Nice. Love the radiating light from behind the clouds, HiHO! and goes so well with the subject. The haze-free skies are so cool when there are clouds - came out terrific. I need to look into the XO filter. I have been using orange for lots of the LF. maybe the wrong choice and maybe the XO is thest standard on the 35mm.

Nice tonal range here. See, 35mm can deliver a nice image THe XO filter is my favourite for landscape images too.

Tony, Thank You. You set a very high bar w/ your work.

Good job metering this scene, too!

Andrew thank you. I appreciate any observation you make - good/bad/other. I have little confidence in my metering skill, but sometimes it works anyway. This was TTL meter, so not as hard. The church interior was the most difficult I've done. Exposures ranged from 30s-3m (-3-4ev).
I hope your time w/ your family (you mentioned in the Marine Bldg) is wonderful. Again, Thank You for for this & any comment.

Nice one HiHo: I cannot add too much thought about the exposure as it looks darn good to me, although I have little experience with B&W films at all. The sunburst and and few lens flares seem to fit the scene very well. Shooting towards the sun has always been an extreme challenge for me and getting clean results never mind what media I've used.
A bit of thought on the composition. However, one can never judge why or why not having not been there. Was there any way to exclude the front post by moving forward or even placing the camera on top of it? Additionally, could the very top of the main upright bridge support have been included? Just scrolling up and down to eliminate the posts makes a bit cleaner view to me. These are only thoughts of composition ideas and nothing more.

Trail, you launched alot of thinking here. That front post gave me some ambivalence also - its almost a habit to include something close to give a sense of depth. Sometimes works fine, but here - I'm mixed about it also. Portrait framing would give me the top of the tower, but prob. none of the deck to the right of the tower. Something about the deck expanding out seems needful for most bridge shots - drama in the expanse. Thought about going to the trusty 24mm lens, but then everything is writ small. The closest I can think of would be to crouch or lie down to the left of the front post - would give at least some of the other posts in view. The angle would get close to the top of the tower, if not include the top.
'Hard to say how much I appreciate your kind help & careful observance. Its really big medicine for me & most valuable. 'Presses me to think more about what was/is possible. I do find myself wallowing on the ground alot for shots - sometimes there's no substitute. Again, Trail - thank you so much.

Hello HiHo, I appreciate your thoughts and efforts to present these nice images. At times it is very hard to critique or offer up suggestions on compositions not knowing the total circumstances as you've outlined back in your comment. Simple things like viewfinders that show less then the lens is taking in can add some frustration at times. As far as including FG objects for various reasons I'm a firm believer in that process. But to a point. The point being does it help or hinder the view. In this case maybe inclusion of it entirely or not at all, hard to say. Partial as seen here might be intrusive instead of helping. Again, all ones personal tastes and POV. From my perspective I find I spend a lot of time trying to minimize the amount of objects in a scene. Not to say I would not do a FG to BG shot with items all the way through the scene, but not items jetting in from various sides and making them an eye draw away from the main subject. Not sure I'm making too much sense here, but maybe of some help on the composition aspect.

Trail - again I appreciate your thinking. In making sense - you very much are making sense. My inclusion of FG object can get reflexive rather than contemplative & deliberate. I'm gonna encounter this situation again - where FG objects give me ambivalence. It probably sounds simplistic, but it makes me want to try shooting with and w/out objects until my senses get more keen on what adds & what distracts from the composition. Much of the reason for the reflex is to impart a more 3D affect, not unlike Tony's superb shots of the Tree Branches & Wave Lines. For the bridge shot, getting far enough away to include a full tower places everything at a min. distance & would seem to flatten out the image - hence the posts. There are likely other tools available to amplify the sense of space. In Tony's Tree Branches, the reflective highlights on the top middle to far right - show the different placement in relation to the sun/light source. The upper branches coming down w/out showing their connection to the trunk seems to help there also, as does the large branch expanding out, away from the point of view. A way to accomplish this w/ a bridge shot is to get closer to the span and have it occupy a significan portion of the top of the image - so the expanse conveys the scale/distance. Any other ways to convey space/distance/depth would be of great interest.
I appreciate your getting my thoughts onto this topic - it'll surely be a repeated condition I have to resolve frequently.

Yeah, you need to stop hanging around the St. John's bridge. If you don't, then when I come down from Seattle, visit BlueMoon, and then the bridge... there'll be nothing left to photograph. In other words: "Save some for mee!!!"
