Wayne - this is wonderful, truly wonderful.

 

You and Adam should hook up for some "Ektar Cityscape" projects!

Phil, thank you for the compliment. I do like the photograph. Adam's shots of NYC are spectacular. The bridge in Adam's shots, as well as the one in my photograph, were both designed by the same person, Roebling. Here in Cincinnati, the bridge has been relegated to pretty minor duty and is now known as the "Purple People Bridge" as it serves largely as a walking route between Cincy  and Covington, KY. The bridge is still used for vehicle traffic, but is no longer a main route. The photo below was taken the same day as the cityscape; it shows a couple young men (Jackasses?) crossing the barrier between walking path and traffic route for the purpose of snapping selfies in the middle of the road. The cars and TRUCKS come across pretty fast.

The Valley of Stones NNR near Little Bredy in Dorset. In addition to the scattered sarsen stones (presumably left behind by glaciation), this is a remarkable place with its unimproved grassland, rich with local flora and fauna. 

Portra 400 and 28 Summaron-M.

You have a wide angle isn't ?

Really superb color and picture

Thank you

Sincere thanks, Phil.  I think I can safely say after some years of shooting this scene that Ektar owns this rocky "beach" :)  I've given some thought to passing some of these to Kodak.  Perhaps I will indulge myself one of these days and do it :)  Thanks again and please stay tunes for more episodes of "Ektar kicks ass" :) :)

Adam, you certainly get the rewards for dragging yourself out of bed early! Your colours using Ektar are sublime - as are the viewpoints you choose and your mastery of technique - have you considered contacting Kodak to see if they'd consider using some of your pictures for promotional purposes?

 

Thank you, Henry.  It was really a surreal sunrise that morning.

Adam the palette of color is wonderful in this picture

Ian - I really love the faint yet robust cloud formations in this one.  You might consider reducing the exposure slightly in the foreground as the (i) light tones seem to be able to afford it and (ii) it might add even more depth to the image.  Very nice.

Many thanks, Charles.  My ND grads come in very handy with this scene especially at sunrise, when the sun is coming from behind me and not illuminating the rocks.  I think this may have been a 3-stop medium grad.

A very engaging photograph Adam, the (almost) monochrome foreground gives a surreal effect as does the wisp of cloud!

 

Great family photos, Rob.  Moments to cherish, for sure, and you captured them so well.

Wayne - Very interesting, didn't know that your bridge was a also a Roebling project.  For those history buffs who don't already know, the Brooklyn Bridge (as Wayne says is depicted in my photo above) was DESIGNED by John Augustus Roebling, a German engineer.  But very shortly after construction, John Augustus died in a work accident.  So the job fell to his son, Washing Roebling, also an engineer.  But shortly after Washington took over he, too, hd an accident and became paralyzed and home-ridden.  So the ultimate job of the day-today on the ground work fell to Elizabeth Warren Roebling, Washington's husband, who knew nothing about engineering and initially just carried out her son's directions while her son looked on through a telescope.  But then she ultimately taught herself engineering and was able to oversee the entire project on her own.  If that project wasn't heroic enough, she also studied law and became a licensed lawyer.  What a woman!!

Phil, thank you for the compliment. I do like the photograph. Adam's shots of NYC are spectacular.

I know of a parliament of rooks. Apparently a building of rooks is another collective term. Just outside Ludwell in Dorset. BW400CN (I have only 5 rolls of this stuff left) and 28 Summaron-M.

Yes, certainly my inclination is for less exposure but it was quite harsh light at the time and I thought I'd run with the current fad for the overexposed bleachy Portra look. If you are going to use the expensive "premium" film stocks I guess you have to embrace the whole hipster lifestyle that goes with those. :D
