I tried to make some shots in a timeless fashion in Jordan. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks!

By the way, how do you make a link active?

If you click on the top right of this page (and most pages on this site), it says "user FAQ" click on this link and it will tell you how to make it active - i'ld make them active, but since you want to know how i'll let you do that on this thread. I like your pictures by the way... they are great travel shots.

Wonderful portfolio, Wolfgang. I have really enjoyed your photographs. The scans seem full of detail on a computer screen. The prints must be exceptional. You seem to have captured what light was there very well with each of your shots. The subjects are well-chosen and well-framed. I would need 1000 rolls of film to return home from a trip with so many good shots. I especially liked the "portraits" of the town and the shot of the town square. The boy leading the camel is also great. While I usually dislike the perspective of a 21mm lens, you got some good results with that also. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent! No other comments...

Hi

I particularly like the street scene and the boy pulling the camel. But all photo's seem to have the right tonation (which is for some reason a bit too dark on my screen). They are certainly far above the tourist standard shot :-). You have a good eye for shots

Thank you all for the encouraging comments!

Wow, Wolfgang,

These stand out. Any technical data on equipment, film, darkroom or scanning technique...? Thanks for sharing.

-- Lutz Konermann (lutz@konermann.net), April 18, 2002.

Great work Wolfgang! I second Lutz' request for some technical info.

Wolfgang, stunning work, great compostions. I love the brown tone of these photos. Did you use any filters? I'd say you've earned your camera kit on these. Keep up the great work. Sincerely

Very nice work. Image 707469 is especially nice. Wonderful twilight. This image reminds me of betnlehem, or some other middle eastern city. The edges appear dark than the center of the image. This really help hold the attention and keeps the viewer wondering about life in this small vilage.

Image 707458 is also very appealing. I love images that draw you into them. Images that make you so interested that you find yourself searching and writing your own story. The accent of light in the background brings a strong quality to this image. This image coupled with 707469 would be very complementing. Each have areas with very subdued light and an area of intense light.

Good job!

Outstanding! Is this near the ancient Edomite city of Petra? I think that is also in Jordan, and is spectacular. That & the Pyramids are top of my list of places to go before I cash in.

Some fantastic work. Makes me want to shoot B&W.

-- Kristian (leicashot@hotmail.com), April 18, 2002.

Thank you all for your encouraging comments. I used Kodak T-max film, developed by some commercial lab. Scanned with Mikrotec Artix Scan 4000, and adjusted in Photoshop 6.0. Hope this helps. If you need additional information, please contact me any time. W.

Very very nice work. What more can I say. Also very nice use of the 21. It never once calls attention to itself. Thats not easy to do without SLR viewing of the result and possible strange distortions. Show use more anytime.
