Praise: Great Composition, and interesting material
Abuse: I think your images are either too contrasty or not contrasty enough. In other words, you need a wider range of tones.

Trittium,
Thanks for the comments. I think the contrast part is my lack of photoshop ability.
I have been having the negs developed and scanned then trying to work in photoshop. I also have been jumping around the film spectrum from Tmax 400 to 3200 to Fuji 1600 to Kodak BW400CN trying to find the "right" film for what I want to capture.
Again, I appreciate the comments.

No problem. If you want to adjust the contrast while sill preserving your range of tones, I suggest the curves adjustment. You can probably find a place online to describe how it works. Or just mess with it and see what happens. I find it to be the most usefull adjustment tool for photos.

Why do so many people on the web spell "divine" as "devine"?
Oh, yes, the pics need help too...
Most need some serious PS work (although the bridge shot probably needs the "round file"). As someone mentioned - use Curves or even Levels after doing a Threshold to determine your B and W points.

Thanks, RJ.
I've been taking a class in PS and have learned a few "basic" tools.
I'm kind of new here - are there any "rules to the road" I should know about?
Regards,

You're night shots need some work, both those and the bridge shot are really grainy. You're portraits of Mel at the bottom of the page are a little contrasty. The last one seems washed out. The portraits of the dog are very good. Some say you posted to many of the same dog, but I say if you like the dog why not, this isn't an art gallery exhibit. The picture from ComFest of the two holding hands isn't contrasty enough. The disco balls picture is also very washed out. Besides some of the technical problems such as exposure, I really like your pictures. I think you're composition is fantastic! It's a good start.

I would like to thank all for their thoughts and input. As stated, I have no idea what I am doing in photoshop, but I am looking to take some type of class. I think we should all take a "That which does not kill us makes us stroger attitude" when it comes to everything on this board.
Thanks again,
Matt...

If you want some abuse, forget about the defender 90 and get a 1971 Series IIa like I did. On the other hand, you are on the right track with french bulldogs 😀
