Title: Stones
Post by: Timo Löfgren on December 29, 2010, 10:13:31 am
Autumn beach without any people. Autumn Winds were take off the leaves of trees and nature began to look north as omens of winter outcome. Builds calmly field camera and viewed the peace reversed the landscape focusing screen. There were only black and white film so focused on simply describing the coastal rocks. A great trip and a few successful exposure. Wista SP 4x5 "+ Schneider Apo-Symmar 210mm and T-Max 400

That is a great picture. The strong diagonal with the rushing water capped by the three groups of stone. Magnificent .

Ho hum. Just another of Timo's series of splendid photographs.

Timo, keep your eye on B&W magazine so you can get a bunch of this stuff into their 2011 portfolio contest. I don't see how you can miss.

Almost half of the picture is that foreground rock, which isn't very interesting. On the other hand, I don't think you could improve this picture by cropping it.

Good heavens!!! How could that possibly be??? Sounds as if more than one person on here is experiencing what Eastern philosophers call the onset of enlightenment.

LOL that's very funny. We've both been over the cropping question a number of times. But in general I'm in the "less is more" camp on whether to crop. But I wouldn't hesitate to crop if I thought it would improve the composition.
