What did you compose at Waters Edge?

[Alan Gales]

Stone,

#3 for composition, # 2 for PanF. Can't beat PanF in Rodinal for those bright snow highlights. All very nice. Thank you.

The "Spare" pier at Lytham St Annes (UK) It was attached to the old pier by a walkway and was used by Steamers. When the old pier burnt down, the walkway collapsed into the sea, and the flames couldn't get to this pier. When the new pier was built, they didn't have enough money to make it as long as the old one, so this sits a fair way off the end of the main pier.

Taken on Ansco 10x8 with 240mm Nikkor lens on Tmax 100 deveoped in D76. This is the first real trip with the 10x8.

Blended with a coloured fill layer in PS

Very simple but clean and intriguing.

Thanks guys, it's good to know which ones you like best I appreciate that feedback.

I shot each one or rather composed it with a different idea in mind, the first one I really like the waviness at the bottom where the snow met the melted ice, so I wanted to include that with the waterfall on the side there, the second one I just wanted to get obviously the panoramic of it all with the ice sort of less important as the waterfall, and the third of course just the waterfall itself, I felt that the third was probably also my favorite, however the exposure on the panoramic with PanF+ had more overall tone in it then the others and so I preferred it for exposure reasons but I agree the composition in three is probably best.

I'm still not completely satisfied with the exposure I took, I wanted a little more darkness I suppose would be the best explanation, but I didn't have the right ND filters etc. But Santa Claus came and brought me a set of Andy filters so now I'm excited to try them out!
