Your ANCHOR images are great .
Is the magenta cast wanted or just a result of a "wrong" profile ? ? ?
.

Regards Jürgen
No, those are the 'correct' colors. I photographed the images with the Betterlight without the IR block filter, then white balanced it for a grey card. Without that filter, the betterlight captures both IR and visible light, so the colors are changed, dependent upon the amount of IR light (less before the sun rises, more as the day goes on)

JimCollum, those Angkor Wat photographs are amazing! It is truly inspiring. The merging of architecture with nature combined with the amazing lighting and unreal yet tasteful colors.

Hello Gary

Thanks for your reply . In principal , I think print exchange is a good idea .
It shows us more from the work of other photographers .
I have only a very small room and any available room on the walls is filled with framed images .
And I have many images in folders which reside in drawers . And I think , it would be a pitty to hide any more images .
But I am willing to send some of my images , if the cost is reasonable .
Think of the calendar postage . But , there would also be the chance to send data via "sendthisfile" or an other carrier , and the receiver could print the image himself on his desired paper . Let me know more about the print exchange .
Hi Jurgen (and any others who might be interested in a print exchange),

I know just what you mean about having limited space. My home office is rapidly filling up with 6 years of accumulated prints, not to mention my equipment, printers etc. And certainly the cost of printing (paper, ink, postage etc) is not getting any cheaper. All in all however, I have learned so much from participating in these exchanges and have so many beautiful prints to enjoy now, that I will continue for as long as I possibly can. We have regular monthly participants from England, Norway and India and of course, all over the United States. Each exchange is limited to 12 participants (so you make 12 prints, send them to me, and I return 1 copy of your print and a print from each of the other participants).

Return postage from the USA to overseas locations is a very reasonable $12.45 USD (flat rate, Priority Mail), so the cost of postage is not so bad. The whole point of our print exchange is to see prints from other people, so sending a file to another person for them to print is not really what this is all about. If anyone is interested in participating in either in a B&W or Color print exchange, send me a PM.

What a great shot with a good composition . I believe , if the person would not be there , it would be a clean but "dead" image . So it is filled
with "life" . Thank you .
Unfortunately , I have no chance of such architecture , where I live .

Also I must say , I am fascinated by the truck cemetary images , posted by Jim .
These images show dead material , but are still full of life .
Who has produced the cars , who drove the cars and earned his income for his family , and who is now takeing these beauties apart , and earns money again ? ? ?
If that is not life , what else is life .
I have a great preference for junk yards and similar old things , not beeing used anymore .
A junkyard is unique . What you find today , will not be there by tomorrow .
A junkyard changes everday , but a cemetary of old trucks gives you peace and time to think about the past .

Thanks Jürgen!

I waited a long time for that one person in the shot! There was either nobody or too many people.

Even with a view camera, "decisive moments" happen!

excellent shot.

what grabbed me first was how it looks so much like a computer rendering; must be the precision of the building lattice and shadowing

Thanks Rob and John!

The National Gallery in Ottawa is a fine piece of architecture. Here is a fisheye view of the outside. The guys in the foreground were taking out the spider's eggs to do some soldering on the metal mesh.

This is one of the pics I like most in this thread. The transitions from focus to non-focus areas are very subtle. Everything in the picture looks 'smooth' and sharp where it should be.

Jurgen: thanks. those were taken when i was a bit younger and in the thrall of edward and brett weston, ansel and fred picker. they scanned extremely well using the epson 700 and silverfast. in those days, black and white was the only practical way to go. it still looks luscious

I am grown up with B/W and for me too , it was the only practical way , to produce images in my own darkroom . I do love B/W and many of my work is framed . Today I do B/W in my "lightroom" , not LR from Adobe .
Here an image I took last year . Due to protection works againt flooding waters , this place looks completely different now. But I have that shot .:)
