This is a real film camera that is in full working order.
you won't be too suprised to hear that its not quite 35mm format.
I hiked the Konza Prairie Trail, which is a few miles outside of Manhattan, Kansas. The trail takes you along some wooded areas and across some beautiful rolling hills. This was a picture taking adventure to primarily test the logistics of hiking with a large format camera. My gear weighs about 30lbs total, so it is doable but it takes quite a bit of time to setup, tear down, and carry everything. Things mostly went okay, except I was outside a lot longer than expected and got a bit sun burnt. I was partially prepared and applied ample amounts of DEET while I was along the brush and trees. Ticks can be a problem this time of year!
This is composed of two large format images selectively blended together by hand. I used the wide aperture image which had a low depth of field to create a pleasing frame for the tree stump. Where as the other image had a higher depth of field and was used as the source of the tree stump. I should have stopped down a little further to get a 100% of the tree stump in perfect focus. Next time I will spend a bit more time viewing the ground glass.
This image isn't all that strong from a compositional stand point. The tree stump doesn't stand out enough from the background. So I'm not for sure if I will leave it posted or not. I'm definitely open to critical comments on this image or how it could have been improved given the subject at hand. Feel free to blast away. The biggest problem with getting critical feed back is that the photos that need it the most are the least likely to get a comment. :)
I'm not really that happy with this image. It was more of a test shot all in all, but I was hoping to have caught that moment of intrigue when I saw the tree stump along my hike.
In photography, it is just as important to pay attention to the things that we leave out of an image compared to solely focusing on the subject of interest. The tree stump caught my attention along the hiking trail. It was surrounding by a lot of brush and vegetation making it less than optimal to capture on film. I took two images of the scene--one with a large depth of field and one with a shallow depth of field. I selectively merged these two images together to create a composite image with only the tree stump largely in focus.
The large format negative certainly picked up an enormous amount of detail, but that doesn't make for a great image. I find that this image looks a lot better when viewed large and in black. The detail becomes visible and your eye more easily locks on to the subject of interest. The eyes tend to gravitate to what is in focus in an image. I think the reason why this image is weaker as a small picture is that there is simply not enough separation between the tree trunk and its surrounding environment.
If I were to shooting it again, should I have added 1/2 f-stop of exposure and vignetted around the tree trunk? Since the eyes also tend to initially lock on to the brighter areas of an image, that might have helped when viewing the image from a distance or a smaller version.
I went back and re-processed this image. It is a little better, but not outstanding. If I were to shoot this subject again, is there a better way that I could have captured it? Or is there something that I could do in post processing to improve it? Or simply should I have walked away from this one? :)

Det upolitiske parti fikk 7 representanter i det nye bystyre 1923-1925; like mange som Trondhjems socialdemokratiske arbeiderparti. Trondhjems arbeiderparti fikk 28 representanter, Det konservative parti 18, Frisindede Venstre 9, Venstre 5 og Handelsfunktionærene 2.
Det upolitiske partis faste representanter i Trondhjems Bystyre 1922-1925 var postfullmektig Chr. Aug. Norman, murmester Herman Aars, kjøpmann T. Nylander, bokholder Jacob Storli, journalist A. Egidius Carlsen og lærer Aksel Stene. Herman Aars var også representant i Formannskapet 1923-1925.
Trondhjems Adresseavis, torsdag den 16. november 1922 s. 2:
Det upolitiske parti i Trondhjem.
Partipolitikken slik som den har tilspidset sig i Trondhjem, gjør det i høi grad vanskelig at lede utviklingen paa en maate som stemmer med en god og forsvarlig økonomi. Naar sakerne avgjøres efter de partipolitiske principer, blir den sunde og nøkterne bedømmelse av de forskjellige forhold ofte tilsidesat. At dette har ført kommunen op i en økonomisk situation som det vil ta lang tid at rette paa, er noget som enhver maa indrømme. Det maa derfor ansees heldig at der i kommunestyret sitter represæntanter som frit og ubundet av de politiske programmer kan ta standpunkt til sakerne ut ifra den i hvert tilfælde foreliggende situation.
Slik som forholdene nu ligger an, er det byens økonomi som mere end noget andet trænger sig i forgrunden. Byens gjæld har naadd en urimelig høide og skatteprocenten er steget i en saadan grad at skatterne virker altfor trykkende, saavel paa den private som paa de forskjellige næringsgrene. Disse forhold maa søkes rettet ved en streng økonomi i den kommunale forvaltning.
Under hensyntagen hertil har vi opstillet følgende program som de upolitiske vælgere bør samle sig om:
1. Boligsaken.
Kommunen maa for at avhjælpe bolignøden støtte den private byggevirksomhet:
a) ved at garantere for byggelaan og 2den prioritetslaan,
b) ved at arbeide for forandringer eller ophævelse av saadanne bestemmelser i bygningsloven som unødig fordyrer bebyggelse og dermed husleien.
2. Byens renhold.
Der bør søkes indført en mere økonomisk drift ved renholdsverket for at lettelse i avgifterne kan opnaaes. Saasnart den økonomiske situation tillater det, bør kommunen overta alt renhold i byen (ogsaa gaterenhold) og overføre utgifterne i beskatningen.
3. Avholdssaken.
Fortsat arbeide for ædruelighetens fremme.
4. Kriseforanstaltningerne.
Alle kriseforanstaltninger søkes avviklet, herunder ogsaa inddragning av de kommunale forretningsvirksomheter som ikke svarer til sin hensigt.
5. Skolevæsenet.
Den praktiske undervisning i folkeskolen og fagskolerne bør utvikles videre. Den Kommunale Middelskole bør utvides for at gi plads for flere elever.
6. Næringslivet.
Under hensyn til kommunens evne vil vi støtte ethvert foretagende, saavel offentlig som privat, som medvirker til byens økonomiske fremgang og trivsel. Vi vil arbeide for fri og sund konkurrence paa handelens og haandverkets omraade og motarbeide monopol. Enhver kommunal bedrift - saavel handel som haandverk - maa drives forretningsmæssig og beskattes i likhet med private bedrifter.
7. Kontrol med byens virksomheter og administration.
Der bør oprettes en upartisk og merkantilt kyndig komite til at føre kontrol med byens bedrifter og administrationsgrene.
8. Arbeidsledigheten.
Naar kommunen bevilger penge til avhjælp av arbeidsledigheten, maa disse anvendes til nyttige og strengt nødvendige foretagender. Eksempelvis: Gamlehjem, Sjømandsskolen, folkebad for den sydlige bydel, sjøbad, lekepladse etc.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
