One of the pictures to see the different look of HP5 rated @ 1600 (pushed two stops) in comparison to Delta 3200 rated @ 1600 (the actual sensitivity of this film).
Using the Novar triplet lens with wide aperture f/5.6 results in a distinct softening, which adds to the background softening from the limited depth of field.
Jefferson National Forest, Virginia. Some artistic touches added to work around the harsh and strong contrasts. A long 71sec exposure made sure the water was super smooth, like a fluffy carpet. I used a 10-stop ND filter, 100mmx100mm setup from NISI and this setup gives very little white balance shift. Processing was done in Adobe Lightroom, NIK Color Efex Pro4, a mystical filter from Luminar 4 and Photoshop for localized color balance shifts to get the tonality I was going for in this artistic view of the forest..
Epping Forest in Autumn.
Dick Turpin rode through here, Boudica made camp before sacking London and massacring the Romans, the history goes back to primitive man who made stockades here to keep cattle and protect their tribes.
Taken in Bedgebury Forest early one morning in February 2013. Couldn't believe the light show going on with the mist and sun's rays.

A quiet, Northern California old-growth redwood forest
I had heard rumors of rhododendrons along a trail at this location, so I went there late one afternoon when I figured that the light might be a bit muted by incoming fog and high clouds. I parked and started the short walk along a shallow ridge through the forest and then descended a bit into a small canyon. There were rhododendron blossoms, though I was apparently just a bit too early for their peak.
I and other photographers often look for special light when photographing the redwood forest. There are many types, for example the glowing light that is sometimes found in thinning fog, or the warm light early and late in the day when filtered sunlight makes its way into the groves. In some ways, the light in this photograph is probably a bit more typical. There was a gentle glow coming from cloudy skies to the west, and most of it was blocked by the thick canopy of trees. Because it was neither the morning nor evening golden hour, the light is softer and more subtle... and perhaps more reflective of the quiet and stillness of these places.
