“You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you.”
― Alexander Den Heijer, Nothing You Don't Already Know
Very cool. I don’t think I’ve seen that effect with flowing leaves before.
Thank you both. The conditions were just right for that - flowing enough to show motion but not so many leaves to overwhelm the tannin water. These southern rivers don't flow like the mountain streams - they are slow and steady.
This along with 8 or 9 other images were featured in a small show with the local Riverkeeper association back in 2015. There was a large county park that had many miles of trails along this river that I photographed for years - sometimes flooding, sometimes in drought.
Speaking of flowing water, here's another old negative printed recently, this time along an offshoot of the Alapaha River near Jennings, Florida. Taken with exactly the same gear as the previous image - Chamonix 45n1, Nikkor 90mm + R25 filter, TMX, but developed in FX-39. Here is the 19x23 print as matted to 24x30 and photographed with my D800e in the "studio" area of my basement:
My good friend and I canoed to this remote area of north Florida a number of times. But the first time I went I shot 2-3 really stupendous negatives. I need to visit Florida again and go back with my Noblex, which I didn't have back then. This shot was about 30 seconds long if I remember.

From a few years ago. Linhof 5x7, 180mm lens, Tri-X in HC110. V700 scan.
That's really nice Ben. Love the detailed elements in the foreground contrasted with the moodiness of the steam off the lake and the clouds.
Thanks, Michael. It’s a tough negative to print, but I think I’ll have another go at trying to make a decent contact print.Originally Posted by Michael Roberts
