black and white roads

[Daniel Buck]

The shots aren't recent, but I'm just getting around to working with them. These were all shot while waiting for sunsets, after the first few shots I really enjoyed picking out the roads and shooting them, so I went back and shot the last one intentionally. The first two were on a foggy day, so that kind of adds to the atmosphere.

Tthe 2nd one has alot of defocused forground in the image, which kind of adds to the image I think. For discussion sake and hearing others opinions, I'd like to hear some comments or opinions on this :)

The first two have a dreamy look them that I like. the third one doesn't talk to me..

[John Thawley]

Hmmmm... I like the second.

In the first one, the shallow DOF seems to be forced on me. Perhaps if the angle were much lower it would work... at this angle it's like the blurred line in a pair of bifoculs.

The third one is an excellent shot... just seems there's a component missing. I think if the road ran out of the picture in the lower corner?... don't know.

Second one is cool.

That first shot looks amazing nice quality

#1 is a eye catcher to me. The closer look doesn't make me feel like it is missing a component - which is what I feel with #2 & #3.

Nics images DB! I think the foreground looks over done a bit in #1...how much of that is post? #2 is very nice. Very dreamy..the grain adds a bit of drama to my eye. #3 is cool, but it looks too set up to me. The filled expansion cracks are cool...just seems like...hmmm...something is missing? Maybe a red C4S turning and burning...or better yet a black Mustang GT? lol. I always love your work!

the only post work is the black and white conversion, and the grain. The blur is Canon 135 2.0
