Twisted #2

I took two shots of this fence wire separator and the associated barbed wire, but can't decide which is better, so I've uploaded both.

    I like the angle in this shot. It's simple yet there's a lot going on. The contrast of smooth + barbed metals and then the fragility of the spider's web (or lint??).

    Great dof!! Instant fave!!

    I prefer the other one David de Groot, but then again this one does have better detail.

    Yes, the details are much better on this one but I prefer the composition of the other one. Great work David, I love barbed wire photos too!!

    I think it was a spiders web Melissa. Yet again, I didn't notice that at the time.

    Thanks Maria :) I'm quite partial to a good barbed wire shot myself ;)

    I agree Tim, I wanted the detail in this one on the other one and then it'd be just perfect, but I guess this is one of the rare times I might have used spot metering if I had it.

    Thanks Jill :) I've come to the same conclusion now that I've had time to reflect on them.

    David do you bracket your exposures?
  • Clearskies Images said:
    I prefer this one I think, though maybe if you had done this in portrait style as well.
    The other is a little too kinda backlit for me, doesn't work as well.
    Just my opinion for what it's worth. :-)

    Nope Tim, just took a punt and shot it. Didn't even check the LCD afterwards (somewhat glary).

    Yep, the backlighting on the other one is a bit of a sticking point, but I like the composition better. Thanks Cecily.

    And what's nice about this one is nice is that the barbed wire is more define.

    Thanks lemank :)

    It's definitely interesting to see how roughly even the spread is between each shot.
