Onions and such...

I like your filter... Tremendous glow and tone in this print. First carrots, now onions. Skulls all along. What's next?

Mark, If an hour exposure is good enough for Weston's Pepper #30 I'd say its good enough. (Athough I don't know exactly how long Weston's exposure was, it was long.)

Glad to see some more of your work.. I am a fan. Any more carrots or have you moved on to onions?

Patrick

Beautiful composition and rendering, like a flemish master.

patric the pepper #30 was a 8 hour exposure.

Mark, beautiful light, tonality and composition. Bert

Thank you all!

Thomas ~ Yes, it's a great filter, crisp and clear! It's kind of fun matching such filters to the moment when working... Carrots and onions will always be there, though I'm not posting any of the current carrots. There are other things too, but just for fun. I thought I'd keep the APUG stuff all onions and carrots. The skulls just sneak in on their own when I'm not looking...

Patrick ~ As Mike said, Weston's Pepper #30 was an 8 hour. He made very small waterhouse stops which he inserted inside his lens to get a very deep depth of field. He lost a bit to diffraction, but it doesn't seem to harm the contact prints...

Vic ~ The Flemish still-life paintings were on my mind when I was making this one, especially while printing. But I'm afraid mine is probably more phlegmish...

Svend ~ Yes the long exposures do something special to the light. They've become a personal tradition, catching that last fading light in the last, long exposure...

Mike and Bert ~ Thank you! I'm glad it comes across well. It's a kind of special image to me...
