visited the the Mesquita recently and I know how difficult this lighting was,great!
1) Alan "Anticipation!" The colour balance is unusual but pleasing nonetheless. It would have been better if the little boy was making eye contact with the camera (difficult whilst he’s driving I know) and maybe it would benefit if the picture was not as closely cropped.
ReplyDelete2) Bernd - No photo this month
3) Bill "The Golfer" This looks a bit soft focus to me Bill and not quite sharp enough.
4) David F - No photo this month
5) David K - No photo this month
6) Dennis Chai stall in the SS Hogg market - Kolkata. I like this shot, it is nice and atmospheric. I like the steam rising from the cooking pot and the chef in action pouring a coffee, a great first posting.
7) Duncan St Marys Hill, Stamford, Lincs. UK . Black and White works well for this scene and overall I like it but I am not so sure the perspective crop. The church steeple at the top of the hill looks quite odd and twisted and the row of buildings to the right are quite unusual to my eye. I don’t however have a 19mm lens so maybe this is as far as software correction will allow with such a wide angle?
8) Elaine A wonderful evening . Is that St Marks Square in Venice Elaine? It would have been lovely to see it full of life with lots of people and the shops etc. open but it is a nice image late at night.
9) Keith "Last light" A lovely scene of the sky and the setting sun. It makes me yearn for a summer holiday somewhere warm and relaxing.
10) Malcolm “Moving off” The bygone subject is further enhanced by the use of 35mm film, B&W, the camera and the lens all making for a very nice result.
11) Mike B Triangles. The colours work really well on this fine architectural shot.
12) Mike E Refuelling stop. Perfect medium to capture such a fine example of British motorcycling’s best. Nothing in the photo makes it anything other than a convincing period photo.
13) Michael M The reflections on the panes are interesting, well observed.
14) Phil Harlech Castle A dramatic scene with the castles ominous silhouette
set against a moody sky and mountains. I would have been interested to see if the photo still worked with the shadows lifted a little.
15) Rob "Skywards" Nice lighting/exposure on another fine architectural shot in this months submissions.
16) Shaun Whitby Dusk: Mine
17) Sky "Clouds over Hampton Court Palace" The Wedgewood blue sky contrasts nicely against the gathering Cumulus clouds
18) Theodore This photo has worked out very well especially considering all the technical issues you had to consider/overcome.
19) Tom - No image this month
20) Tony"Robert of Mull" An interesting character nicely captured against a non-invasive background giving a pleasing result.
21) William Cordoba Mezquita Capilla Mayor Coro. Your 28mm lens is perfect for this capture. I really like the dark blacks in the lower half of the photo and the almost pencil drawing quality of the upper and lighter half of the photo.
1 Alan ‘Anticipation!’ A memorable and colourful family album photo but unfortunately the lad’s eyes are not in focus and the car‘s front is ‘missing’. Not an easy subject.
ReplyDelete3 Bill ‘The Golfer’ 11/10 for innovative creativity Bill and proof that a little planning and £low budget apparatus can produce an outstanding result. An image to be proud of and which would likely sell repeatedly via a stock photo agency.
6 Dennis ‘Chai stall in the SS Hogg market’ Welcome to Circle D Dennis and thank you for the excellent photo … I’ve poured another cuppa as makes me feel thirsty! Difficult exposure well handled and super result with great atmosphere.
8 Elaine ‘A wonderful evening …’ Well exposed nocturnal image Elaine but not very exciting or ‘wonderful’ to the viewer due to empty tables and people walking away with no faces visible.
9 Keith ‘Last Light’ Pleasing composition but the lighting is not sufficiently ‘dramatic’ … prefer to see more visible sunset and colours at this time of day.
10 Malcolm ‘Moving off’ Different and difficult steam locomotive image. Unfortunately the eyes and face are not sharp but the visible steam conjures up good atmosphere … so I can imagine ‘hearing’ the locomotive.
11 Mike B ‘Triangles’ I started counting the triangles … lots! Well seen graphic image and nicely exposed – potential architectural calendar photo.
12 Mike E ‘Refuelling stop 1936 Brough Superior …’ Excellent record shot of the Rolls Royce of motorcycles … and by an expert who knows more than a thing or two about motor cycle photography. Super image which proves the longevity and quality of prewar Leica cameras and lenses.
cont’d …
13 Michael M ‘I took this in Liverpool …’ Michael, a proper title could convey more. Attractive reflections but the sky is rather uninteresting and appears slightly overexposed. The centre tower building appears overexposed and there’s a lack of shadow detail in the piers … Highlights and shadow detail could be easily corrected to good effect in PP.
