From the time i took the blad out in the snow

you might recognise this angle

It's times like this when I'm VERY grateful that I live in San Diego!

#4 - with the snow softening the light as you get further from the camera - gorgeous!

So many square crops Hamish - what gives?

 

[Hamish Gill]

This was the best snow fall I can remember Darren! It came down in one day, they rained and pretty much disappeared over night, that's the ideal for me ... Long enough for me to get wrapped up and go out snapping, but short enough not to cause the whole country to grind to a halt as it invariably does!

Everything has to be square and black and white now Chris ...
I can just about cope with 3:2 landscape, not portrait though ... I blame Pete, Victor and Carl

 

[Glen Roberts]

I don't know what it is but I really like shots 2 and 4 ...

 

[Brian Moore]

Its a very nice set, Hamish. I agree with Chris about 4 and also I like 2--something about that candy-cane object on the left catches the eye rather nicely.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I focused on that "candy cane" thing as it was the only thing i could focus on quickly ... It was snowing (obviously) and i was trying to avoid the hasselblad getting wet! I didnt think it would come out that well, but it does seem to work ... happy accident

Its the natural vignette of this lens that i like ...

Cheers again all!

What a super series Hamish and I like your treatment of the scans. My favourite though is the first. A wonderful shot. How about a touch of selenium tone?

 

[Hamish Gill]

I thought about it as it goes ...
I didnt do it for a couple of reasons, one i couldn't seem to get it right and 2 i didnt want to look so blatantly like i was just doing what you would do

here is an attempt

I managed to miss these and only saw them on the AOS forum earlier today. They are very nice Hamish my only gripe is the dust and the hairs! I presume they are removable and nut stuck to your negs?

 

[Hamish Gill]

I'll remove them digitally of needs be!
I was just saying to Shaun on aos, I've been pretty much working on the idea that I will worry about dust removal when I print something ... Somthing I intend to do more!
