Dawn, Assynt

“…Who owns this landscape?-
The millionaire who bought it or
the poacher staggering downhill in the early morning
with a deer on his back?

Who possesses this landscape?-
The man who bought it or
I who am possessed by it?

False questions, for
this landscape is
masterless
and intractable in any terms
that are human…”

Thanks for comments, they are a great encouragement.

It's my ambition to get a book of my photographs published and I've been trying to gather enough material together for a few years now. It's been a pretty slow process (bad pun alert!) and feedback like this is a great incentive for all those early starts and 3 hour drives...!

Mono - well spotted, that is Stac Pollaidh in the background!

Paul - see http://www.blackandwhiteslide.com/Filmreview.html

Peter - this is a favourite spot of mine too. I've many photographs taken from around here over the years, but I've never had light as special as this before. Also, a dr5 article for B+W mag sounds like a great idea. I'd love to do one, although I'm not sure if it's something they'd be interested in or not?

Thanks again,
Gavin
 
Gavin, the editor is Elizabeth Roberts and her email address is listed in the magazine as lizr@thegmcgroup.com, so presumably it is OK to contact her that way. I'd put in a link to here and just ask if she would be interested in either an article or even some shots as part of a wider article on available techniques and processes. She can only say no!

Best of luck, Peter
 
A simply marvelous shot. Thank you very much for sharing it.

Aaron
 
Thanks Gavin. Didn't know it was called dr-5. A friemd of mine always reckoned that B&W film could be developed as negative or positive; this proves it. I'll certainly be having a go....

Regards, Paul.
 
Photographs get no better than this. Thank you for posting. It's beautiful.

An absolutely stunning photograph Gavin. Only wish it was larger to take more of it in.

Cheers
Vincent