ReplyDelete14 Phil ‘Harlech Castle’ Unfortunately the shadow detail in the foreground walls is very lacking … maybe this was the intention but would likely be more interesting pictorially if wall detail / texture was present.
15 Rob ‘Skywards’ Well exposed and framed and good dynamics but there are so many similar images … thus lacks that ‘scarcity’ and ‘box office’ factor.
16 Shaun ‘Whitby Dusk’ Maybe not the best view from the chosen camera position. There are interesting harbor mouth piers and sea to the right which could maybe have been included … and the horizon highlight detail could be enhanced by toning down slightly in PP.
17 Sky ‘Clouds over Hampton Court Palace’ Picturesque clouds but unfortunately the image lacks sharpness – especially the boat – and the whole image appears slightly ‘left tilted’. Correct the tilt by 1º, darken the sky to enhance the clouds, lighten the shadows slightly, and apply a little sharpening for a much improved photo (I could not resist trying the corrections in PS)
18 Theodore ‘Alhambra ceiling Spain’ The patterns and detail are not sufficiently sharp; a difficult low light subject to attempt and successfully photograph.
20 Tony ‘Robert of Mull’ Wonderful character study nicely exposed and interesting story … but would like to see the missing elbow.
21 William ‘Cordoba Mezquita Capilla Mayor Coro’ I like the dynamics, symmetry and framing but the highlights and shadows details could be significantly improved/enhanced to good effect with a little PP
There are several images this month which would benefit from shadows and highlights details being enhanced/improved via post processing.
The light is often so good at this time of year and I’m trying to work with it (overcast clouds permitting) before TLS Annual Exhibition entries‘ closing date is upon us.
Wishing you all good springtime imaging.
Regards from dunk
EDIT: Rob, Your 'Skywards' image is the same as submitted in May 2016?
ReplyDelete"There are several images this month which would benefit from shadows and highlights details being enhanced/improved via post processing. "
ReplyDeleteThat certainly applies to mine Dunk. I was very disappointed with the post which seems to have 'lost' something in the export and post operation. Unless of course I posted the wrong version, which has been known!
1 Alan. You have captured the look of concentration of the boy’s face really well, perhaps he is eyeing up his next target. On the downside it is (or rather it appears to be) very static for what is presumably a fast moving subject. I like the contrast of the warm tones of the ride and the cool blues beyond.
ReplyDelete2 Bernd. No image.
3 Bill. Full marks for creativity and imagination. The red and green filters give the figure added vitality. It must have been quite something to see it projected onto the town centre wall.
4 David F. No image.
5 David K. No image.
6 Dennis. Welcome Dennis. A good steamy picture from you to start off with. Great atmosphere and a great character, not so sure about the tea but five varieties of toast is intriguing.
7 Dunc. The dull conditions have not done you any favours here and the image is rather flat. As part of the project on the town it would be fine (especially with a touch of sparkle), on its own I’m not so sure.
8 Elaine. All credit for trying a nighttime shot and it is an impressive square with all the columns lit up. I find my eye wandering without settling on anything in particular and the empty tables worry me - where is everybody?
9 Keith. A nice gentle combination of blues and greys relieved by the last touch of pink as the sun sets and the lights come on in the towns across the water. Very restful and peaceful, a good one.
10 Me.
11 Mike B. I like the careful framing of this with lines rising from the two bottom corners and the corner of the canopy just touching the top edge and forming the triangles. It looks a depressing place to live and work!
12 Mike E. You got into the spirit of the times. A strange beast the f2.5 Elmar but good to see a proper camera in use.
13 Michael M. Modern architecture is a photographer’s dream - no need to worry about converging verticals any more. Yes the reflections are good especially in the glass wall. White tower a shade burnt out?
14 Phil. The lack of light on the curtain wall makes this feel very gloomy overall but without the menace that a castle might project. There is nothing to be done about the light on the day so perhaps a substantial crop to the base would help?
15 Rob. As Dunc says it is remarkably similar to the May 2016 image (but taken with a different camera and lens). Another depressing place to live and work.
