Cobalt Morning

This is a shot taken on my America trip of October 2007. This was some of the first rolls I ran through my F4. I took 20 rolls of Velvia 50 on that trip and didn't see the results until much later (had to leave my film at a lab in the US and get them shipped months later). This remains a favourite. The F4's matrix meter nailed just about every exposure. This was good because I'd had less than a month with the camera before leaving on the trip and no experience with Velvia.

Digger II and Landscape Test

This is another view I really liked. I'm trying to find a good way to accommodate portrait orientation shots and landscape ones both in a good size. This is therefore also a test.

The interest here is the mass and ruggedness of the digger. I've emphasised this by lying down and shooting up from under one tread with a wide angle lens. The best use of wide angles is to get close and bring the viewer in. Here, I think the digger becomes fairly "in your face".
