This is my faveriout 8x10 picture so far. Yesterday morning while out riding on my mountain bike, I accidentally came across this small track, my gut felling was to go and explore it, but my head was saying forget it Neil, stick to what you already know. Anyway as usual my stubborn head kicked in and off I popped into the unknown............ with shit like, how the f@ck am I going to explain this to Nuk, if I come off (you know what Im talking about).
Anyways off I popped and about 5 minutes into the ride I went past these big trees on my left and then some more on my right and I guess my photography insect kicked in and I stopped and thought "That might make a picture". So later after I got home I told Nuk about my adventures in the morning on the bike and automatically her instincts kicked and she started getting onto me about my age my stupidity etc etc (should have kept my mouth shut
Anyway after lunch, me and Nuk went to check the place out, Nuk carrying the tripod and me with the Chamonix. When we arrived at the spot that I saw in the morning (it was still there) I started to get sup up and Nuk started bitching about the mosquitos and the heat. As often as I can I keep her on my left side as that is deaf from 37 years of Oil Field abuse. I continued to set up the camera. The weather was so so, but once I got the competition that I was looking for I went ahead and loaded the film, at the same time the sun decided to pop its butifun head out and gave me some nice light.
I took three pictures. The one below is my favouiout. The other two had one with Nuk in it and one with me in it............I might post them later, but for now enjoy what I feel is my best 8x10 up to now as it has meaning to me, it was something that I saw and though, that could be nice.
There is very little PP in this, it actually took me longer to do the frame than the PP.
This afternoon I am going to shoot some birds with a birding friend of mine, tomorrow I will try and make a contact print of this.
