Miller's Court Sun/Shadow Study

[Ginger]

I note that the bricks on the side wall where the door to #13 is situated all cast shadows, and quite sharp-looking ones. The joins between those bricks can't be all that deep, yet those are well-defined shadows. I'd have to wonder if the contrast wasn't manipulated to bring out details in the photo. Alternately, maybe the photographer just got lucky, and there were a few minutes of near-sunshine, even though the Met office says 100% cloud cover.

In any event, an interesting discourse, and the sort of thing I'd like to see more of. Thanks!

And I said "Burning in" earlier but of course we are talking about shadow so it would have to be "Dodging".

Hello GUT,

Just as a thought- would there be any effect concerning any amount of time in the producton of the print from glass plate and the conditions under developing said print itself?

kind regards

G'day Phil

I doubt that degradation of the plate would be the cause. But I have seen some unexpected things in prints.

Flash isn't out of the question, but it would have been a mercury taper I suspect and I doubt that it would produce that we are seeing.

G'day Richard

I know a little about photography and almost nothing about computer modelling.

Have you tried including a floodlight?

Also could the above the doorway arch be a result of "burning in" during printing, personally I doubt it, but it's just a thought.

Hello Richard,

This work has impressed me and your knowledge of camera work and light combined has, like GUT, got me thinking.

Many thanks

Phil

[GUT]

Well done Richard, now I've got think.

[Wickerman]

Again, well done Richard.

Over the past week or so I have been studying MJK1 in an attempt to establish what time of the day MJK1 photograph was taken. I've written the experiment up on my blog. There's quite a bit to read which is why I haven't posted it all on this thread. But you can read it HERE

I might put it all into a YouTube video at some point.

I'd appreciate your suggestions and feedback etc.

thanks
