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? :)

This is something I'd intended to do for a long time. I was inspired to venture out into the sub-zero temperatures from the night before when I was travelling to Edinburgh via the A701. We stopped the car and I got out to have a look at the amazing star-studded sky. The Milky Way was very visible so I laid the camera on the cars' roof and popped a 30 second shot. I was quite excited and motivated over the next 24 hours to take this shot the very next night.

The light pollution was obvious and quite surprising because with the naked eye the hue was very much blue. However without the light in the sky the hills would not be defined.

The aircraft going overhead was interesting to see on the picture, seems like they're originating from the VOR station at Moota, branching off on the various radials. A satellite showed up in one test picture and unfortunately numerous shooting stars weren't picked up by the camera as they were too brief.

The hardest part about this shot was deciding where to aim the camera. If I had another 5 cameras they would all be pointing in different directions at the same time, so many possibilities.

PS - as people on Flickr have been asking why the stars are rotating in a circle; it is because the Earth rotates around its axis every 24 hours - thats why we get night and day. If you point the camera towards the centre of this rotation then you get this effect. In the northern hemisphere the current pole star, Polaris, marks the approximate centre of this rotation. Its strange to think that the pole star will change over the next few thousand years, due to precession of the equinoxes, as it has already. We won't be here to witness that though :)

How I did this shot; The camera was placed on the tripod and I shot off some test shots to get the angles right. I then set the TC-80N timer to take one shot after the other using an exposure of around 40 seconds each. The total time was about 45 minutes and the camera took around 80 shots. I then stacked these in Photoshop and a simple tweak of the contrast etc. produced the final image. The intention that night was a quick experiment, I'm glad I did it!
