JMO and Corran: Great images. Especially interesting to me because just read a book named "Swamplandia!" Really made me receptive to these shots. Congratulations.

[Corran]

Thanks John!

In Natchez the one historic tour I really wanted to do was to Longwood Plantation. You can read all about it online but the most interesting part is that most of it remains uncompleted, with a massive interior view up to the 6th floor. I knew I wanted to bring my Hasselblad and 40mm lens for this shot, which to be fair has been taken a zillion times, but so be it. I had a roll of Ilford Delta 3200 in one back and HP5+ in the other. I have like 3 shots left on the 3200 but developed the HP5+, so here's a scan of this image. We'll see if I like the 3200 more later. Metering for this photo consisted of setting the lens wide-open and deciding I could decently handhold a 1/30th shutter speed while holding the camera straight out over the center looking up:

In what way? Some farming areas will get rid of anything but the crop. Others will let trees grow and in later years enjoy the shade as well as the bit of water they save when wind blown snow drifts behind them. Choices to make when one is raising food.

My critic was about the intensive farming practices which now prevails in most places in France and threaten biodiversity. I bet this tree will disapear soon, like most of them around. I do not blame farmers, many of them being aware of the problem.

Dave Sh: Nice winter shot, but did you reverse it intentionally? Now you've got me thinking about which way I "read" a photograph.

Here's the Curtis Prairie pond at the UW Arboretum. TriX, 80mm, scan from film.
