This B&W shot was an afterthought, as I first took this with Kodak Portra VC 160. By the time I exposed the B&W sheet the shadows had changed, allowing the power pole and tree shadows to appear on the house and front door. Didn't see the gentleman entering, as I was holding the orange filter...

First exposure of the year on a trip some years ago; second day of January. I've made around 40 prints of this for a postcard exchange, plus a mounted and matted print on 30cm x 40cm paper; both in a warm tone developer I mixed up. This scan emulates the exact cropping of my prints, but not the colo...

Shen Hao HZX-IIA Caltar 215mm, exposure time unrecorded but it was at f/22. FP4+ film in D76 Taken in June with lovely lowish winter light. This belonged to a close friend, he rather foolishly decided he needed a restoration project, he chose to restore this bike. It is the first model of what was e...

Mark, thank you for the explanation. Sounds interesting, although I come from a rather different background with regards to agitation. For around 30 years I have developed all of my film in a Jobo processor, B&W E6 and C41, agitation is sort of in my blood, so to speak. Since it became available...

Shen Hao HZX45-IIA Caltar 215mm Ilford FP4+ This is the full scan of the negative, not sure what I'll do yet, if anything. Just as a matter of interest, the negative image that is scanned has a size of 94.5mm x 119mm, which is approximately 5mm shaved from each side of the actual negative whole. Eps...

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?

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

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 ...

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...

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...

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

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.
