NEW. Came across this one in a local botanical garden. Lighting was not good but I have received a few packs of Agfa Brovira in 4x6 that week so decided to make a test print. Turned out decently, beautiful paper, base fog helped with the contrast.

Yashica 124g, HP5 in ID-11 1+1. Don't have a flatbed scanner so tried to scan using a copy stand and DSLR, was a bit tricky to get even lighting.

NEW. Another one from the same roll, hope not too far from the topic.

Old-2010 Rock Mills, Tea Tree Bay

Gelatin-silver photograph on Agfa Classic MCC 111VC FB, image area 24.7cm X 19.6cm, from a 8X10 Tri-x Pan Professional negative
exposed in a Plaubel Profia monorail view camera fitted with a 300mm Schneider Symmar lens.

These hard quartzite rock mills are in the surf zone at Tea Tree Bay, Noosa. The largest one is about a metre across and about 1.5 metres deep.

Lots of good submissions this month, but the Rock Mills by @Maris stood out to me. Congratulations!

A beautifully seen image, this is a great choice and well earned!

Thanks for all the kudos on Rock Mills. In a sense it was an easy shot. Photographing in the 8X10 format is slow but the rocks are not going anywhere this side of geological time.
The anxious part was setting the camera up over an unforgiving void, then accessing the ground glass for focussing while not falling into the hole, and finally checking the inaccessible shutter settings with a mirror.
All done safely in a pleasant half hour.

So @Maris - you are up!
We look forward to your choice of the theme for April 2026.
