Re: Swamp Sedge, Alexandria Bay

Thanks Mick for your kind words. I got that 21cm Heliar lens for free from Eric Owen the camera repair guy. The compound shutter was bad and the repair quote was high so the original owner (fool?) abandoned it; much to my gain. I cleaned the shutter and it now runs with repeatable but ludicrously in...

Re: Mulga Posts, Sheep Mustering Yards

Thanks Mick . The shadows were the first thing to catch my eye. The second thing was the bright corrugated roof at the top of the scene that was pitched at precisely the glare angle from the afternoon sun. So ignoring the "never crop" rule the roof was eliminated at the printing stage. And...

Re: Lone Sentinal

Nice sentinal (sic) indeed. Nature presents as chaos but there is order in it. Look behind the sentinel. There is a frieze of six trees spaced about equally apart starting frame left and finishing frame right. That cadence elegantly supports the prominence of the big tree. Well seen and subtle, Mick .

Re: Yarrie Lake Billabong and Spoonbills

Nice surprise Mick . No, it's not the composition; that's perfect as usual. The spoonbills are nicely side-on so they look like birds rather than blobs. And the 250mm f6.3 lens delivers an impeccable image. It's the two little white birds lower left that counterpoint the arrangement of the spoonbill...

Re: New Life; Monstera Deliciosa

Good one Mick . That's a masterclass in capturing gradation in specular highlights . Left to themselves they tend to burn out to blank white. There's plenty to look at. Monstera is a visually engaging plant worth putting up with as it tries to take over a garden.. How many photographers would have r...

Re: Llanelly Wheat Silos

What a sculptural composition! And the light tones of the silos are repeated in the whispy clouds of a very nice sky. Mick , I think I see a famous distortion achievable only with an ultra-wide lens like your 65mm. A circle imaged in the centre of the frame is rendered round but placed toward the ed...
