It's been almost 2 months since I shot LF due to moving and work, but I finally got back to it today.

Not the best weather for me but dang it I was determined to shoot.

Hiked a bit around a local lake. I had forgotten how much the kudzu had taken over in north GA.

Getting back in the groove of shooting too after the summer. So happy to get back to the control over the image LF gives.

Chamonix 045N-2, Nikkor-W 210mm, Fomapan 100 in Rodinal semi-stand for 90m.

JeRuFo, I love the depth and spacious feeling of this, also the balanced tones.

Snow Gum, number 31.

Gelatin-silver photograph on Fomabrom Variant 111 VC FB, image area 24.7cm X 19.6cm, from a 8x10 Fomapan 200 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD field view camera fitted with a Schneider Super Angulon 121mm f8 lens.

This grand Snow Gum is about 20 feet in circumference at the base. Maybe a hundred years ago it suffered bark damage and an epicormic bud sprang into activity. This bud is now the tree size branch leaving the photograph in the upper left hand corner. The ancient tree survives, dead in parts, live in others, hopefully for a few more centuries.

Seven Bridges Road

There's not a single bridge on the road that the old oak is hanging over but every time I drive under it I think of the song that the Eagles sang.

Thank you. I'm still undecided about the image, I was just enthused by seeing a nice negative after being out shooting again. I do quite like the composition, and although I usually don't shoot in the middle of the afternoon on a sunny day, I was happy I saw how the shadows could help with the composition. So all in all a positive start to the new year, but I'm still hoping for more.

That's a great image, Michael. I'm particularly impressed with how well you get the mood across. It's all very gray, but still there are beautiful tones.

Two very well photographed images on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Blowing Rock, NC. I grew up just around the corner from these two, so trying to come up with something different then what is all over of them.
