What did you compose at Waters Edge?

Robert, very beautiful indeed.

Thank you very much!

Lovely image Robert. Out of curiosity, did you use incident or spot on the Sekonic? If spot, did you find the Sekonic spot reading a bit high?

Thank you for the compliment! I used incident on the meter here. However, regarding the spot reading on this meter, I've been fortunate that I've not had any issues with mine at all.

Very nice, Robert.

Thank you very much!

WHoa!

That's a perfect candidate for a wall mural in a family room!

From a trip to the Murray recently:

Toyo 45A, 150mm Nikkor-W, Fomapan 100@50, D76.

More coming soon; critique always welcome.

More coming soon; critique always welcome.

Perhaps a variation in the style of Brett Weston would be worth exploring: less realistic, but more evocative perhaps.

Sorry for doing this. All the important stuff is in this crop.

All the important stuff is in this crop.

That's a very authoritative statement, given that you severely weakened a composition greatly improved upon by Ken Lee. Some eyes can see.

Thanks guys; it's appreciated. I was considering cranking the contrast a little (bring the white-point down to the trees' highlights) but the left crop didn't occur to me. I'm intrigued that you both cut the dirt from the foreground whereas I would have kept it as a "floor" to the image. Any particular reasoning for cropping it there?

I've uploaded a new version now, taking into account your suggestions. It should appear in my old post.

And here we go with my first ever LF chrome:

Toyo 45A, 90/6.8, CPL, RDPIII, Fuji E6 kit

The scan is a little darker than the slide appears in person.
