More from the Hunter Valley

We spent much of last week at the Hunter Valley, enjoying the warmth.

Here are some for feedback. The first are three versions of a theme - the first morning presented fantastic golden colours through the early morning mist. Apparently I missed much of it, but dragged the camera to the local dam/lake/pond. The B&W doesn't do the scene justice, in retrospect, and I look forward to seeing the colour versions in a few days time.

Keen on preferences of these three. These are all crops. Not a lot of post processing has been done to them otherwise. I find the lean of the chair now annoying, but I don't think I would have been able to straighten it.

These two shots illustrate the immensely boring skies we had during the week.

I think I would have liked a red or yellow filter for this shot.

The first one and second last for me.
Nice photographs, but I wonder if colour
wouldn't have been more appropriate?

I have colour ones being processed at the lab. Stay tuned :)

I like the ones looking out across the lake the chair looks placed though rather than a part of the scene.

Beautiful tones.

This is a more considered crop of the third photo. I think it is my preference of the 'chair' shot.

We arrived on Tuesday and I saw the chair placed there. On Wednesday morning, with the mist, I raced with the 4x5 camera hoping the chair was still there. It was.

Patrick. #1 is the better chair image for me (go figure). Somehow the left facing chair feels better to me and I like the line of ducks better in that shot. The last one is pretty good too - you're doing some great black and whites with that fillum stuff :D

I also like this one much better - i actually like the hint of those ducks which only becomes apparent upon a closer inspection, these then act as a great anchor point.

I would not change a thing about this image.
