Thanks for that Maris, I seem to remember reading that before; perhaps from a link you gave somewhere on the world wide web?

Regardless, worth a re-read anyway.

Almost a Monolith with child...

Perfect angle to get the right amount of light on the monolith, while the child is the brightest part of the image so you immediately go there and from there, your eyes roll around the monolith.

Looks like a windy day, grass looks a bit soft, or is that focus?

Thank you Maris, as for rebirth, not quite the same thing, but my goddaughter who was born and bred just down the road from this swamp in Thoona, had her third child today in nearby Wangaratta. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!

Shawn, hello and welcome to the forum. I haven't used it with C41 film as I don't use colour film much these days. As for it being strange that some people don't use the internet, well there are plenty of people who have difficulties, including my friend who is legally blind, is in his eighties and ...

Very nice Maris, like Barry I prefer sharp contrasty stuff. However in this instance I think you have the right balance with a soft enough rendering that still holds much detail.

I'm sure your subject is happy with the results.

If I had turned the film back to landscape mode, then I would have almost all black on the right and...

Barry, quite accessible as they are only around 250m from the car park, I walked in to check out the scene, then walked back to the truck and brought the camera back in with bag bellows already attached. I had already worked out the 65mm would be the lens, the main rocks are about 1m from the camera...

Maris, certainly a captivating image of a fallen and presumably dead bit of bush.

Almost a plant version of Medusa......

Mick.

Maris, definitely a good idea to use the very wide angle lens to give it a bit of a different look. I'm in two minds as to whether the lawn area is best left as is, or whether to crop the lawn somewhat. Presumably you are doing contact prints, so that makes it a bit harder to achieve a clean crop as...
