Grass in Snow

Grass in Snow, Charlotte Pass.

Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 21.3cm X 16.4cm, from a 4x5 Kodak Tmax 100 negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF double extension field view camera fitted with a Nikkor-W 210mm f5.6 lens. Titled and signed recto, stamped and annotated verso.

Here's another photograph from this year's sojourn in the high country. When the snow turned to ice and became very slippery and dangerous to venture upon I couldn't access big landscapes and instead looked to small things at my feet. This is an attempted abstraction which owes a lot to Harry Callahan's famous treatment of similar subject matter back in the 1940s.

Nicely done, Maris - texture in the snow and I imagine detail in the grass heads although they're too small on my monitor to see clearly.
