Looks like a gem of a photo posted here! Your fine composition offers us a good look at your cinema. Where in the world would it be? Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

It is always nice to have a photo of something with such dear memories, and you have indeed pictured this movie theatre well. I especially like the change to black and white, and also your POV including the two lamp poles on each side.

The photo is pin sharp with such clear and well defined details, and the exposure is perfect.

The format and framing is working well, and I think it is a good balance in the composition. Indeed a great looking and well taken photo Jack, and with a very good DOF.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia


So it must have been there for 70 to 80 years already!

A journey down memory lane.
A retro feel with this vintage image.

Monochromatic nostalgia...
Melancholic sentiments.

Sharply focused...
Subtly lit.
Nicely framed.

Thanks!

Nice shot of this old place. We have one that looks a lot like this. It is now being used as a spot local people come in and sing or perform their talents. People come and pay admission to see. It is good to show historic places like this!

I like the black and white for this one, it does support the age, this is well focused, the image is clear, exposure is well managed, the black and white shows good tonal variations. Well composed and presented! It sounds like you have many memories here!

Interesting history and yes, we, also had a local movie center, we used to go by foot (about 2km) and also paid almost nothing, nice to remember good things

good focus and excellent use of sepia

thanks for sharing
