More from Berlin

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

A nice set

#1 is probably too oof on the subject on the right for me (but I'm a bigot about focus) - I'd burn out the distracting bright white reflection in the middle and bottom as well

#2 is a nice capture of everyday life (and boredom :))

#3 probably my favourite

#4 really like this too (but I like indoor architecture shots if anyone hasn't noticed :))

I actually like the light in the centre - almost gives the impression of the divide between the man and woman - almost an unrequited love kind of thing :) Just my 2c worth :)

Why would you be pissed off about having to work to 70 so a bunch of Greeks can retire at 50?

Anyway, I love the first - you have captured something that may or may not have existed, but placed a context that tells a great story.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear that I'm no longer in my black phase :wink:

Isn't that always the case with a decisive moment? :)

HCB would have liked those images.....you have captured the spirit, and the quality, of his classic style. That's no mean feat. Incidentally, what equipment are you using?

Don't ask, because I fear of what he may say and I thusly become green. :mrgreen:

Thanks Matt, that's the biggest compliment I've heard. I'm using an M9 with a Voigtlander 35mm, 50 Summicron and Noctilux, though I'm contemplating getting rid of the Summi since I haven't been using it as much. I've gotten used to the 35mm prime.

Nothing to be green about, I'd still do the same with any camera as long as I could shoot at f2.

True, however, in this world, there are objects which are just beautiful. I can write with a Bic pen, but writing with a Mont Blanc is much nicer.

I thought so. Nice combination. 35mm is my favourite street shooting focal length. It gets you, (and the viewer), involved with the subject. Keep doing that stuff because it's very good.

Absolutely! I love how close I have to get with the 35 to get anything meaningful and there are other times where space means everything. It's trained me to become much quicker in everything. Love this combo and thoroughly recommend it!
