Cheers, I've been locked down and unable to leave my city for ~8 weeks now and probably will be until the end of the year, so I've got to make lemonade with the lemons.Quote:

I like the tree shot especially. For this shot look at a crop in pano format From above the bicycle to bottom (1600x620), it then also makes a nice wave pattern with the water. I thought the bike was a clump of roots at first glance because of all the other foliage.

Andrew,
The subject matter is not my "cup of tea", but I am curious as to your intent/concept with these images. Also, what film/lenses are you using? I assume this is 4x5 work?
Andrew, love your work! The chair is amazing.
Andrew - I am liking this series despite it being not my cup of tea. You could build a quality portfolio of these if you continue to explore.
Thanks everyone! I've normally shot more traditional landscapes but given I'm not going to be able to leave my city potentially for the rest of the year I've had to think of other things to photograph. One advantage of the pandemic over here is that a lot of public spaces are practically empty now (especially schools and universities as everyone is doing remote study) which suits my style and what I've been going for.
Yes they're all 4x5 shots, almost all of them with Chamonix 45n-2 and a Fujinon 135mm f5.6 lens, some with a Fujinon 210mm f5.6. Split pretty evenly between ektar 100 and portra 400. Home processed using Kodak chemistry and DSRL scanned, inverted using negative lab pro.
I didn't start out with any particular concept, I was just enjoying wandering around a local deserted university which I found very visually interesting, since then some ideas are starting to pop out after seeing them all side-by-side. I want the images to have some form of tension between man-made and natural forms, generally the feeling that one is either encroaching on or holding back the other. I want a feeling of emptiness or desertion, so no people. I want the scenes (including lighting and colour pallet) to feel a bit 'tired', giving a bit more of an 'end of things' feel.
Thanks for the update and great images
So the school is empty, but you may wander
Perfect...
My 2 big schools, I am not visiting til Spring in May 2022
