When you said 'triplets' I thought you were talking about lenses - just shows how one-track an enthusiast's mind can become

Wonderful image - in the fullest sense of the term.

Palouse tree and windmill. It's fun and intriguing to come across a scene like this. You wonder what the story is behind why that windmill is there.

Clyde's Tree - Myakka River State Park
Wisner 12x20, Schneider 360mm f/5.6 Symmar, HP5+ shot at an EI of 200 dev'd in HC-110 for 10 minutes @ 71F

This is the famous tree in Myakka that Clyde Butcher has photographed multiple times. I knew when I bought this Wisner 12x20 (same as Clyde uses/used) I wanted to shoot this image with this camera.

I arrived at the park just as the sun was starting to dip low on the horizon and the Spanish moss lit up with wonderful back-lighting. I setup my tripod quickly, which has a custom-made head that uses both a 1/4" and 3/8" screw connection to the Wisner. I looked in my backpack and discovered I had completely forgotten the two bolts I use for the camera connection back at home (9 hours away). I was really disappointed...and then I decided to heck with it, I would be very careful and just balance the camera on the tripod head platform. So I put the camera on top and carefully opened it up and put the lens on. After carefully composing while my wife helped me make sure the camera wasn't knocked off the tripod and 5 feet onto the ground, I loaded the film holder and grabbed this shot. It was a 15-second exposure at f/90.

As an additional side-note, I visited Clyde's Venice gallery and toured the darkroom. Still haven't met him, but I did buy this print so I could finally hang an original Butcher in my photography collection.
