| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Taken on a train platform coming back from Long Island, this is my girlfriend Jordana.
I thought the backdrop of the train and emptiness of a late evening made for a nice composition.
I let my lady title this one herself actually. ha ;)
I realize there is some "lens distortion" JP if you want to make a note here on how to correct for that I'd be interested to reading up on it again (or just give a link to a previous discussion). |

Nice shot. It is one of the cleanest looking subway stations I have seen in a long time. Looks very steril because of the lighting and metal surfaces. I like your girl's expression. I think it was a good idea to get the train in the background.
As for the lens distortion that is just what happens with most lenses when you use it on the widest angle. Expensive lenses try to correct this but in most cases I kind of like it. Not that bad here really.
So if you want to eliminate it I would say zoom in and step back.
Hope that helps. JP
Nice B&W!
One thing Though, I might not have put her in the center of the frame, but is good anyhow.
BTW Richard W/S looks great too!

Hi Daniel,
Nice shot of a very pretty lady. The shot checks out pretty well. There is the issue of the barreling from your lens like you mentioned on the note. But, I'd say get used to it. ;P This is one of the reasons why portrait work is done on that 70mm to 90mm range. However, I have seen some people take pics on wide angle that made it work. Say, there was this one image of a boxer...and the photographer took his portrait...the wide angle distortion made his hands look huge! And being that his subject was a boxer, it was fitting to stress his hands.
Now, now...I didn't want to leave you high and dry without some remedy to your distortion issue. So, I attempted a WS. I used the perspective tool to try and straighten up the wall...it's not perfect...but, if you take time using other methods you could do it. Anyhow...good work.
Take care.
Richard
