Wonderful Sergio! Great composition and range of tones.
Wonderful Sergio! Great composition and range of tones.
at Beech Hill preserve, Rockport Maine. December 2016. 4x5 preanniversary speed graphic with 7.25" Verito soft focus lens. Fp4+ film in pyrocat hdc.
Good to hear. I like your honesty. (It was Julia Margaret Cameron who didn't focus her camera well.)
Thanks. The blending of sharpness and softness is what makes the soft focus different than pinhole for example. This is about the ethereal quality and shapes and tones. Sharp landscapes need shapes and tones too.
7.25" verito at the Ice Pond on Seguinland road, Georgetown Maine. This pond actually feeds the creek that goes past F Holland Day's chalet on the other side of the street where he, Clarence White, Gertrude Kasabier, et.al. summered more than a hundred years ago. http://www.afanews.com/articles/item...n#.WIANOfkrIUF http://www.leegallery.com/f-holland-day/photography/ I'd like to one day find the rocky piece of beach where Kasabier's "Heritage of Motherhood" was made.
9" gundlach hyperion lens. Hanging this film up to dry I wondered if I made a double exposure. After scanning, I decided it wasn't. Just a complex composition I was trying out. This shows the blend of softness and sharpness SF is good for. Beech Hill in Rockport Maine.

I like those second two better. more variety in tones and I think I need the straight lines (of trunks or stems) not just bent bending forms of the first two. =)
