What did you compose at Waters Edge?

[Steve Gledhill]

Gandhi - quite one of the best landscapes I've seen for a good while. Beautiful.

[Steve Gledhill]

Over the last couple of years I’ve been working on a portfolio of photographs taken along and under the Glamorgan coastline of South Wales. The visits have been well spread out – just four in total. It’s a remarkable stretch of stratified rock which offers fantastic forms, contrasts and textures for b&w photography. Images from the portfolio could be posted in any one of a number of our threads, Landscape, Water’s Edge, Rocks, Folds, Faults and Fossils, and perhaps others – but not Trees! This one was taken last Friday on a very fruitful day – in spite of the bright sun! Along this stretch of coastline there are several sea caves up to about 100m in depth (horizontally). Some of my images are made deep inside, hence the “under” in my first sentence.

Across the Bristol Channel to Exmoor

My Glamorgan Coast portfolio is linked here where the first six images were all taken last Friday.

As an aside for Doctor Who and Torchwood followers – this stretch of coast often features in scenes from the TV programmes. The production base for Doctor Who and Torchwood is in nearby Cardiff. If anyone saw the first episode of the latest Torchwood “Miracle Day” – it features the lone cottage on the hillside in this photograph where Gwen is living, until her whereabouts is discovered and there’s a great helicopter fight around the cottage and over the beach! It’s further west along the South Wales Coast at the west end of the Gower peninsula.

Steve,

Very nice images from that area at your web page. That looks like a wonderful place to shoot.

Some amazingly beautiful and inspiring images on here!

Adox CHS25 in Rodinal 1:100. 135 Symmar S - Red Filter

As others have rightly said, this is absolutely beautiful! This is one of those shots that teeters between inspiring me to worker harder and learn this whole craft better, or simply toss my camera and give up because I have so far to go. It's a beautiful image - well done!

This is Curtis Creek in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
I shot several lenses at this same small creek. This one is with an old
Speed Graflex 4x5 and a very small Kodak Doublet F11 lens that to my surprise covers 4x5. Film was Delta 100, shot at F32 at 1 second.

A Florida Waterfall



Well, my first attempt at shooting a waterfall with LF and an ND filter.

All Comments Welcome,

TK45, Fuji 300sf 3sec @ F5.6 & Neutral Density 8 -
Scanned on my old Epson 4490 and stitched together in PS4 -
You can see the Newtonian rings in the right small waterfall a quarter of the way up from bottom.

Try printing it without the posts on the left. Nice image and light here.

Only my second outing with my LF camera. I enjoyed rock hopping up the creek to this small waterfall with my massive photobackpacker bag on!

I'm very new at this - but think the hinge line thing might actually have started to make a little sense!

Both are FP4 in Rodinal 1:50 scanned on v700. Both F22.

I added an orange filter on the second shot to give it a moodier feel.

Comments and suggestions not just welcome but humbly requested. I'd love all the help I can get

Baker Creek, Great Basin National Park.

Now my third outing!

These are from a hike yesterday in Lamington National Park near Brisbane - Queensland, AU.







These are FP4+ in Rodinal 1:50. Wondering if I should have maybe pushed the development longer. I am still trying to get my head around it all. There was a bit of wind which didn't help and I think I got my plane of focus all wrong in the last one.

Any comments or suggestions on how I can do better gratefully appreciated!

Hi Boinzo.
how long are you processing your negs for? I use FP4 and Rodinal @ 1+50.
I rate my Film @ 80 ISO, and process for 7.5 min @ 20 deg.
I'm heading down to the Otways Vic.on Monday for a week, based at cape Otway. taking the Tachihara and my home built 4x5 Ultra Wide, hope to get some good shots, hope the weather is kind. You are doing well,
Cheers Brian.
