Rocks, water, and trees

[John Allen]

seem to be a common theme here. Taken ten years ago in the Smoky Mountains with a pocket camera. Take a peak at the exif.

B&W conversion done with Vitamin BW.

Ha my first Digi was a Minolta Dimage A2. Took it around the Cevenne for a month's trip. Still have a a few raw files about. One day it simply stopped whilst on a beach here in Cornwall. Sony had just brought out Minolta and would not even entertain fixing it. (Hate Sony now ). I am sure it had a CCD sensor 8 mega pixels. lovely camera at the time.
Good pic John I very much like the composition you have achieved.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, nice composition, John.

 

[Rense Haveman]

Beautiful, I like it!

 

[John Holland]

Very nice, John

 

[John Allen]

Thanks, everyone. It was actually a better composition straight out of the camera, but I noticed it was not level so lost a bit when I rotated and then cropped.

I thought I had commented on this the morning found out I needed to click the post reply Doh. Nice shot John

Thanks, Julian.

There were Dimages and then there were Dimages. The A2 was a great camera for its time. I think Nikon stole their design for the tilt/swivel lcd and used it on the D5100 and other cameras. On the other hand, the x1 was an ultra-compact that could fit in a shirt pocket.

This is a Dimage like the one this shot was taken with:

This is one like your A2

My bad I've just looked and it is the A1 but almost identical, It's got a layer of dust now. I am surprised how small it is, as at the time it did not seem so and thought I had the camera of all cameras.

The A1 was also a fine camera for its time. Konica-Minolta looked like they were positioned to make some noise in the digital camera world and then, as you mentioned, they were bought out by Sony.

For all it's worth, I like it too. Like a brook right here beside us.

That's a natural forest floor. Nature arranged this one. None of those rocks were placed there by human hands.

You are quite right, only the viking Gods

It maybe old but it's a damn fine composition and I like the tones and textures very much.

Thanks, Pete. This was a natural for conversion to b&w. There was hardly any color in it other than a little bit of green.
