It is just another tool in the tool chest and I make a decision to use it or not to use it on most images. But I always check out the relationship of the trees or rocks or whatever along the edges of the image. Having a 5x7 with back tilt only (no front tilt) is challenging, but one looks for and finds images that will work with the equipment one has.Quote:

Mat that is totally awsome! Have got to give HP-5 another try sometimes!
So...I have some family (sister and her hubby, niece and hubby w/new baby!) living in Columbus...how far from Hocking Hills?
Columbus is < 1 hour from Hocking Hills and a pretty easy drive, Winter weather pending. Worth a few days of exploration, but close enough to make a nice day trip with multiple locations.
Very fun image. Looks to be a great place to explore.Quote:

Great images, Mat and Daniel. A lot of other very nice stuff at your web page, Mat. I'll have to check out the podcast!
Beautiful, love your framing and the way the you've emphasized the little group of trees, always enjoy you work. Mat.

I also like the transition, in the second image - from the "brief" bit of serenity implied by the stilled tree reflections in the lower left (evokes Paul Caponigro's Redding, Ct. woods/pond photo?) - but this stillness quickly dissolves into the vortex...twisting into the ominous/mysterious opening below. Nice!
At this point...Hocking Hills is very much on my bucket list! Any recommendations for time of year to visit? Thanks!
That’s spectacular, Mat!Quote:
