Sounds like you should send the info you have to Bojidar so he can update his website.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I got up early, set up on the beach in the half light and waited in the cold hoping something interesting was going to happen. It looked like it was going to be a bust and I almost packed up and went back to bed when...

K.

Well I'll second the vote for having put superglue on the branch...

Not that unexpected as that tree is just out front of where I live! In general, however, the Horseman is not the most portable of set-ups. The "Titan" tripod alone weighs a tonne. The Shetland pony shot was taken about 20 minutes after this shot for which I had left the camera on the tripod and popped back indoors to collect the 50mm f/1.2.

I am at bit fixated on using the Horseman to photograph churches, I must expand my horizons a little.

Best wishes, Kris.

Today's choice:

Gravity!!! (by Gravity)
Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd)
Back in Black (ACDC)
Symphonie Fantastique (Berlioz)
Tears of Stone (The Chieftains with various artists)

Tomorrow would probably be different.

It was quite a windy day (and damn cold, about minus 4C, in Florida!) and the sun hadn't risen over the horizon yet. The only PP I have done is a little crop/straighten, a tweak of the curves and some dust spotting. Nothing out of the ordinary in PP in order to make any special softening effect.

K.

Actually it was taken on my Mk I kit lens as the DA* 50-135mm was away being repaired at the time.

The softness in the waves is because I used f/16 and 2.5 seconds at ISO 100.

Thanks for the kind comments. I'll submit it for the PPG!

I've had Doom Bar in the Cobweb in Boscastle. A nice pint and a highly recommended pub (if you don't mind cobwebs!).

K.

I'd have to disagree on that one. I'll be packing my teabags when I head off stateside tomorrow morning.

K.

Ohh thanks for that. I mainly shoot B&W, partly because I like it, and partly because colour is expensive (Fuji Provia is 2.70 a sheet!).

Malo... when I get a shot I am really pleased with I'll post it. Somewhat reduced of course (the scans come out at about 120mgb). Unfortunately the weather hasn't been conducive to the Horseman lately. My main problem is D&P as the darkroom at work is very busy and utterly filthy. Neither is conducive to good quality developing. I am thinking of buying some BTZS ("beyond the zone system") developing tubes so I can do them at home.

I wish I had some film ready when the snow hit. Shots like the Shetland pony one would have suited the Horseman down the the ground.

Best wishes, K.
