I'll make a big guess that Rob took the shot at "Sculpture By The Sea" at Bondi Beach. If that's the case, the seaside light (with lots of backscatter from the sand and surf) could give this lighting quality which looks a little like fill flash. Looking at the sky it's a patchy near-overcast that can also give an effect like open cloudy day shadows but with sunny highlights. We often see this in Sydney. Or Rob might have savagely bent the curves to lighten up the shadows.
But I do agree that it looks almost unnatural, a little like an Ilford XP2 shot in its tonality though I'm sure Rob would have used his *istD The sharpness isn't up to his usual high standard. regards, Anthony Farr > -----Original Message----- > From: Shel Belinkoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Gotta think about this one, Rob.
