Roof, Minami Azabu
Comments: 4
Our astonishingly good run of weather may be drawing to an end. The air is thickening and warming. For the first time this year I went somewhere and had to remove my jacket before I reached my destination, it was that warm.
The combination of haze and cloud today made for an almost wan, shadowless light.
This picture is for Jonathan & Sachiko with thanks for a lovely afternoon!

Seems to be like a lizard. I like this one.

Great photo.
This would have been merely a good photo in color, but in B&W it is absolutely stunning.
Well done.

Jeff —-
I often leave those particular friends a glass or two of wine richer than I should which accounts (I hope) for the wonkiness of the picture. It should probably be straightened up so that the horizontals better offset the mass of the tree and the diagonals on the roof.
The other thing I had trouble with and gave up on (for now at least) is the tonality: the wall should be a bit brighter but the tiles need to stay where they are. Looks like a mask is in order, but that tree is going to complicate things a bit.
Glad you liked it, though.

Tonality can be imporved before you take the pic. While shopping for a Canon G5 to perhaps, replace the Nikon FE2, I placed some of my bog-standard analogue filters across the lens and Eureka! - same effects. Red filter = greater contrast, yellow filter toned a potentially ‘blown-out’ blue sky and my favourite orange did the buiness with the clouds, all while the G5 was in B+W mode. Go on all you digiheads, get into the real stuff and try B+W without mucking with Photoshop after the shot has been taken…
