Thank you Jürgen!Darr
I do like that image . Idea , composition and colors .:thumbup:
Jack, I'd love to see these in color. As for the BW, maybe a touch more contrast? Shooting them looks like great funHere are a few quick-process from the Capture Integration Miami event. Saw some old friends and made several new ones, plus we made some time to shoot a little. Worked these up on my laptop and will rework them on the big machine hopefully this week. We stopped at Clyde Butcher's studio -- his gallery of amazing B&W images was a motivator to say the least, plus he was a delightful guy to talk photography with. A memorable experience for sure!
B&W conversions all done in C1, processed as shot. The first 3 image are with the 40HR on my Arca tech cam, the last one is the 70HR on my Arca tech cam. All used tilt plus varying amounts of fall. C & C welcome:
PS: Yes, I *AM* wading in about 18" of gator and water moccasin swamp with my phase kit tripod submerged to get those first three images, and yes I was a little nervous and spent a lot of my time looking behind me! But IMHO the images were worth it and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The last image is taken from the top of a swamp buggy in a drier area.

Great stuff Jack! Clyde is quite the man! Makes you want to pull out the old view camera and shoot some film! Even though I live way north of Miami-Dade county now (I lived in Redland FL prior to Tallahassee which IS the Everglades), we still have all the swamp things that can kill you. Some of these views of yours look like they were made a few miles from where I live. Be careful as a neighbor's dog recently got bit by a moccasin and this was out front of our elementry school!Here are a few quick-process from the Capture Integration Miami event.

It's pretty dark in under the swamp canopy and exposures hovered around 1 second @ f11 ISO 35. C & C welcome:

Here are two of the above in color for reference:Jack, I'd love to see these in color. As for the BW, maybe a touch more contrast? Shooting them looks like great fun
OMG!! - We didn't see a single water moccasin! :ROTFL:PS: Yes, I *AM* wading in about 18" of gator and water moccasin swamp with my phase kit tripod submerged to get those first three images, and yes I was a little nervous and spent a lot of my time looking behind me!
Actually that was taken with the 80mm.Don, I just saw your shot -- nice see :thumbs: You were using a longer lens?
Well in Clyde's terminology, that would be a super telephoto LOLOL! Seriously, he told me his "normal" lens was a 90 on his 8x10 camera! (90 on 8x10 is roughly 45 on 4x5, which in turn would be about a 20 on full frame MF digital, or about a 12 in 35DSLR terms.)Actually that was taken with the 80mm.
Not so good at posting the image.
