Ice Stalactites with cool pattern

Neat... like the pattern and the film grain are interacting somehow! Was hoping it was some strange kind of salt crystal formation when I first saw it...

Nice. I'd love to get that kind of cold weather where I live.

Ice seems to be a continuing story from our Northern friends...makes for interesting photos. As Alex has stated, the only ice down here is in our G & T's

That's cool.

Why did you push the film so far in this situation? You must have had enough light to shoot at box speed.

Tony, we have had a very challenging winter in North America this year, but it's been fun to take advantage of it... Gin and tonics - summer! You guys must be winding down your summer currently. Now what are you going to drink?

Good work. I am glad to see yeou back and working again. Logan

Thanks Logan and everyone NOT in the frozen north Thomas, you must not have read all of the details of my salt submission (or I forgot to mention it). Basically I am continually doing testing on HP5+ to see just how flexible it can be. This is for multiple reasons, but mostly in preparation for if and when D3200 stops being produced. HP5+ is an incredible film, I've gotten some amazing images shot at 3200 on HP5+ and I wanted to see if it could be shot at 6400... because D3200 can be much more easily, but I wanted to know if it were possible with HP5+Anyway, I like to shoot these images "as I go" because I want to see how they react in different lighting situations, and also, using different light metering methods. So this happened to be the film that I had loaded in the camera, and the same with the salt submission, however, knowing that, I used it to my advantage to be able to shoot in natural window light, knowing I could get down to fully open and handheld and even with bellows extension still be ok for 1/500 or 1/250 shutter speed etc.

I'm glad you're getting some results, Stone, and pushing boundaries. It's a good thing to look beyond what most folks think is possible. As long as you're happy with the results, nothing else really matters. I agree HP5+ appears to be a very flexible film that I am very happy to use for everything.

Wow.
