2. Sweaty Palms




3. Rising Structures




4. Orchids




5. Rising Structures II




6. Sweaty Palms II

A fine series Rob, but where is the Hexar?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

On top of my turntable...

 

[Dave Farnes]

That is a fine set of pictures. Love the soft tones, gives them an ageless feel.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Dave. I like the timeless feel as well.

 

[Pete Askew]

Damn nice, Rob and the colours from the scan have given quite a vintage feel I find; which works with the subject.

I have a copy of that book also.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Pete. Yes, I could have removed the coloured wash, but, as you say, it's compatible with the images. Very pleased with these shots.

I agree about the Atget-esque look of that first one, Rob. And Sweaty Palms is Weston-esque. Fine set. The greenhouse does indeed look like a 50's post card. Even the people appear to be dressed in the attire of the era. Excellent stuff Rob! (Every time I see your Hexar images I covet that camera.)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha, yes, one can see the history of photography there, from Atget to Weston to MacKillop That might not be how history sees it
