Challenge: Road Signs Re-revisited (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Canon PowerShot A70
Location: Reykjavik/Iceland
Date: Jan 16, 2004
Aperture: 4.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/40
Galleries: Black and White, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Jan 19, 2004

Shot in poor lightning conditions and heavy overcast (living in Iceland this is what you have to learn to live with this time of year). Since the colors where poor I converted it to grayscale and I just gives it a better expression of what I was seeing this morning.

I take it the road floods... fine shot. I love the use of black and white and your focus is perfect. Right where it needs to be to tell the story. 10

Very nice photo here, actually quite like the border. Think it's good because of the subject. Haven't a clue what the sign is though!

Good choice using B&W, the grainy effect is good to. 10

Very nice shot. I wish I could read the sign more clearly though.

I like how the sign leans right in and announces itself. The truck seems to rumble on obliviously - the grittiness and bit of blur add to this feeling. I like the snowy mountain in the distance. Nice frame too.

I cant make up my mind if I like this or not. The sign is well placed in the shot, I have no idea what it says, but it looks interesting. The background of the mountain range is great, and I like the bend of the road. I actually even like the border! The truck gives the scene some movement, but it looks kinda blurry... that said I think that's partly where the mood comes from. I dont want to say it's gritty, and I'm not sure exactly what it is, but... I like it!

Ég held að þú fáir lítið skor frá útlendingum því þeir skilja þetta ekki. En hvar er þessi mynd tekin?
Mjög góð mynd en verst að vörubíllinn er úr fókus

A little bit too soft on the focus for me.

the boarder is the best thing in this picture, although the shot is definately good in its own right
