Try saying that with a mouth full of Jaffas.

They are endemic to Australia, commonly called grasstrees, used to be called blackboy which isnt appropriate any more obviously. Any how isnt so much about the plants but the environment (you can google them to see a botanic picture)

  1. Yes
Like the way all those filaments (?) cross over each-other. Would be effective to array a bunch of these in a row.

What did the green filter accomplish?
 
@Hekoru I use it mostly for alternative printing, cause the experts seem to like it. Use it a bit on sheet film, the rest is mostly d76. Think its more important for printing to expose the negative right and chose the right film for the conditions. This picture was taken on an overcast day, so I chose hp5 and a green filter to give me as much detail as I could. If it were sunny I would have used fp4 and maybe no filter.....anyway Im still learning, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.
 
Love it! I think an even more tight crop to just one of the plants (no edges) would also provide a really interesting abstract print.
