Molesworth Church and Flock

I spied this as I was leaving Molesworth, it is located on the old highway, or should that be on the old road as even today it isn't a highway. The weather had been quite atrocious, which is being kind as it had been raining for around 20 hours. Having gull wing type doors on the box on the tray of ...

Pillar of Power

Cruising through a light industrial area close to home over Easter, foraging for things to photograph without any vehicular impediment, when I spied this. Shen Hao HZX45-IIA Ilford FP4+ D76 1:1 Fujinon f/6.3 250mm 23mm fall at f/6.3, no filter. A quite hurried exposure as rain was imminent, which se...

Re: Lake Doonella, Western Sky, Afternoon.

I thought, 75mm lens, 4x5" camera, darkening in the top corners, very even across the bottom of the photograph, must have given it a bit of front rise. Regardless, this one certainly stands out. I agree with you about the fancy centre graduated filter, it has made the 65mm lens super easy to us...

Thanks Maris, I had totally forgotten about the original Chamonix bellows issue, I seem to now remember it was a bit of an issue for some people.

Re: Nude Reclining in Tree

The central triangle is what grabbed me, seeing the scrub and beach in the background looked good. I also thought the compressed calf muscle looks good. Took me a few seconds to wonder about the foliage being so bright, until I thought of infrared film; then I read your notes. I've never used infrar...

Re: Tom's Boat.

The composition with Tom's boat in the foreground and (Thomasina's? :D ) boat in the background completely capture one's eyes, the crooked horizon was only noticeable to me, because you mentioned it.

Re: Wanted: Print Washer

For anything that size, you really need to be looking at tray (or dish) washing. Kodak made an automatic tray siphon. This was great as it attaches to a tap for water inlet, and had a siphon for water outlet. The major downside is that you will need to elevate your tray in the sink by about the dept...

Sauna Fence

This was taken as a set subject, fences or borders, for a monthly assignment in another photographic forum; took me a couple of days looking around wherever I went, then suddenly I see this fence which I walk past going down the backyard to the darkroom. A very long time since using such a wide aper...

Re: Native raspberry leaves

John, that, as Maris mentions, is a nicely balanced picture.

Not sure if your father getting smashed by mossies quite sees this image, in the same vein as we do! :o
