Oregon woods in all their glory.

                                                Woods. Rhode Island. Natural splendor.

 Hopefully this will be the last major snow for this winter. I can only hope.

Woods in Kentucky shot on Kodachrome 25, the successor of the great and lamented Kodachrome II. It was a nice film but it could not compete with the prior version. Kodak cited environmental issues but I never believed them. My opinion that this move started Kodak's eventual demise. At thr same time ti introduced their T-Max black and white films that were to my professional opinion inferior to Tri-X and Plus-X. But their biggest offense was the discontinuing of that threat Panatomic-X. A real sin. Go figure
 

I consider this image one of my most successful and satisfying autumnal Image. It was shot with a Fuji  S1 Pro with a mere 3.4 megapixels sensor mounted on a modified, cheap Nikon camera. However, it had colors of such beauty that mimicked Kodachrome. The place was North East Pennsylvania.   

 Another interpretation of nature in black and white. I think it works. 

Welcome autumn

 The woods next to my home in North East Pennsylvania. Nothing more to add.

Whose woods these are, I think I know..........

Woods with birch trees shot upstate NY with a Rolleiflex and Kodak TRI-X Pan. Very peaceful.

The way it looks

Late winter of a season that nearly wasn't. 

Have a peaceful Sunday

the mystique of mediom format black and white

Black and white has a certain mystique, a certain aura. It's because it is very graphic and shoes the essentials of an image. It is like radio as opposed to TV or movies. When one uses medium format the graphic nature increases because of the almost unreal sharpness. These images were shot with a Mamyia 654 and Tri-X Pan professional.

Have a great weekernd

More medium format images

These archival shots date from the late eighties and were shot on Tri-X. I do not recall the camera I used. They are from woods in north east Pennsylvania. I used an Epson V-600 to scan them.

Have a wonderful week
