I like this one a lot. Has a nice glassy sheen to it, which I love. Have you highlighted the lad? He looks perfectly lit. Great pic.

Thanks Rob. No, I did play with various versions but this one straight from SPP as a mono conversion, I did general global adjustments but not much at all as I liked it how it was. The sun was just away from the wall though and I think he caught a little, all luck.
Another from the same spot. Same Spot because I was stuck

Again, the lad is beautifully lit. Perfect. I like this series, Julian.

Thanks Rob. I have it my head this spot would be great for some B+W larger format film, think I mentioned it. I'll see if it can be done some time soon. Pretend these were my polaroid test shots.

Kind of you to offer Rob , but can you imagine though how far I'd sink in the mud. I'll get it done but need to wait for the tide to sync , I will will be interested to see the quality of Film in this scenario if nothing else.

Maybe that's what he intended to do Julian, let you sink in. Envy is a dangerous drive you know
as I here do. Envy you these two wonderful images. Right up my lane you know and please do not blame the quality on the camera

Ivar, yes I was not critical of the output of the camera to wish to try film on this shot. This B+W (on this screen anyway) the rendering I like a lot, my technical term for this output is 'the sticky gooey black treacle cake affect'.The right light gets it. The idea of not jumping in with film is. I am careful about shooting too many 120 rolls off,which is very few, so wait until I have a subject that, in my opinion will bring a decent film shot and such a shot here would be as much about the rendering of the film as the subject matter.Maybe that's what he intended to do Julian, let you sink in.
