Thanks David. I’m pretty sure I used the 80mm Zeiss Planar. For the shallow depth of field I kept it pretty wide open - I think @f4, around 1/2s to blur the water - which was moving fairly rapidly. When I printed it in the darkroom, I taped the image to the base board and let the bottom curl up a little to increase the blur of the water. I burned in the water severely as well as parts of the sky and heavily dodged the strip of fog to make it really stand out.
Beautiful and emotive.
I'd like to understand the perspective of the image: could you advise what focal length, and any recollection you may have as to the approximate aperture, were used for the photograph.
