Pond Scum #14

Richard Boutwell · Jul 9, 2007

Doc, I really like these more subtle photographs from this series-- the ones that are less litteral. I think this is my favorite so far. The soft reflection juxtaposed with the sharpness of what ever is on the surface of the water makes this one for me.

Thanks fellows! This is one of my favorites so far. The sun was playing games plus my neighbor (and good friend) was talking at me while trying to make this exposure... luckily ignoring him seemed to work and the sun finally poked backed out at the right time! Best. Shawn

Shawn, you're doing really well on this series. The title 'pond scum' is pretty effective too. To me it's amazing how nature can keep going the way we treat it sometimes. There's beauty to be had beyond all the scum. Very unique and engaging.

This is really great series you are creating. It really seems to be coming along rather quickly.

I wish I could provide more support then making comments.

Nice work.

Yours;

hi shawn

i keep coming back to this "pond scum" image.
i love the reflections, and the hint
above and below the water.

i can see how you will easilly be able to shoot 200 sheets of film there :wink:

keep up the great work !

Thanks guys! It's become obvious this doesn't have the wide appeal that some of my other work does, but it's really encouraging that many of the photographers whose work I respect the most are enjoying it. I feel like this is some of my strongest work to date. Now I gotta fix my new light leak and get back out there. Best. Shawn
