Thanks, Gary.  That Ektar really has a mind of its own!

Can't beat that combo Adam, SWC, Ektar, fantastic location, great time of the day, and pure skill.

Gary

 

Really nice, Gary, especially the first.  Has a nice airy feel to it.

Since it's topical.

Americas Cup from yesteryear, when it was held in Auckland.

The viaduct basin was the hub if you like for the racing.

Not sure of the film, the numbering and identification didn't mean much to me.

Likely Fuji or Ektachrome, and possibly with the Contax AX.

Lovely, Philip.  Great natural colors.  Hate to stir the pot, but I see digital versions of this all day long on FB and they all make my eyes bleed.  

Here's a non-makro shot of the forest.

Outstanding  photograph.

 

1. The composition is excellent. Are those two tiny objects about 1/4 in, from right, people?

2. The GSW690III is a true standout. It has me thinking about selling off all of my Hasselblad gear and using the funds for a 4x5, or larger, format rig.

3. I read that the Across film is more reliable than other B&W films in at low light performance, i.e. true to metering results. Do you find that to be true?

 

Thanks again,

 

Wayne

Thanks.

 

1.Yes, there are two people above the fall and they do give an accurate scale to the scene.

2. My GSW690iii is an old pre-digital friend, owned from new. I wanted 6x9 for the magazine images I was supplying at the time. At that point I was using a Mamiya 7(ii). The Fuji became my primary camera because I preferrred it to the M7(ii) for several reasons. The M7(ii) quickly became redundant and I eventually sold it but the GSW is too good to let go and stays.

3. Fuji Acros has the best reciprocity of any current black and white negative film, in my experience it's good up to 2 minutes, so is ideal for long exposures. I use Acros more than any other b&w film.

I remember when you asked for views on a few variations of this scene quite a while back, but as I recall none was as dark a shot as this one. I liked those versions a lot but this is also a very cool take on the scene. It's amazing how the light affects a scene.

 

I like that the blue sky peeks out above the pinkish clouds and that the rocks in the foreground look so crisp and 'real'. The contrast between those simple ancient rocks and the buzzing civilisation a few miles away is quite staggering in some armchair philosophical way at least :) I also like that the black whatever-it-is beyond the rocks leads in very nicely to the shadows of the structure in the sea and then onwards to the city. It commands the eye very effectively. It's a really cool shot, I think.

 

 

The pump is primed....  :p

Thanks, Philip.  Yes, I have gone back to the well at this location equipped with the lessons learned from my prior experiences.   Probably not my last time, either :)

 

I appreciate your feedback.  Means a lot.

Thank

 

This one is outstanding. I'm deeply impressed and would like to see a print of it, as I think there are a lot more details to be revealed in print.

Thanks a lot, James.  It is really great to learn from all of you and then be able to improve a little.

I have throw this up on Flickr and set the size to the max so that should provide a lot more detail.  Will keep it that way for a few hours in case you are interested.

The real magic, though, is when this image is printed on Fuji Flex high gloss paper.  What a great paper for film!

Thanks again, Adam
