Re: Looking to downsize

As I understand it, you can convert any Sinar to 4x5, 5x7 or 8x10 by changing to the relevant standards. But I get your point, I have and use a Toyo 45G which while not quite in the same company as Sinar equipment, the bulk is there. I have a Shen Hao HZX45-IIA, which is still manufactured today and...

Re: Wanted: 20x24 Easel

Re: Fall, University of New England Campus, Armidale

Interesting Barry. My wife is German, currently she is learning French from a technical point online. Her French vocabulary is pretty good, her spoken French is, as far as I can tell, pretty good. She can also get by, sort of with Spanish, which was helpful when we visited Spain a decade or so back....

Re: Fall, University of New England Campus, Armidale

Nice capture of the fallen leaves. Quite interesting to see a scene like this coming from Qld, not quite what one expects. Did you chance upon this, or is it a known thing of yours? Regardless, a perfect example of what is possible with camera movements, what's next Maris, a snow scene? :o With rega...

Re: Aloe Vera

Maris, I am watching this plant in the hope I get the right conditions for most of the flowers to be open at the same time. But I'm not holding out too much hope for that, the bottom flowers are already wilting. In general this plant seems to flower for a considerable time, and to do it all at once ...

This sits on our back verandah table. Late in the day to utilise natural sidelight and less wind/breeze as the flower is atop a 400mm long stem from the base plant.

Re: Charlotte Pass Snow Gum, Infrared

Maris, Charlotte Pass has never looked so inviting; very nice.

Straight print, or did you hold some of the shadow areas a bit?

Creamy smoothish foliage on the tree tops, combined with that luscious grass, just lifts this way above an ordinary IR image.

Re: Beached Boat, Lake Cootharaba

Yes, I'll open by saying: Thank you Alistair. Thank you Oscar. Thank you Steve. I like this, it seems that the cloudy day has been kind to you, although your endeavours certainly took advantage of everything possible. The hull is very well the centre of attention, and also the lightest part. Seconde...

Re: Full Moon, Sunshine Beach.

Your comments remind me of this joke.

Question: How does the Man in the Moon, cut his hair?
