IR? The foliage seems rather light. I bought some Efke IR820 recently so I was just wondering.

Dear BetterSense,

Good question, but the image is not an infrared image...

I captured the image in mid April with a K15 filter, which generates better separation between the dark evergreens and the lighter cattail foliage. There is no foliage on the trees, because the poplar leafs do not sprout until mid May combined with generous sunshine and heat, and the cattail leafs are dry and parched light yellow from the dry winter climate, which supports the darker remnants of last year's fruit. The filter made the cattail leafs lighter, and the darker shrubbery happened to be naked too. One match would have made the entire lower portion of the scene a true deep black...

Jim, if I could get just this ---> <--- much as good as you I'd be happy....
Another awesome photo you have there.

Dear Robert,

Thank you for your kind words...

I would state that you are doing quite well with your images, and that you have a very good grasp on your image's exposure, compositional balance, and tones.

Keep up the good work.

Here I go with another one. I shot this in FP4+ developed in Rodinal 1:50 with a red 25. Noy sure if I used a polarizer. I tried to place most of my tones in the extremes. Everything except the clouds I put pretty low somewhere between z2 and z3 and the clouds in z8 or so. the print is pretty sharp, and I think Rodinal is making grain very visible.

Lens: a tiny 135 Nikkor W 5.6 on a cambo 45N.

Sergio,
Wonderful photography ruined by terrible webdesign.
Please dont use Simpleviewer!
I would love to see your images fill my screen.

All in good intention..

Cheers
