Putto (2xPiP)

SSC: focus

All photos taken in Stuttgart's Weißenburgpark. On the site of a former villa there is now a park into which some remaining smaller structures are integrated. The putto riding on a snail and the satyr below are from the Art Nouveau period and adorn a terrace.

On the main photo I used f/11 to get the whole putto into focus, the photos in the notes were both taken with a shallower f/5.6 (second inset is clickable).

Many went into the bin;-) I took five alone of the putto, from different angles, in different formats and with different DoF...

Wonderful old statues and carvings Gudrun. Three is a good number and the benches look great with their shadows in b&w!

Gudrun ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

Thank you so much, Rosa! I shot mainly details because of the building work going on in the park (there has been some water damage).

The statues have weathered pretty well over the years...............and you've captured some amazing detail in them Gudrun.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thank you, Keith! The dirty air in town is eating away at them, there's a major road nearby...

I love the series, Gudrun; the first PiP is especially fascinating!

Heide ^club

Das Hauptfoto zeigt den Putto, der auf einer Schnecke reitet, wunderbar klar und scharf.
Sehr fein auch die anderen Details aus dem Park.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Heide ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Heide! Der Park hat tolle Motive, auch wenn ich diesmal um die diversen Sanierungs-Baustellen herumfotografieren musste.

Perfect DOF on main... but my heart beats with the BW one!

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Xata ^club

Thank you so much, Isabel! As a photo I also liked the third one best:-) I chose the first because it was was more of a challenge to focus on, too often in the past I ended up with a sharp ear and unsharp nose or the like;-)

schön - hier läuft grad Tom Waits und da paßt der Satyr perfekt ;-)))

Gudrun ^club has replied to Boarischa Krautmo ^club

Schönen Dank, Markus! Der Satyr hat sicher in den wilden 20er-Jahren so einiges gesehen;-)

all very nice, but I prefer the second pip

Gudrun ^club has replied to Wierd Folkersma ^club

Thanks a lot, Wierd! I agree with you:-) I only chose the others because they posed more of a challenge to focus;-)

The stonework shows the results of weathering in the pitted surfaces - pin sharp. I love the benches photo too, Gudrun.

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thanks very much, Amelia! The stone is local and rather soft, it has suffered quite a bit from the polluted air.

Nice set of photos. The one with the benches I prefer most.

6 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Diederik Santema ^club

Thank you, Diederik! I agree with you there:-) I chose the other because it was more of a challenge for me to get the whole face into focus.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Bruce Dean (Puchinpa… ^club

Thank you, pappy! Any more open and I'd have had the usual problem with important parts of the face out of focus...
