Is this a good photograph?

You used a K2 to lighten the cream colors?

[MartinCrabtree]

No I used it to lighten the flowers I was shooting at the time. The Dog shot was spur of the moment as he never sits still. I barely got the shot off as I'm still working out how to use the Weston meter and I had little time before the dog decided to run around chasing tree seeds flying through the air.

The exposure looks good to me. The Weston seems spot on.

Exposure-wise, shadow and highlight detail are even so it's a bang-on exposure. But Delta 100 reindexed at EI80 is +0.3 stop and likely "lost in translation" during the scan. Movement of ±0.3, ±0.6 would be very noticeable on reversal film but can be inconsequential on negs (much grater latitude), and cheap scans (which often auto-correct) mightn't help. At dog-paw level, I like the image anyhow, despite a heavier bias toward tortoise-shell cats.

And, did you reward the sub-woofer for his patience while you beavered with the Weston?

If you pay to become a subscriber then you can post it in the galleries for comments and tips, etc. Just a suggestion for those who have not yet subscribed. I can highly recommend it.

That's in the works. However haven't not drawn a paycheck in 18 months cash is a rare commodity these days. Thanks everyone for your comments.

And I thought you Aussies spoke English?
