Posted for Dolph!!!, Road to Swamp, Nikon D70 Posted by Picasa

Hey folks, Dolph just bought a D70!!! Another new Nikonian! This is his first picture with it.

The only things I did to it in Photoshop were to resize it to max 760 pixels on the long side, and a little bit of USM (unsharp mask).

Dolph,

This shot makes good use of 1 point perspective to convey a strong sense of depth (all of the lines converge on a single horizon spot). The element that strikes me the most is the wires coming from the top right because they come into the frame from a slightly "off" angle before they hit the pole. That variation makes an interesting element because everything else travels to uniformly to the vanishing point.

I would like to see more of the road, it feels a little cut off. I think that might be remedied if at least part of it was on the bottom of the frame.

Dolph,

Nice picture! Your choice of black and white and narrow vertical format for this shot served to accentuate the feeling of drama and perspective. Very nicely seen!

I was wondering how you did the b&w with your D70? Does the D70 have a b&w mode?

I'm looking forward to seeing more posts from you now that you're so well equpped!
