Trees in the mist

[Hamish Gill]

Just some trees... in some mist... I quite like it though


Trees in the mist by Hamish_Gill, on Flickr

Taken with my Ricoh GR1s (thanks Peter!) and XP2 (of course)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, nice indeed. Any sign of a man in a gas mask? Lots of them around at the moment...

 

[Steve Dormer]

I like it too, gives a sense of loneliness and mystery.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Tis a nice shot H, makes a change to not see these guys in a those masks that Rob is on about. Lol.
Seriously though, very nice tones.

 

[Brian Moore]

Lovely shot, Hamish. Very artsy. I need to try that XP2.

 

[Peter McCullough]

Looking good Hamish. That's the first photo I've seen shot with that GR1s in about 7/8yrs easily, I don't think there's been 10 rolls of film put through it since I bought it new.

Glad to see your enjoying it! Nice results.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Lovely moody shot - Ilford should be paying you as the official XP2 sponsor!

 

[Darren Bradley]

Those tones are beautiful.

its so remote where we were staying that when I went out to take photos in the mist I did freak my self out a little ... And funnily enough a person in a gas mask did pop in to my head. Its a 'dead mans shoes' thing though rather than anything else ... Dan doesn't really scare me ... Not in that way anyway

I like it too, gives a sense of loneliness and mystery.

thanks Steve

cheers Dan ...

Do, it's still the top stuff for me!

I love it, I'm so happy to have one again ... All be it with a little bit of it held on with melt glue

I have tweeted this thread at them and suggested they should read the comments ... They are such wonderful, lovely, in fact I'd go as far to say beautiful people at ilford, they might well agree

Thanks Darren ... All down to the superb products of Ilford!


(Smells like sycophancy in here ... Sorry, I think that was me ...)

 

[Pete Askew]

A big thumbs-up from me too Hamish. Lovely composition and the slightly dark tones suit it well.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Cheers Pete! It always supprised me how much light comes from mist ... Is that what I'm trying to say?? How much mist can effect a lightmeter at very least. When I was metering for the shots with the Titan the exposure times were very short, to the point in fact of me worrying they were wrong. I guess the camera just sees bright areas of near white and meters accordingly, chucking, in this case the trees into near shadow. I hope to have similar results from the Titan before the week is out

 

[Andrew Cotterill]

That's very nice. I like the off-centre composition.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Thanks Andrew!

 

[Hamish Gill]

... Ilfords response

Nice try It is a great shot though

Worth a go i suppose ...

 

[Peter McCullough]

Hamish;

Forgot to say, your probably best to replace the Ricoh's internal battery as its probably on its last legs, might do no harm chum.


Have fun;
Pete

 

[Glenn Clabo]

I really love this shot Hamish. That broken...bent limb makes me wonder why.

 

[Beth Anthony]

i quite like it too, great mood.

 

[Ralph Thornton]

I like it to. Nice isolated subject and moody scene.
