John, this is an exceptional image. Naturally monochromatic, very well done!Quote:

The image contains an accident - I was using a new to me camera that requires the back tilt knobs to be tighter then I'm used to, and when I inserted the holder the back tilted forward a bit. As a result the very top of the tree and the bottom half of the trunk are out of focus. Thankfully the final result looks intentional. Still, I wish I'd refocused and exposed another sheet to compare, but at the time I thought the back had moved while I was tearing down rather then setting up. It's driving me a little crazy knowing it wasn't what I intended, even if it does work.
Thought I had seen enough photos from this scenery, but obviously not. This is masterly done!Quote:

Wasn't sure I could save this image or not, I missed the exposure. Although I was happy that I got anything.
I pulled off the road just as the sun was setting...
After setting up, I had to run back to the car for a wider lens,
Next, I forgot the film holder, again I run back to the car, wife is really puzzled why I was running back an forth to the car...
Great, after I was all set up... I caught my foot on the tripod and had to remove film holder to re-frame...
If by that you mean it's underexposed, I rather like it. Nice mood. I think you saved it.Quote:
