What did you compose at Waters Edge?

Your wife was right, Jim.

I took this a few years ago in Yosemite and finally had it scanned at the insistence of my wife who liked the image. Taken on 8x10 Velvia 50 with a 150 Nikkor SW.

Yup, "for once" the wife is right.

Creek, marsh, lake, river, ocean – show what you’ve come across at water’s edge.

It’s the transition – water to land – that produces so much fun drama for this photographer .

I’d enjoy seeing your favorite examples.

Along coastal Washington, I find a lot of weird stuff arriving on the tide. Not all of it’s worth a sheet of film – last week, I picked up a rusty soda can (I think) with Japanese writing. But so much of what I discover is. And of course the tide tosses-up new subjects every day. Make that twice a day.

This gigantic trunk floated out of the nearby Olympic rain forest & crashed here – where the sun bleaches it against coffee-colored sands. Despite the difficult mid-day contrast and simple composition, I thought the primitive beat-up shape was still worth a shot. Looks like a dinosaur’s thigh bone. The left side is 7 or 8 feet tall! Wish there was something better for scale than my footprints passing by in the foreground.

A month later the log was gone. It will return some stormy day.

Thank you. A long term theme I think.

I wasn't sure if this was a "Night shot" a "Waters Edge" or an "Urban Landscape" so posting to all 3.

8x10 Acros100 - Rodinal - 300mm f/22@ (1m OR 7m45s with Red filter, haven't printed either and the negs density is too similar to tell, and only scanned one) - Cropped to 7x10

Nice work stone

That's a really nice one Stone. Particularly like the glow from the lights.

Thanks, there was a high amount of humidity in the air which I knew would help with the glow.

If this was the 7+ minute exposure, then it's technically probably about 7 separate exposures, all these boats kept passing by and I had to stop the exposure to avoid the light streaks from passing vessels. At a high magnification there is a slight registry issue, but it's slight and with 8x10 the magnification would have to be pretty high to be a concern.
