Ahhhh,...the old glamour glow. I was wondering about the softness. Its very nice, Rob.

 

[Pete Askew]

It is indeed and I like the way the cloud leads you to the castle. It nice to have that bit of dock and metalwork in the foreground to balance the composition too.

You wouldn't believe the amount of blowing I had to do to get the cloud to line up in position.

As they say in Southern California,..."That blows."

 

[Rob MacKillop]

As long as it doesn't suck!

 

[Glenn Clabo]

The clouds...the clouds...I love what the clouds do to this shot Rob.

 

[Pete Askew]

Actually Rob, now I come to look at it closer, isn't that the same cloud I had in my railway shed shot? I paid good money for that!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You got me, Pete. Sorry about that. You suck and I'll blow - should be back with you in no time.

 

[Shaun Haselden]

Yes, I agree with the comments on the clouds. Also, many years back I tried SFX film but found it very disappointing when compared to what was then Konica IR. I had no end of success with the Konica but just couldn't get the SFX to produce the goods. I am quite sure there was something I was doing wrong but to this day I have never used it again.

Cheers, Shaun. I must say I quite like it, but it is relatively expensive, so might not use it often.

Have you tried the Rollei infra red film...? Again, pretty damn expensive but a friend of mine has had so much success with it. I may give it a go.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No, I haven't, but it's something forthe future...
