A Founder Member Finally Joins the Forum
Hi everyone
At last I have my own account; this is a great leap forwards for me as I don't do computers. Here are a couple of efforts; many thanks to Jo for getting the images into Photoshop and then this forum.
We spotted Hornby Castle on the way to Ribblehead Viaduct; it was a great piece of luck as it all came together nicely allthough we never did get a shot of Ribblehead that day.
I know pictures of sunflowers have been done lots of times but not by me

As it happens, I have a similar shot of the sunflowers in glorious Astia; for which I didn't need any filters and got a shutter speed of 1/30sec; I think that's the fastest I have ever used in LF
I know I could be accused of being biased, but I really like the Hornby shot; in my opinion, it is one of the best B&W shots Helen has taken.

I still think the Hornby shot would work nicely as a sq*** crop.... GDRVF.

Marc, You are right, it will work as a square crop and we thought so at the time, so we are going back again in the autumn when the trees have their posh autumn clothes on. At present I feel that it would be a bit boring without the foreground interest.
Steve, the lens was my equally inevitable 150mm as I seem to see all my pictures at this focal length, except when I don't
Paul, or should it be Master, we all have our breaking point

I would crop the Hornby picture a little - 3cm off the top, 2cm off the right, and about 1 cm off the bottom. If it were my picture, at least
Then again I would probably have shot it on 9x12cm film using a 180mm lens, which would just about give the crop I'm thinking of
Or 5x7" film and a 270mm lens...