16 Shaun. The steps at Whitby always make a good subject - even in the February dusk. The dark building on the left and rough grass on the right hold the sides in and concentrate the view over the rooftops and harbour to the to the buildings on the far side. Interesting to see a new film being used.
17 Sky. The eye is led out of the frame by the boat on the left and by the bank on the right - with very little in between to hold the interest. Is 24mm the best focal length to use to photograph the Palace from this viewpoint?
18 Theodore. There is a three dimensional effect to this (it may very well BE three dimensional?). Despite the darkness you have managed to achieve near perfect symmetry and to get the ceiling square on. Is it really suited to a monochrome shot, would colour do it more justice?
19 Tom. No image.
20 Tony. A modern day Old Father Time. A first rate portrait full of character. Sufficient detail in the background to set the scene without distracting from the face. The scythe suggests just a little about his way of life but that may or may not be misleading.
21 William. It really does look to be tricky lighting, dark at the base, light at the top and lighter still in the middle. A little more detail in the shadow areas if it could be squeezed out of the original image would lift it enormously.
Keith

The focus on the lads face seems a little “soft”, which detracts to much for me.

Welcome to Circle D and thank you for joining the ‘commenters’!
A super image with great atmosphere.
7. Duncan
Lovely image with interesting perspective and you have done an excellent job on the verticals.
8. Elaine
Does the ‘wonderful evening’ relate to a personal memory? The splash of blue catches the eye, and could this be reduced?
9. Me
10. Malcolm
Great shot beautifully capturing the moment. FP4 rated at 200ASA used to be my favouite.
11. Mike B
Excellent composition and the colours work so well together - less is more.
12. Mike E
A true ‘period piece’. Bet the BP pump had a nice globe on top which would be good to see.
13. Michael M
Very much like the ‘strong’ buildings standing out, and again the colours working well.
14. Phil
This image gets better with size where the forground seems to ‘work’ better. Interesting composition.
15. Rob
Very nice.
16. Shaun
Nice shot but the light not helping you.
17. Sky
Think I would prefer to see more clouds and less of the grey river.
18. Theodore
Technically very good from what you describe. Thoughtful composition.
19.Tom
20.Tony
Fabulous portrait. Great image in all respects.
19. William
Looks an interesting building, and a shot where the dynamic range of the digital sensor helps over film with the contrast range.

ReplyDelete'It looks a depressing place to live and work!'
Maybe it's just me but I find Canary Wharf an exciting and vibrant place. Living or working there may of course draw a different perspective.
1) Alan
ReplyDeleteNice snap-one for the family album and proves just how good the C is-same sensor AS THE DL 6 I UNDERSTAND
2)
N/A
3) Bill
Superb technically and love the sense of movement
4 and 5) N/a
6) Dennis
Very atmospheric and beautifully rendered-great piece of reportage/travel-good work Dennis
7) Duncan
Stunning rendition, great composition and technically excellent-a very difficult composition to get right in terms of perspective and depth of field but Duncan has nailed it. The R19mm is one of the great Leica lenses and Duncan makes excellent use of it. Good work.
8) Elaine
Superb shot particularly in such low light. Very atmospheric and evocative with great composition.Excellent work Elaine
9) Keith
Beautiful in every way and a tricky subject and difficult light. I may have gone for a longer focal length to capture the lights in the buildings on the left but still a great shot.
10) Malcolm
Malcolm is the master of these evocative shots and this one is no exception . Even more so as this is from a film negative which makes it even more evocative for me as FP4 was my film of choice. Good work and should be published in one of the specialist railway/steam transport magazines-it's certainly good enough.
11) Mike
Very well composed and rendered difficult shot with verticals and angles made excellent use of-well done-love the colours too and how sky is rendered
12) Mike E
Great shot from a wonderful historic set up of an historic machine. Love the tone and grain - good work Mike
13) Michael M
Very well composed and excellent technically too-also a lovely piece of art-shame about clouds or lack of but good shot all the same.
14) Phil
This a truly magnificent shot in every way-so evocative and works so well in black and white too-great use of shadows and the clouds exposed perfectly. Great work.
15) Mine
16) Shaun
Beautiful landscape with loads going on-I really like it. Use of film always impresses me as so much can go wrong in the long process compared with digital.Love the tone and grain-nice work Shaun.
