Re: Kilcunda Trestle Bridge

Thanks Barry. With regard to centre filters, I have, over the past 30 years or more, been sitting on the fence a bit. I run an 18mm Sigma lens on my Nikon bodies, it has approximately 1 stop fall off in general, and another ¼ of a stop very deep on all four corners. It is livable, but has been a bit...

Kilcunda Trestle Bridge

This picture has been a long time coming, about 40 years. I have never photographed this trestle bridge in a manner that I liked, until this time. I have tried with 35mm with various focal lengths, a 6x6 TLR with one focal length, then finally, this, with a 65mm super wide angle on 4x5”. For some re...

Re: Noosa River, Warning Buoys, Dusk

Hmm, really interesting now. I myself haven't noticed much, if any, image degradation in the past when placing colour correction gels behind the rear element using Blu-Tack that is. But, we were more interested in getting transparencies to dead correct colour for four colour printing. Exposure and p...

Re: Noosa River, Warning Buoys, Dusk

Maris, very interesting, I didn't know you could do this. Do you know if there would be less problems at the edges of the lens if was not a W (wide) coverage lens?

Did you just hold the red filter in front of everything, or place it inside behind the rear elements?

Nice image by the way.

Mick.

Re: Lake Cawndilla

Thanks Shane, I don't know about black snakes, unless you mean Eels, we did however have some little snakes around the camp each evening, not sure where they were headed, but they more or less went along the same route each evening; never saw them in the morning.

I have one or two spare 4x5" ones, but where in this vast continent are you?

Re: Lake Cawndilla

Barry, I was very interested in retaining as much detail in the limbs as possible, until I got home and checked the neg out with a loupe, I wasn't too sure. Luck was riding with me all the way for this shot, by happening to go for another stroll before lunch, to placing my polariser in my bag; norma...

Lake Cawndilla

This was taken at Lake Cawndilla in Kinchega NP NSW in our last summer trip to that region, 2010/2011 I tried a few variations of this tree in my mind before taking this exposure. We were camped very close to this spot so I was able to see when it was going to be more photogenic. I was quite surpris...
