Se'ed 3 by Abdullah AlGarzai, on Flickr

shot in Se'ed Saudi Arabia on tmax 100. as usual. i don't have notes and don't know what my exposure was :)

Algarzai,

My first impression was that the image is too contrasty, but on reflection I've begun to suspect it is an accurate representation of the intensity of the desert sun. Nice textures too.

Yup, it was a sunny day - as usual. the shadows had no interest in them. I also have been toning my images very contrasty. that's how this imaged worked for me.

Farasan Island in Saudi Arabia. Shot on Delta 100 and using 90mm Rodenstock and a lisco film holder :cool:.
this picture has been setting in my hard drive for a while. It is an example of how i have been toning images lately. I didn't like how bright it is until recently when I toned it to be not bright. I was working on it when I learned my uncle passed away. it has a special place.

Very nice photograph to remember your uncle. The peacefulness and the light in the distance is meaningful.

thanks Jim..

Both of these images are very nice, alcazar I. The dune shot is very reminiscent of the Weston's photos of the Oceano dunes in both style and quality. Great work!

They are both very good, and I do like the darkish tone on this one.

I like this. I grew up in Pacifica, but I'm having trouble placing this. Where did you shoot it?

Thanks,

Fitzgerald's Marine Reserve. I think that's at or near Moss Beach.
