Critique Welcomed Smoke On The Water,...duck Too

[Brian Moore]

I posted a similar shot a week or two ago. The scene is Anaheim Bay in the Long Beach area of Southern California. The smoke is from a wildfire about 30 miles from where I shot this.

The one I posted before was shot with my Olympus XA. This image I shot with my friend's Plaubel Makina and Kodak Ektar 100 film. The Plaubel's meter wasn't working so I guessed at an exposure setting. Thankfully modern emulsions are forgiving.

Fabulous Brian. And what a gorgeous gradation of tones. Nice duck too!

Fab couloirs Brian, the duck timed nicely

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, I remember the first one, Brian. I like this one too. Nice subtle colours.

 

[Lesley Jones]

I like this a lot Brian. Scrolling from the top and those lovely faded tones, you would never expect the deep inky blue at the bottom

The inky blue tone surprised me when I saw it, Lesley. Thank you for your comment.
