Thanks Maris, I must admit I didn't think of William Henry Fox Talbot when I saw this. :o I've had my eye on this house for a while, the newish owners have been giving it the onceover and as soon as I saw the colour scheme, I knew it was going to be a definite subject at some point in time. The owne...

Nothing like putting your toe into the water!

Sorry about that, but I couldn't resist.

The highlights in the water and on the rocks are just wonderful, 1/30th or 1/15 of a second? Whatever, you've managed to get just the right amount of blur, without getting blur; if you know what I mean.

Thanks Maris. I do believe this is one of my better portraits of late. I too was worried about the background, but having the longer lens and being closer to the subject certainly helped. I actually took this in portrait format, but it was too busy, so some quite judicial cropping elevated it rather...

Very interesting choice of trunk section deployed there Maris. You just have enough light from the right direction to emphasise the ripples/wrinkles. Reversing the film back for a downward, or underneath DDS insertion is something I haven't done myself. At least I cannot remember ever doing that; bu...

Brings back memories of the north bound drive on the Hume Highway into Jugiong. As you descended the hill and went round the bend, still descending, one would be greeted with an avenue of Poplar trees, often shrouded in a low lying mist in winter time. I like that you've used portrait mode for this ...

Oscar, I would like to thank you for the time you've given the forum to us; it's been a great ride.

Unfortunately I'm not tech savvy enough to take it on, and although it is a relatively small forum, it's been nice hanging out here.

Thank you Maris, that graduated centre filter makes this lens a treat to work with. I remember the first time I tried out the CGF with the 65mm lens, just looking at the GG was a revelation. As this was done at my Men's Shed location I had one member quite interested in what I was doing after I turn...

This is in an old school and is the crossover hallway that links up two very long lengths of classrooms on either side. I've spoken with an old student and originally there was a roofed section over the footpath which connected the buildings, then it was boarded up on the sides, then that was pulled...
