I have a vague feeling that I've seen these surge towers, but it would have been in 72/73 summer and the road conditions were all dirt. I'm not 100% sure, but they do ring a bell. When you mentioned the slight keening sound, that hit a memory cell somewhere in my noggin as I remembered the high pitc...

Thank you Barry.

Interesting in a couple of ways. Firstly the soft focus lens, I'm not familiar with it but presumably it's soft focus is inbuilt, not from a purpose built metal filter with holes in it. There also looks like a missing anti halation coating on the film, which I know is not true. But on the right side...

Thanks Maris, I must admit I didn't think of William Henry Fox Talbot when I saw this. :o I've had my eye on this house for a while, the newish owners have been giving it the onceover and as soon as I saw the colour scheme, I knew it was going to be a definite subject at some point in time. The owne...

Nothing like putting your toe into the water!

Sorry about that, but I couldn't resist.

The highlights in the water and on the rocks are just wonderful, 1/30th or 1/15 of a second? Whatever, you've managed to get just the right amount of blur, without getting blur; if you know what I mean.

Thanks Maris. I do believe this is one of my better portraits of late. I too was worried about the background, but having the longer lens and being closer to the subject certainly helped. I actually took this in portrait format, but it was too busy, so some quite judicial cropping elevated it rather...

Very interesting choice of trunk section deployed there Maris. You just have enough light from the right direction to emphasise the ripples/wrinkles. Reversing the film back for a downward, or underneath DDS insertion is something I haven't done myself. At least I cannot remember ever doing that; bu...

Brings back memories of the north bound drive on the Hume Highway into Jugiong. As you descended the hill and went round the bend, still descending, one would be greeted with an avenue of Poplar trees, often shrouded in a low lying mist in winter time. I like that you've used portrait mode for this ...
