I think the Periwinkle background is a bit busy. But both bridge shots are very, very nice. Good color and details in the rocks and water. Really well done.
Marnie aka Doe :-) =============== Here's three frames of Velvia I shot with the 67 recently. The first two are of a covered bridge that spans the Yuba River just east of here. It was originally built during the Civil War and is one of the longest covered bridges in existence. It has been rebuilt a number of times and is no longer open to anything but foot traffic. http://www.primelensphoto.com/bridge1.jpg and landscape: http://www.primelensphoto.com/bridge2.jpg Pentax 67II, 55mm, f22, 3 seconds. I had to use both a ND .9 grad filter AND a polarizer to slow it down that much. Luckily the sky was smiling on us that morning. Not a lot of post processing. Just a first pass at both of these. Also shot a couple frames of Periwinkles. They are growing everywhere right now. There was a large covering of them near the riverbank. This one was the best: http://www.primelensphoto.com/periwinkle.jpg Again with 67II and 55mm. Don't recall what stop or speed but most likely f4 due to the shallow DOF. For anyone who's interested (since I'm about to talk about film processing), I have all of my E-6 now done through A&I in LA. My local lab used to do 3 hr. turnaround but, of course, can't afford to anymore with the falloff in film shooters. A&I does a really nice job, though. I use prepaid mailers I get through B&H. They've gone to a smaller box to hold the processed roll which is too small for 220, IMHO. So this roll was wound a bit too tightly when it arrived today. Whatca gonna do? -Brendan ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
