One Subject, One Roll - The Red Bridge
« on: December 30, 2014, 01:37:59 PM »
Hello,

I decided yesterday to have a go at the one subject, one roll excercise. My subject was the "Red Bridge".

The bridge was built in 1789/90 and is located in an English landscape garden (in Britain you would just call it a garden) nearby. The park was built as leasure garden by the Archbishop Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal. The Bishop lost most of his power only a few years later after the French Revolution and the Napoleonic war, but still resided in the castle of Aschaffenburg, where this garden is located. Today still a school and a street and a shoe polish are named after the Bishop.

Excellent, well done. I especially like the sphinx detail, but maybe that's only because I'm viewing these on  small screen. Shall view larger presently.

Well done. Love the contrasting highlights the snow adds to the images.

nicely done indeed. It is a challenge getting that many "keepers" off of one roll.

Thanks a lot for the kind comments!
It is an interesting challange. Normally I only take one or two pictures of a subject and then move to the next. Trying to find different views to fill a complete roll is not so easy (at least to me).

Love the photos and I must say that I think the Sphinx is also my favourite of all of them.

Incidentally, when I suggested the "One Roll, One Subject" idea, I though it would be more of the sort of challenge that Frank mentioned - i.e. difficult to get 6 keepers from one roll.  I hadn't thought that those entering might have difficulty actually filling a roll as they might tend to shoot only two or three photos of a subject and move on. 

Thanks for flagging that up.  Interesting.

Very nice shots. The tonal range is quite long for a snowy day. Good job on these.
