Hi Gari, Got myself a V700. Not bad so far. Does my 8x10 transparencies but would have wished that Epson did a proper film holder for that format. I agreed that the stump at the corner does not benefit the composition at all. I have an ilfachrome print made by bph and had it cropped out by using sma...

This was taken last November at Golitha Fall, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall.

Just got a scanner and trying it out.

Joanna,
Great job with the 1st picture. Can't wait to see more.

Hi Mark, This is still salvageable. Since you know how much you have overexposed, reduce the developing time if you are doing your own processing. Try a sheet in 4 minutes and see what you get ( a tad longer if you are doing non rotation processing). Adjust your developing time according to how dens...

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/vuichong/NeroLemania.jpg This was taken with 75mm F1.9 Oscillo-Paragon Ilex #3 Shutter. The lens barely covers 6x6 at infinity but great for macro application. The medium used was polaroid 57. The exposure (not recorded) was determined by using the macro expos...

Agree with Paul. The inclusion of the train transformed a great shot into stunning panaromic (or was it cropped to panaromic from 5x4?).

Hi DJ, Good selection of pictures. My favorite would have to be "Elgol beach, after sunset". The composition works for me. Of the Castle Stalker, I preferred the 1st because there are more details in the castle than the one with the 'whippy' sky. As to foreground I would have liked to see some reeds...

Hi Leon, Could you not improve DOF using front tilt? Most lenses have an aperture where they are at their sharpest (usually between f16-32). As aperture becomes smaller the image begins to suffer from light diffraction. This is why pinhole photography is never sharp because of light diffraction. Som...

Hi Charles,
Beautiful shot. Would the shot work better if the stone was higher up? Just thinking out loud.

You have a nice collection there on Iceland.

Hi Jool, Thanks. I often use polariser too because it's very glary here in Australia. However, judicious use is still warranted as some scenes may actually suffer if used inappropriately. I have found that water reflections may be more pleasing than one that had been polarised. IMHO I think your sho...

Hi Jool, I can't see what benefit polariser would do to this scene. Could you tell us why you have chosen to use polariser? If your intention was to take off the reflection this may cause harder to distinct the water from the river bank. Some reflections may actually lift the bottom up a bit. I can ...

Hi Andrew, I am familiar with this part of Bodsworth and personnaly I would have preferred a colour version of this one. I am not sure whether any of the plants were in blooms when you were there. When I was last there, many of the plants were in blooms and because there were a variety of them, the ...

Hi Jool, You have chosen quite a challenging lighting condition to phtograph. Sometime it can make good sense to come back again when the lights are better. For situation like this, 2 or 3 stops graduated ND placed on the top would make all the difference. However the reflection in the middle may be...

Hi Tim/Jo,

Thank you for the advise and reassurance that I won't be infringing on anyone ideas.

My friend has given me a few ideas and these may involve pointing the camera upward. It might be a challenging exercise with the 8x10 .
