Re: Eggslicer, Spatula, Masher

Exactly right, Barry Kirsten. The optic was a #3 close-up lens Blu-Tacked to the back of a spare Copal 3 shutter. A red filter was added to subdue the chromatic aberration of this simple lens.
Soft focus glow works nicely with white or bright things; not so well with dark objects.

Re: Lang Lang Station Points Lever

Good one Mick. Another icon of its time but a long past time. Unlike your Pillar of Power from April which is a signpost to the future. Putting the ratchet wheel against the dark bush makes it stand out dramatically. Your Fujinon f6.3 250mm lens is sure getting a useful workout.

Re: Bucolic Scene, From the Kin Kin Road.

Thanks RoganJosh. It's an honour being compared to the great Robert Adams. I think Adam's cow pictures are from his book Prairie featuring elegantly composed American scenes of country emptiness. The cows are 17 or 18 pictures in from the beginning of that book; I think.

Re: Bucolic Scene, From the Kin Kin Road.

Yes Mick , it was high summer. Two things cows like on a hot day are shade and water. The shade is at the top of the ridge and there are some cows up there. The water is a long walk downhill. The farmer is smart by keeping both pleasures far apart so the cows don't congregate and make a trampled pat...

Re: Dracaena, Rainy Day

Mick , large format photography tends to long exposure times at small lens apertures so I've wasted more time than strictly necessary in studying film reciprocity failure . Taking the Kodak data table for reciprocity failure of TXP320 and reducing it via some logarithms and exponents like the Ilfor...
