Last Assembly

Another photo that was long in coming. In early summer, I took note

of how the sun and stones worked with each other in creating shadow.

By early winter (that is snow on the ground) the sun had dropped low

in the horizon at the proper angle, and the time just before sunset

provided the longest shadows--creating the intersection of shadow and

stones.

There is symmetry in all directions--depending upon which area one

chooses to fix their gaze the geometry of the stones and shadows

appears in a new configuration. This shot was made on Ilford FP-4

(35mm) at f8 for approximately 1/15th of a second.

This film scan is not the best--the plan is to rescan at a later time

with better equipment. The actual print is on Canon Pro Luster--and

has a better contrast range than seen on this screen resolution image.

The line of the cornfield behind the stones in print is quite

clear--and with very little imagination appears to be shadowy figures

standing in formation...

Its impressive to me. 'Wish the reflections didn't blow out the face of the stones so much, but its an excellent image, well done.
