Verandah, Sunrise

Verandah, Sunrise
Gelatin-silver photograph on Agfa Classic VC FB photographic paper, image size 16.3cm X 21.5cm, from a 4x5 Kodak Tmax 400 negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF field view camera fitted with a Schneider Super Angulon 90mm f8 lens.

I normally don't photograph this early in the day but having a camera and film at hand, as one does, I thought why not. The old single coated S.A. 90mm lens resisted flare quite well.
Question: Should the architectural elements be disciplined into vertical with a lot of front fall on the camera?
Answer: Nah, it's semi-abstract anyway so let 'em go wild and skew!

Maris, that is a ripper of a picture, one that would make you stop for a second look if it was on a gallery wall.

The splayed look of all the lines, is the real attention getter.

Perhaps a slightly better caption could be" Verandah Surprise".
