And so goes art as a whole, I suppose. We're all snowflakes.

I've been meaning to read The Decisive Moment. Thanks for the reminder!

Definitely amazing. Time for you to look into some ND filters 😎

What more could we ask for haha

Honestly one of the biggest perks of being up here. Mild weather, stunning trails, moss covered trees...just so good

To get that deep into it. It's comforting if not vindicating to know I'm not alone in that!

In color. I imagine if I spent a long time comparing different film in different conditions I'd have a better understanding of the baked-in qualities that exist vs what corrections post-scan are normal.

Like all things it probably just comes down to experience and I just don't think I care enough

Thank you so much for the kind words and incredibly thoughtful perspectives. I think what you mentioned about my background really is what's at play here. I think I have this need to previsuslize the scene which I've gotten decent at with black and white and I simply can't make the connection

Yes, me too! Very grateful to be here

Such an awesome spot, I absolutely love it there. Great shot!

Thanks very much! Still pretty new to me as well but I'm thoroughly enjoying it there. Long form has be been outstanding for my mental health and the interactions feel far more organic.

Good stuff, glad to see you posting there.

Loving it so far - If you've seen mine I'm in no place to cast judgement at all hah

Works for me! Immediately subscribed. Looking forward to it!

Congrats! Can't wait to see what you make with it

Kentmere 400 pushed to 1600 really is a dream.

I'm just never leaving the house without a film back loaded with it. It's just too good.

Really appreciate it, thank you!

Beautiful composition, Loretta, really great shot!

Incredible shot, absolutely stunning work!

Just got my 300mm today 😎

Really beautiful, I love this one

Certainly looks that way. We suffer for our art haha

Thanks for sharing this with me, William! Alex is such an incredible photographer and this looks like an outstanding read. I'll spend some time with this tonight.

Much appreciated, thanks again!

Incredible, just so good

Don't skip leg day, would be my recommendation

It's wild, I've never bought a "used" lens that looks this immaculate

Sono molto coraggioso!

My god. It's a big boi.

It's a big, big boi.

I am but an artist 💅

When I was working in the studio my hands would get beat to hell every day. Since my studio hiatus I've become a flower that wilts at the first signs of impending labor.

Outside of nomads and Sherpas, probably not

Good lord this is a stunner. Great work, Peter!
