Re: Water Tower, Lal Lal

I think the framing is perfect, particularly the top front corner framed by the tree limbs.

Perfect lighting for getting fine detail.

Did you climb the ladder? :D

What is EMA developing, I cannot remember ever hearing about this?

Re: Eagles Nest

I like the framing, captures everything needed to give some dynamics to the image. The subject is really good; an extra bit of light would have given it that extra kick to make it sensational. Should re-visit there and have another go; every time I've been there, either the tide is wrong, the light ...

Driftwood, Somers Beach

This was a nice day trip from home, although we ended up staying until well after sunset. Photography was not on my mind as we stopped for lunch in the camper and a game of scrabble. After lunch we strolled along the beach, I became enamoured with this piece of driftwood. Back to the camper to get t...

Re: Pool, Granite Bay.

Sorry about that Maris, I fully agree with you that an f/8 90mm lens with a dark subject in a dark place is interesting to focus, more so with rear tilt movements then refocusing. I once had someone explaing to me how to focus a 4x5" monorail to get everything in focus with a product shoot, whi...

Re: Pool, Granite Bay.

Almost looks like a torso, but I'm sure it isn't. :mrgreen:

Have you thought of cropping the top to remove the rock that looks like a camera bag, seems to tidy it up somewhat?

Regardless, another great portrayal of a rocky landscape; you seem to do these effortlessly.

Re: Lake Doonella, Sunset.

"The idea is a direct crib from Hokusai's 36 Views of Mount Fuji. Stealing ideas from the masters is a form of homage isn't it?"

Yep, plus you did it with a Japanese camera to boot.

Re: Lake Doonella, Sunset.

I wouldn't say it was an odd thing to photograph a glorious colour scene with B&W film; perverse, may be more accurate. :mrgreen:

Whatever your motive was, it is well liked by myself. Love the centrally placed mountain, which looks like a pyramid.

Re: Highett Menswear

I seem to remember, "Beautifully quiet in Highett", but it is decades since I've heard it played on the wireless. :mrgreen: Not sure whether Sandy Stone had been born when he sang it, I think it was called the, "Highett Waltz". I agree with you about the comparative portability o...

Highett Menswear

I took this shortly before it was closing. The fella who owned the shop had run it for 43 years, I bought all of my socks and some other stuff from him for about 20 years. This shop was the only place I could get Australian made woollen business socks, which were about the best on the market. Shot i...

Re: Tennyson Uniting Church

Maris, I agree with you, which is why I chose to take it from this viewpoint. My first consideration was to ensure the water tank was in, then I wished to get the three windows on that wall in. My first consideration was the church, then I considered the hall, but didn't like either in isolation. Mo...
