Cypress / Superpan

A bonsai-like cypress tree we visited by boat, on the James river in southern Virginia.

This was my initial roll of Rollei superpan 200. I think I like it.

Please pardon my slightly crooked flatbed scan of the print.

Gorgeous, Keith! A really fine print. The gradient in the background sky makes the shape of the tree against it really interesting.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate it! And like I said, you are all invited down to join me and shoot the cypresses! Just bring mud boots or waders. And nude models of course.

Hmm, y'all sure like that gradient... funny, I was thinking about how I was going to reduce it! When I shot it, I imagined the whole sky would be rendered quite dark and the tree would pop against that. But I see that the gradient indeed adds a different feeling. Lith may do interesting things with the gradient, I suppose that there could be a subtle colour change across it if I get it right.

Thanks again, for the comments and the ideas.
 
Great shot. As always. Look forward to the lith version as well as the next trip.
 
keith - good work - makes me now wish I had traveled with you & Richard on the boat instead of by car to Claremont. But I'll bring waders and nude models next time. BTW, what is the black horizontal line accros the top? Doc.
