Re: Molesworth Church and Flock

Well seen Mick . Christ Church Anglican Church looks so simple and serene amid its sheltering trees. It may have been built in 1869 as part of the 19th century drive to have a church in every parish and no further away than a convenient horse powered journey. The flock of sheep in the churchyard kee...

Re: Pillar of Power

An emerging icon of our times, the EV charge point. Well seen Mick and well framed with the out-of-focus bush isolating the sign from background clutter. I wonder if these things will become so ubiquitous that they pass beneath notice. Or will they eventually become collectibles like those old glass...

Re: Lake Doonella, Western Sky, Afternoon.

Yes Mick , it was one of those slightly ominous afternoons that build to a late thunderstorm. Careful printing held the clouds near the horizon but the extreme lens rise and image fall-off darkened the top third of the picture. I don't have one of those fancy centre-dark filters like you keep for yo...

Re: Nude Reclining in Tree

Thanks for your comments Mick . Kodak High Speed Infrared sheet film was nice to use because it delivered an infrared effect with a #25 red filter. This enabled ground glass viewing, framing, and focussing. The other films I've used, Efke IR820 and Rollei 400 Infrared, both require an opaque IR720 f...

Re: Wanted: 20x24 Easel

I use a Saunders 20x24 four blade model as my regular paper easel and it is the best easel I've ever had. And I got it for free because one of the adjustment knobs was broken off and lost in transit. This because a big easel is a fragile thing to ship and requires very sturdy packaging. I made a woo...

Re: Tom's Boat.

Thanks for your comments Barry Kirsten and RoganJosh . The original crooked horizon photograph is deep in the archive ... somewhere. But I could have presented the original uncropped picture and then claimed an artistic trope called the "Dutch Tilt" or "Dutch Angle". A deliberate...

Re: An overnighter in KNP

John Power , that is a really nice sequence of Main Range views. It is not often that someone summons the determination to haul a large format camera up there. My best effort was getting a 8x10 to Blue Lake - but only once. Mt Townswend approach is a dramatic entree to the final ascent. Townsend is...
