Large Format Photography Australia

been a while going with 5½ x 14 inches for a while, really enjoying this format. I'm just using the inserts that go in my 11x14 plate holder. I'm hoping to get about a dozen of these panoramas together of nice classic Tasmanian landscapes for a more solid body of work to exhibit. I just got a great ...

Really great landscapes. Timeless. Love it.

Correct Gary. You head out past Hayes/Hamilton/Ouse and there is a little gravel road that juts off to the North and cuts through the pastures into Bothwell.

When I brought it home and heated it up and poured the varnish over it, all that burning around the top right hand corner appeared. I think I know now ...

I will never get tired of your snow gums Maris.

Thanks guys. Maris I still vividly remember your words when I visited your home in Noosa a few years ago when I was still only curious about the collodion process. You said "it's not hard, but it's hard to do WELL" While i make no claim to be great, i still echo those same words when peopl...
