The central triangle is what grabbed me, seeing the scrub and beach in the background looked good. I also thought the compressed calf muscle looks good. Took me a few seconds to wonder about the foliage being so bright, until I thought of infrared film; then I read your notes. I've never used infrar...

The composition with Tom's boat in the foreground and (Thomasina's? ) boat in the background completely capture one's eyes, the crooked horizon was only noticeable to me, because you mentioned it.

Looks dark and foreboding, helped no doubt by the skill of the printer...

Nice one Maris.

For anything that size, you really need to be looking at tray (or dish) washing. Kodak made an automatic tray siphon. This was great as it attaches to a tap for water inlet, and had a siphon for water outlet. The major downside is that you will need to elevate your tray in the sink by about the dept...

This was taken as a set subject, fences or borders, for a monthly assignment in another photographic forum; took me a couple of days looking around wherever I went, then suddenly I see this fence which I walk past going down the backyard to the darkroom. A very long time since using such a wide aper...

John, that, as Maris mentions, is a nicely balanced picture.

Not sure if your father getting smashed by mossies quite sees this image, in the same vein as we do!

I see, that certainly makes sense. I must admit all of the kitchens I was in as a kid in the sticks, didn't have that kind of roof or chimney structure; or at least I don't remember them. My uncle Ted had a bush house and a kitchen out the back, which also housed the copper boiler for washing. I rem...

Love windmills, looks like a 9m tower version, which a lot of Comet windmills used. High enough to get above the scrub, but not really high enough if there was a stand of trees nearby. Nice composition, including one of the pump yard posts in the foreground works for me. Gotta keep stock away from t...

Maris, quite a striking horizontal form especially with that great colour change from the background, it really does stand out.

I suppose that perched lake becomes a parched lake, when it dries out?

Hmm, architecture that I grew up with; love it.

Looks like it is attached to the house/cabin via some kind of timber and tin roofing; bit of a no no that regarding fire to the house prevention.

A nice flat(ish) day allowing you to get shadow detail on the darker sections of the orb iron.
