One of the weirdest pictures I've taken so far. That's how it came out of the camera, no postprocessing was done (except contrast). The shallow depth of field at f1.4 gives that "miniature" look, because the fence is in focus but the structure in the rear isn't. Info: 1/8sec, f1.4, 800 ISO generic film, handheld, Yashica FX-3 Super 2000, Zeiss Planar 1.4/50 T*.

Gas station on Portage Avenue in Winnipeg. Taken on a dense foggy night. Info: 1/30sec, Superia X-Tra 800 , handheld, Yashica FX-3 Super 2000, Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f1.4. Sharpened, cropped.

Taken with Contax RTS II

Great capture. Did you use a polarizer on this one?

Very nice. You can probably tell by now that I have a thing for B&W :)

Striking! Incredible B&W tones not to mention the crispness of detail. How did you convert to B&W?

This was shot down on the Old Bristol Docks. It is a favourite haunt of mine. Next time you are over here, get in touch and we can shoot a few frames together. Bath is just down the road as well. Stephen

Like this composition. Stephen

Yes, we are getting plenty of rain over here in Dunedin, NZ. We are currenly on flood alert with rivers breaking their banks. Where I took the waterfall image the annual rainfall is around 8000mm.

Nice spooky quality. I like it!

This is really cool!

Thanks! Good to be here.

Just click on "Click Here to Replace Photo" in the edit options above the main photo and upload a larger version. would love to see it.

Is that on the edge of a cliff? Brave cattle :)

Taken with a 50 f2.8 Distagon F on a Hasselblad 2003fcw.

Love all the interesting detail in this image Rick. Looks like you have a bit of Vignetting on the top right of the frame? Regards Stephrn

More than simply an historic house and garden, this splendid medieval Palace has been the home of the Bishops of Bath and Wells for 800 years. There are 14 acres of gardens including the springs from which the city takes its name. Visitors can also see the Bishop's private Chapel, ruined Great Hall and the Gatehouse with portcullis and drawbridge beside which the famous mute swans ring a bell for food.

Great scene!

Stephen, the spires are very tall indeed. Including them fully would have been more "faithful", but would have provided a much smaller and more distant picture, without the profusion and complexity which I wanted to show. Besides, the main spire just wasn't there before the restoration/embellishment of the late XIXth century, when Viollet le Duc believed in not only restoring, but also "improving"...

Nice perspective. Stephen

Nice composition and sharpness to this image. Might make a great B&W conversion as well. Printed large, this would be impressive. I personally would use the Clone Tool in Photoshop to remove tiny bit of spire showing 1/4 way down the frame on the left hand side. This might spoil the print. Stephen

Thanks for your feedback Zeiss Man. Regards Stephen

Cracking image. Regards Steve

very nice. Like how you framed the cowboy :)
