Lime Kiln - Little Things

6x6cm silver chloride contact print

I went looking for Hell's Hollow Falls and found the lime kiln next to it, and the way the light was shining into it, even more exciting. There was a very steep stair case leading to the water directly behind me so I was happy to have my new 50mm. I just set the camera up almost inside the hole in the bottom of the kiln and came up with this composition. Semi-stand development, Grade two Azo, and a water bath kept the contrast in check.

it took me a few views to get the full perspective with this composition... which is very interesting ..... the range of this image is quite impressive also ... all in all a great photograph Shawn...... its fun looking at images that are so dimensional ...

Shawn, that's fantastic! This goes right into my favorites. Great use of contrast and space.

Thanks fellows! It was a combination of the light and the spacial relationships that attracted me to this in the first place. Glad it made you think a little!

Mark, there was a little bit of dodging and burning involved though not much considering the scene...

All the best. Shawn
 
Shawn, as a potter I can appreciate a good kiln:smile: Like Eddie I had to stare for awhile to figure out the details. This is great I think
