Aberaeron

From my recent trip to Wales. Shot with my old Agfa Isolette. I found this print quite difficult to make. The buildings needed burning and everything below them needed dodging in order to get the detail of the water reflections under the bridge. This was an 'in at the deep end' job for me, because I have only been making my own prints for a couple of weeks and have never used dodge and burn techniques before.
The print itself is far superior to this scan. The detail is incredible. To the right of the row of houses, in line with the roof guttering, on the hillside in the background, there is a row of telegraph poles, in the print you can see the wires.
Now all i have to do is figure out how to lose that annoying piece of dust!

Thanks Bob. This is the last of nine prints I made getting the dodge and burn right and to my satisfaction. There are several with an obvious halo!
I do get a few odd looks when I unfold the Isolette, but now I can carry a print with me and show them the results! :smile:
