Your fence is washed out in the foreground there.... needs some burning. Otherwise looks very nice, I'd say

Thanks for the feedback Logan, I'll have to work on that.....

Look at that Spanish moss. Where are you--Georgia? South Carolina? Those pictures remind me of scenes off horror programs like Night Gallery, etc. I like them.

John, like you images. You have sorted yours out to where you are getting good clean exposures. Did you have any light leak problems? Bill Barber

Now I AM disgusted. I've got all this Hasselblad junk, Nikkormat junk and lenses, Graflex junk. And all I really need is an oatmeal tube.

Thanks Henry!

I'm in South Carolina. This was shot at Magnolia Gardens which is near Charleston.

Thank you Bill! No, I did not have any light leak problems. Hopefully, none will develop!

Well, the camera that I made does not use an oatmeal tube:



So, don't feel too bad!

Look at that--a matched set. I suppose the smaller one is the battery pack for the motor-drive on the big one.

Great images! I'm from Charleston and am very familiar with Magnolia Gardens. FWIW, Magnolias aren't oaks though

Thanks!

I should have called the thread Magnolia Gardens' Oak. The 'magnolia' was a reference to the gardens, not the oak........

Oh yea, that makes sense. No worries!

You should try to take that setup down to the Angel Oak. I really like the kind of fuzzy ethereal effect. That would look amazing on that huge oak tree with all of the spanish moss hanging down. Man, I miss the lowcountry!

In case anyone is wondering, the Angel Oak is a gigantic 1500 year old oak tree on Johns Island in South Carolina. It is thought to be one of the oldest living things in the United States.

Nice shots. I like the second one best because of the leading line and slightly higher contrast.

I have been thinking about it........

Normally, my posts will get a few hundred views over time. This post has more that 30 thousand! I'm stumped as to why..........

 

[PeterB]

I wonder why too. Probably a bug on APUG. I only clicked on it because it had so many views !! It is like a runaway snowball that just keeps getting bigger ....

 

[jon.oman]

Probably a bug on APUG. ....

That is what I was thinking! So, maybe that is the case.......
