Painted bark eucalyptus, the Hana Coast, Island of Maui, Hawai
John and I have been working on more scans from my 4×5 film archive. It has been rewarding to finally make use of these images, but also frustrating to see how many good images are languishing in my filing cabinets. I have also been placing new images on my Facebook Fan page. I look forward to your comments here or on the Fan Page!
Enjoy, Bill

The bark of a Gumbo Limbo tree, Everglades National Park, Florida
The bark of a Gumbo Limbo tree, Everglades National Park, Florida
Photographed in 1992 with a Wista 4×5 Field Camera
John and I continue our efforts to scan film in my files. Here is an old favorite, never scanned or printed before. I must credit Eliot Porter for the inspiration as I first learned of this tree and its amazing bark from a photograph of his.
I am starting to develop an idea for a new portfolio that includes my more abstract details of nature.
The 4×5 film was scanned using my Epson Perfection V750 Pro.
Enjoy, Bill

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III__EF50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro__1/2000 sec at f / 2.5
Last weekend, after we had an icy storm that knocked our power out, I made this macro photo. I had never noticed an “ice drop” of water like this before. Amazing patterns.
This drop was on a young oak tree in my yard, and struggled to compose since I had to stand on a retaining wall, shooting hand held with no place to set up a tripod. Fortunately, I caught a few sharp ones. Next time, I will try some with a slightly smaller aperture which would have given better sharpness in the ice patterns at this extreme shallow DOF.
Enjoy,
Bill
