A return to Todmorden again, but this time I haven't been back, I just got a box of colourslides back, and am posting one I took with the rangefinder camera + 135mm lens. This is a wall at the side of a pub and marina on the Rochdale canal in Todmorden, the wall is decorated with these bronze fishes, and I guess the tub is there to help with the river bottom theme, personally I'd like to kick it in the canal, as it intrudes on the cleaness of the wall, the two figures are a little out of focus as I was concentrating on the wall. With a rangefinder you don't have the luxury of seeing what is and isn't out of focus within the viewfinder, except through the split image rangefinder, again it's a wonderful learning process.

Every new photographer should learn how one of the Film cameras work and put at least one film through it.

This is a very interesting shot.  Amazing what people put on walls!

I was here two days ago, looked at that wall and was so wrapped up in what I was seeing, I forgot to post.     That couple seem totally unaware of what's behind them.  Maybe they're just so used to it they don't even notice any more.   

It's probably called love.

 

This is an interesting wall.  I like the fish scattered about.  The tub would be hard to shoot around (and of course the two people for now).

Rangefinders may not show you focus, but they are much more accurate than the usual SLR screen.   I miss my old Pentax Spotmatic F, with it's tiny rangefinder spot in the center of the screen.   I agree about the tub.   Really messes things up.

So....



Let's get it out of there.

Oooh good job well done, I haven't got round to such advanced cloning yet, I'm going to have to go back to Todmorden and reshoot this area.

Great job of cloning, Barbarian.  How much better the scene looks without the tub!   

I like that! Interesting and unusual but cool!!!

I had to look back and forth to see what you did!  Well done.
