"Landscapes exist in the material world yet soar in the realms of the spirit..." Tsung Ping, 5th Century China
LOL For the scene below I didn't have the dark cloth and there were people walking by (safe distance away) who stopped and seemed to be commenting on the image as it came into focus. I half expected snide remarks on the upside-down scene on the ground glass.

This was with Gibellini Bellatrix, Nikkor-W 240 5.6 and Ektachrome 100. I had the above discussion on longer exposure times in mind when I set this up. The settings here were 1/2s, f/64. I check out the sound at the speed I want to take the pic, and the immediately faster and slower speeds, to see if I can discern something off. Crude way of testing relative speeds, and don't know how effective it is.
Colour version of the previously posted black and white long exposure. This was shot about 20 minutes later and the conditions had changed dramatically. I'm leaning towards the B&W overall, but the colour still has its appeal I think.

Fall Timewarp II - Third Falls on Canada Creek
Another 2-year-old image I discovered I never developed. Now that I think about it, I need to go back to this beautiful waterfall.
Chamonix 45n1, Nikkor 90mm f/8, Ektachrome VS:
Two photographs at a pond by the Batona Trail, near the small pinelands town of Chatsworth. Drizzle and clearing weather were about equally balanced that day.
The first, while I had the camera set up and the image framed, a moment of miracle light happened in the overcast sky, then disappeared as quickly as it came. Opportunities like this are rare for me.
A few minutes later.

Joe O'Hara,
My experience with encountering "miracle light" has been quite the opposite of yours. I have had many such experiences. Unfortunately, they almost invariably occur when I am out without a camera!
