"Millennium Dawn"
Point Arkwright, Sunshine Coast, QLD, Australia
This photo nearly didn't happen. I had been wandering around after taking another photo and, as was my custom, left the camera on the tripod with the lot slung over my shoulder.
When I saw this image I set everything up then went to open the shutter to compose the image on the ground glass...no cable release (my super-angulon has an old shutter that requires the shutter to be set to B and held open with the cable release).
I retraced my steps for what must have been about 15 minutes but to no avail. The cable release was nowhere to be seen. Needless to say I was upset but chalked it up to experience and resolved to carry a spare in future.
I packed up the equipment, folded the tripod, shouldered my backpack, bent over to pick up my jacket, and there it was. The release was in a small crack quite literally under my feet.
Naturally by now the sun was higher than when I first saw the shot but with the cloud it didn't really matter although the brightness range is quite extreme with 1200% extra exposure required in some parts of the sky.
Camera :: Tachihara 5x4 field camera
Lens :: 90mm f5.6 Schnieder Super Angulon
Exposure :: 10sec
Aperture :: f64
Good one, GRAYnomad.
Hey Maris, is that really you? From the Sunshine Coast?Quote:

Thanks Ben!Quote:

Thanks Ben. Was one of my best sellers and even made it to being a poster.
No darkroom for me these days, couldn't living in the motorhome for 15 years anyway and now I've dropped anchor I can't really afford to. Pity there's no community space up here at Bundaberg, or at least someone with a darkroom, it would be nice to keep my hand in.Quote:

I've seen your name (and Ziggy's) mentioned a bit on one of the Aussie platforms (Friends of Photography maybe?) so knew that you were still shooting LF. I was (and still am) seduced by digital since 2004 but am about to return to LF, but I'll still use digital for wildlife. It's hard to get shots like this with a view camera and I do enjoy wildlife photography as well.
