Swordfish, you're a nice guy and all but you need to quit doing that.

And now, an honest comment: The sky is very much blown out and really kills the quality of the image. This happens when you have light source more directly in front of you, a common mistake but usually can be easily avoided just by shooting with the light source behind you.

If you have another shot of this from a different angle, I strongly recommend you use it or re-shoot if it's possible. I will hold my vote.

I like that it's different, but quality could be improved.

As a study in "red-tape" this is the epitome of bureaucracy in motion. After being suggested over 20 years ago, accepting 15 bids and being voted on by the town counsel 45 times...it finally came to fruition, $125,000.00 dollars and 22 years later... (5 years and 3473 days ago)

Fountain Pen - created by bartoszwozniak


Fountain Pen
Favs: 0SBS: n/aHi-resRank: 5/41Score: 59.3% (15)21503 views

A black and white image of my fountain pen. I added noise and high contrast, to create an old looking, moody effect.

Hope you like it! (5 years and 3505 days ago)

Very nice close up but noise is just too much for my taste...i think you over did it (imho)!
I all so think that you should use a higher f number.That way you would have a "wider" in focus "clear" surface on the pen!
Over all, personally i "got" the "old" feeling that you wanted to impress & i really like this photo!
Sorry if i am "hard" on you author.
Good luck!

Karaflazz, I agree with you.........author, this has the makings of a great shot, but it has been over done. The noise is just too much for this type of close up shot......a good crisp shot of the face of the nib would have been much better.

author says:

Ok guys, thank you very much for your constructive criticism of course. I have taken note of your tips and of course will use them in the future. I thought that the noise, would just add a stronger sort of effect to the old age image, but if you think that it is overdone...

Like the contrast and noise -- quite effective image

avatar locksmagic

I understand why people are saying that there is too much noise and from a photographers aspect that may be true but, my friend saw this picture just now and loved it because of the "graininess".

I think as photographers we need to evaluate our view of "what is correct" in photography. Is it what we as photographers view as correct or what the "uneducated" public thinks looks nice?

author says:

locksmagic, I guess that everyone has their own taste, and we can not really criticise them for doing so. Some people won't like this image, because it is too noisy and seems "incorrect", while others may find it quite artistic.

It is up to personal preference, and at the end of the day, thats why art is so beautiful - everybody likes different things.

I like the noise for the subject. It fits the old style pen. This would definately not work on a modern pen tip.

avatar FallingHorse

I like the noise in this. It adds to the aged look of the shot.... and I usually dislike noisy shots. Is that a mark on the paper just above the pen nib or do you have dust on your sensor?

author says:

I doubt that it was dust on sensor, because it doesn't show up with such small apertures. However I think that it could be possible a mark on the lens, or a bit of ink on the paper.

Thanks for your comment!
