That is a pretty awesome picture for a near miss. In fact, if I could miss and still get one as good as this one, I'd be tempted to claim it as a happy accident. A metheod that might work would be to meter it just before sunrise, and set the exposure half way between that reading and the one you got for this one.Quote:

Love that smooth winter sky Steve! More of us need to be out in the snow making photos.
That is a very nice shot, regardless of the dust i like it, and now i feel i want that lens too.Quote:

Excellent! Great detail and very strong, graphic comp.
Thanks for the comments/compliments. Erik - a friend just gave me The Negative (paperback) a couple weeks ago, but I don't remember anything like that on the cover! (I'm not at home now, so can't look at it.) It seems like the books in that series have a variety of cover images, depending maybe on hardback vs. paperback or which edition? Or maybe I'm just not that observant... :D
But I think you are referring to his image from the Oceano dunes, which I find interesting in its dissimilarity to the zillion images the Westons made there. If any of you like B&W dune images, the book "Dune" of Edward and Brett's dune images is a must see/have - it is actually almost too much, in terms of the number of stellar images.
Hi jp,, thank you and I agree.. The extreme cold air seems to effects the atmosphere and the colorQuote:

Greg, this is what I meant.
That's what I guessed. My paperback has Figure 6-1 (Thundercloud over Unicorn Peak) on the cover.

I think that is one of the most contrasty photos I have seen of yours, Ken.
Looking at your photo I can tell that it was a real good talk! :)

I found his talk very stimulating to the creative imagination.

Good stuff, Ken, and surprisingly contrasty!
Yes !Quote:

Jason was kind enough to take me shooting at one of his amazing locations along the Maine coast. That morning the light was remarkably clear and my photos seem to work best with that kind of interpretation.Quote:

same details.
some very lovely photos being shown here!!!!! But jp498, you need a bit more depth of field.
Thanks Kevin; I didn't try to get the last one in depth-of-field focus. I like layers in photos rather than the f64 look.
Pinhole could get it all in focus and might look cool too though. If I ever build a pinhole, this spot isn't far from home, so I'd be back.
I would think that Speed Graphic has a tilting front on it, doesn't it. A bit of tilt would take care of the near far focus.Quote:

I like these two, specially the second one for the graphic line pattern. For that effect I do believe the depth of field is spot-on. I also like the first one, but to be honest the first thing I see is not the texture nor the rocks, but the shadow. The shadow has the shape of a lion head with the mouth slightly open. Because it is what stands out for me I then have to make an effort to look for the textures and forms. It works nice though.Quote:

Beautiful image of the beach,have you used the gratuated ND filter? Or was a stormy sky?Quote:

Thanks, there was a huge bank of cloud and the sun went into it so it was pretty much like that though I did use a 3 stop ND filter to balance it out as the highlights were more than +5
This is also a second one from the same box of Ektar.

Very nice color NGUSS. What is the location?
PDM
Thanks both. Professional it is a pity that you were unable to use the Ektar you have, I am at the moment finding it a very decent colour neg. PDM, the location is Gribdale in the UK, I had to wait for about 20 mins for the light to come through the clouds for about 10 seconds before it went in and began raining again. Fine British weather.
I believe this is my first post here!