17) Sky
Beautiful shot of a truly iconic location-beautifully composed and rendered particularly the way the clouds are rendered. Great work-well done.
18) Theodore
Lovely subject and interesting too BUT looks a bit out of focus. I still like it aesthetically but I question it technically although I applaud the use of the R8 and the difficult conditions.
19) Tom N/a.
20) Tony
Beautifully composed portrait which tells its own story. Well rendered too with nice use of depth of field. Good work Tony.
21) William
Absolutely superb in every way-subject, composition, technically and so evocative-a very difficult set of conditions from which William produced something really special. Superb work-veery well done William.
1) Alan - Anticipation: An opportunistic shot which sadly lacks that critical sharpness in the face. It looks a little flat on my screen.
ReplyDelete2) Bernd - No photo
3) Bill - The Golfer: I admire your patience and creativity which has been rewarded with a very different image.
4) David F - No photo
5) David K - No photo
6) Dennis - Chai Stall: A very enjoyable image.
7) Duncan - St Mary’s Hill: Lovely monochromatic tones but I can understand the other comment regarding distortion.
8) Elaine - A wonderful evening: I’m going to have to agree with the others Elaine. Well exposed but sadly lacking in excitement.
9) Keith - Last Light: I think you could usefully lose the left hand third and maybe a little off the top of this image Keith to give more emphasis on the sunset colours.
10) Malcolm - Moving Off: It is a little soft and maybe framed a bit too tightly but very evocative nevertheless.
11) Mine
12) Mike E - Refuelling Stop: A delightful image but given the title I think I would have preferred to see the top of the pump.
13) Michael M - Liverpool: Although you have included the full reflections of the buildings in the water I don’t think you need them. A crop to lose most of the water would have placed more emphasis on the architecture and colourful reflections.
14) Phil - Harlech Castle: There is some interesting play of light and shade in the lower walls which is lost in the shadows Phil, although all the detail is there. Maybe some judicious use of the clarity adjustment would help. Have you tried cropping some from the left of the image to move the tower from the centre?
15) Rob - Skywards: I think this image would work well with a dramatic mono conversion as there really isn’t a great deal of colour in it. I might also be tempted to try a crop at the bottom to lose that soffit.
16) Shaun - Whitby Dusk: I’m not sure you have made the best of your location here Shaun.
17) Sky - Clouds over Hampton Court: There is probably more water in this shot than clouds Sky. I would be inclined to get rid of most of it by losing the bottom quarter or so of the image.
18) Theodore - Alhambra ceiling: The necessity for flash has rather flattened the image of this interesting ceiling
19) Tom - no photo
20) Tony - Robert of Mull: A lovely portrait of an interesting character but he is very tight in the frame losing some context as well as his elbow.
21) William - Cordoba: My own preference would have been to lift the shadows and tone down the upper regions to better balance the tones but the framing is spot on.
1. Alan: “ Anticipation” .
ReplyDeleteLovely shot of a young dodgem driver getting ready for the off.
2. Bernd: No photo.

I have the 65mm Elmar but have only used it with period film cameras. Congratulations on the innovative use of the lens.
4. David F: No photo
5. David K: No photo.
6. Dennis: Chai Stall.
Welcome to the circle, Dennis. This is a very nice shot with the steam and pouring action adding to the atmosphere.
7. Duncan: St Marys Hill, Stamford.
Nice black and white streetscape. Perspective is very well maintained.
8. Elaine: Wonderful Evening.
The night lighting in the square is well captured.
9. Keith: “ Last Light”.
The fading light is very well captured.
10. Malcolm: “ Moving Off”
Lovely shot. The chap on the left leaning out really makes the picture.
11. Mike B: Triangles Canary Wharf.
Nice composition made out of building elements.
12. Mike E: 1936.
A great photo taken with a Leica from my favourite era. Nothing made by Leica today is as nice as those cameras.
13. Michael M: Liverpool.
More great building shapes and reflections.
14. Phil: Harlech Castle.
Lovely moody landscape from Snowdonia. I really like the sky treatment.
15. Rob: Skywards.
A third great building photo with very interesting shapes.
16. Shaun: Whitby Dusk.
A lovely composition from a famous historical location.
17. Sky: Clouds over Hampton Court Palace.
Lovely clouds in this tranquil scene.
18. Theodore: Alhambra Ceiling.
Nice detail captured in the dark.
19. Tom: No photo
20. Tony: Robert of Mull.
Nice connection with the subject. Nice composition too.
21. William: Mine.
1. Alan (Anticipation): Interesting action shot at 640 ISO, but the little C performs.
ReplyDelete2. Bernd (no photo):
3. Bill (The Golfer): If you are running a course on glassware photography this must be exhibit A. Impressive rendering, but I’m glad you explained the glassware angle.
4. David F (no photo):
5. David K (no photo):
6. Dennis (Chai stall): Nicely composed and shot at the decisive moment. I like the overall colour treatment and the steam to the left which adds atmosphere to the scene.
7. Duncan (St.Mary’s Hill): Evocative architectural shot that certainly benefits from the B&W treatment. Great tones and composition.
8. Elaine (Evening): Impressive shot of (Piazza San Marco?). The exposure is spot on, with the street lighting not too intrusive.
9. Keith (Last light): Atmospheric sunset shot, well composed. Would have been good to know where it was taken, though.
10. Malcolm (Moving off): I love Malcom’s railway work and this is a great example. Action, steam, concentration — it has everything.
11. Mike B (Triangles): Great use of angles to show off the modern architecture of Canary Wharf; something of a direct contrast with Duncan’s Stamford shot. Impressive sharpness and colour rendering from the Voigtländer.
12. Mine. Ah, if I did own an f/2.5 Elmar I could put out my unicorn to the rest home and live in luxury.
13. Michael M (Liverpool): I too like the angles of the buildings and the water reflections. A well-seen composition.
14. Phil (Harlech Castle): Broody landscape that works well, with the dark foreground offer with the distant mountains. A really nice composition.
15. Rob (Skywards): Is this Canary What again? You don’t say. But, again, I love the angles and perspective. Well exposed shot capturing impressive detail.
16. Shaun(Whitby Dusk): An unusual perspective on Whitby, a town with impressive photo opportunities. This is well seen and captured, especially bearing in mind the slow shutter speed. I like the B&W tones.
17. Sky (Clouds over Hampton Court): Arresting cloud formation. Living on the banks of the Thames, as I do, I tend to do river shots to death. But I would be proud of this composition. A really nice landscape.
18. Theodore (Agfa Scala): I’m a bit lost on this one. A good B&W shot but I’m missing some context.
19. Tom (no photo):
20. Tony (Robert of Mull): This is a great portrait, well composed and executed through the versatile 24-90 of the SL.
21. William (Cordoba): I like the composition, with the symmetrical lines leading to the alter, but the contrast between the lighter half of the picture is too great for my liking. The ceiling and windows have an almost HDR effect, while the lower half of the scene is almost lost in shadow.
1) Alan - Searching for his next victim maybe? Unavoidable but the background is a bit distracting.
ReplyDelete3) Bill - Interesting result and good to read the process to achieve the shot. Very dynamic.
6) Dennis - Great shot for your opening blow, looking forward to see what follows!! Well captured composition and perfectly exposed.
7) Duncan - Lovely lead in with the road and sweep of the diminishing buildings ending up with the spire.
8) Elaine - Last time I was there the water was 12" deep over the square! I'm finding the tables a tad distracting but nicely exposed shot.
9) Keith - Plenty of sky and some great colouring on the RH side, think I might have cropped it to a panorama and lost the top third of the image.
10) Malcolm - Great shot with the M2, the slight vignette keep the eye on the action.
11) Mike B - Without seeing the title, triangles were the first things that struck me about the shot. I like how the blue in the sky compliment the window colouring.
12) Mike E - Perfect retro shot and pin sharp from the great little Elmar, a lovely combination.
13) Michael - Some very good colour in the reflections, the sky and white central building could do with dropping back a touch I feel.
14) Phil - I'm finding the lower third a little heavy for the rest of the scene with the delicate lighting on the mountains in the background I'm afraid.
15) Rob - Pin sharp right the way through, bet that wasn't at f1.4!!
16) Shaun - The shot gives a great feel of the place having visited there myself last year, funnily enough with an M6 too. Great tones and well processed.
17) Sky - Some lovely cloud detail and the river looks to be in full flow.
18) Theodore - An interesting uniform pattern, well focussed considering you were in the dark.
20) Mine
21) William - Certainly a picture of two halves, the brightly lit side areas draw the eye through to the central 'sculpture' and on to the fine detail on the back wall.
