Beech Forest, North Island, NZ, 1986
This area (Te Urewera) was a National Park, but it was disestablished four years ago (this is the first I have heard of it, when I went to check the spelling). The area is now managed by the Maoris of the area. Beautiful temperate rain forests surround a incredible lake (Lake Waikaremoana). Tracks still open to visitors.

My first good effort with my Intrepid 8x10. Been a long break in LF-stuff and I have been feeling guilty about it. Now I'm all excited again!
I found this mushroom when I was here with my daughter and wife and I thought it was just perfect and decided to come back to it later.
Autumn harvest
Maris, what a pleasure to see your beautiful work again!

Thank you. The actual print color is not quite so brown -- hard to replicate the color on the screen (16x20 Portriga Rapid III, Grade 3, selenium toned). Forest images are tough -- trying to bring some visual order out of the chaos. A lot of good examples here.
I had to burn down that fern some -- a lively little thing! It is an older print. I have learned a few tricks since then (for example, I would now use some local flashing in the upper right instead of just burning), but I have moved away from silver gelatin enlargements and do mostly contacting in alt processes.

Wildlife photography with LF? Sure, as long as that wildlife is a slug!
