This was a morning session at a crossing of the Molonglo river that hundreds of Canberrans drive past each day. The stump immediately stood out as a nice thing to shoot. Upon developing the negatives, this was the only sheet that looked thin, but I'm very happy with it. I think the stump clearly stands a subject, something that I think lots of my images lack... a real focal point or "what its of".
This is the same speed graphic/sironar n/ F32/yellow filter/apx100 combo as the other few pics I've posted recently.

Actually, Walter, if you see this... say I do only stop this lens down to F16 and am shooting scenes such as this, I guess that means I'm in ND filter territory if I'd like to record movement? Something about them feels a bit contrived and modern to me, though I'm sure thats just me being ignorant.
