Anyone familiar with my stuff probably knows me best as a street photographer. But occasionally I get the urge to try a few landscapes, albeit in my preferred style. Figured I'd share. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6
Good ones, Neil. They are contrasty, but effectively so in my opinion. And true to the street, I see you found some tracks wherever you could. When we are somewhere that just about requires a landscape shot, I take it. Then with very few exceptions I shake my head when I see the result. Cape of Good Hope
I took a few pictures of evening light and shadows on the Solstice back in December. all: M8, 50/1.2 Noct "ASPH", filter, ISO 320 @ f/1.2, RAW, Lightroom
I just realized that I have another Solstice image scanned, waiting to be cleaned up in PhotoShop. Probably Leica M3 w/Canon f:2.8/28mm, Kodachrome II.
Yeah, Neil, I hold you to a pretty high bar. I think I agree with Michael. They are extreme in their contrast, but pretty effective. Did you use filters, or fast film? Or develop or print/scan for contrast or post process? Pretty interesting.
Nice going, everyone. Lots to enjoy here - glad to see I'm not the only one who has succumbed to landscapes. I especially like Harry's #2 and Orville's #1. Barry - love to say I'd shot these on film, but they're actually digital, all taken with the M8. #1 and #2 with a medium red filter to alter the visible spectrum and include infra-red, then post-processed to increase the IR effect and add some grain. They're similar in style to landscapes I used to shoot on Ilford SFX. #3 - #5 are unfiltered with some toning, for which reason they're more subtle.
This is a very good thread! Neil - #5 is my favorite. Michael S. - I really like the tones-within-tones in your "Cape of Good Hope". Harry - "Winter 2" really do look like a cold, foggy winterday here in my backyard. Trevor - I can't decide whether I like #1, #2, #6 or # #10 the best... Regards, Claus
