Very nice.

Congratulations Eden.

I have always had dificulty coming to terms with fitting my snapping in with groups of non-partisan companions. I understand your dilemma but feel zero envy. I am coming to the reality that, for me, photography as a serious pursuit is a solitary enclave, best achieved on my 4x5 and film. Anything el...

Alex, I applaud the bold move to take on flora without being seducedby colour. But I suggest it is well worth while keeping in mind that a B&W is not a colour shot with the colour simply turned off. A very simple pitfall with the way digital operates. In B&W you really need to at least think...

Alex, that makes the embarrassingly difficult process of logging in worthwhile. .

It seems you have found the Barbados end of Adelaide.

Hope you are unscathed by climate events across there.

S W E E T ! !

Alex, speaking as one who did shitloads of performance photography back in the day, the other great pitfall to avoid is looking straight up the nostrils.

A canine rat is a whole lot better in front of a face than a wretched microphone!

It is always emphasised at this scale how the actual fly is merely a nuts 'n bolts transport mechanism for the transit of an eye which is so charged with lustrous beauty.

I hope that they do their fish and chips in dripping and not wretched oils!

A good find, Doug, but possibly a bit unbalanced.

It's probably just me but I see the colour as an irrelevant distraction. On the other hand the B& W is an absolute cracker and the power of the structure is enhaced by the light and minimises the adversity of the white-out of the sky. Curiously, given the colour of the structure, B&W film wo...

Be still my beating heart! As you're possibly aware I have quite a penchant for this style of structural form. Mind you, I'm busting to have a crack at making more of the contrast of the grid of cabling that flies overhead.

What a great find Doug! AND really only works as a colour shot (although I would relish a chance to squander some FP4+ on it)!

Then again Alex, shifting left & right might have rendered a straight railing.

How long did the Madame Tussaud's mannequin grace you with such stoic dedication and persistance? Or was it a set-up?
