Thinking a bit about Sally Mann's photographs from the "A Thousand Crossings" show that was here in Atlanta recently - specifically some of the very dark and mysterious images from her "Southern Landscapes" portfolio.
Old Fort Bayou Scene - 12 Oaks Preserve in Ocean Springs, MS

I missed this exhibit (been away from Atlanta for quite a while down on the coast), but I like her landscape work. I have her Deep South book on my coffee table. Your photo does have that Sally Mann vibe. Good workQuote:

Beautiful buttery light, colors, and composition--leading line, reflection, full frame with clouds, near-far 3d effect, etc. Great job!Quote:

From my latest video. FP4+ 150mm @ f45 with some front tilt.
John,
Hope you don't mind a constructive comment and, perhaps, you know this already... Use of front tilt in scenes like this is problematic because the upper area of verticals (trees in this case) are generally rendered soft no matter what lens aperture is used. For scenes like this, I keep everything at zero and use aperture, choice of lens, and/or camera position to maximize DOF. If I can't get everything in sharp focus, I'll ensure my primary subject is sharp and let everything else fall where it may. Of course, this is just me and you're certainly free to shoot as you see fit. ;)
Thank you so much, Michael.Quote:
