Fence, Off Napa Road, Sonoma

Black and White Again

This was taken with my Rolleiflex, ISO 400, in mid-January in Sonoma off of Napa Road. It was early morning and there was considerable frost on the grass and plants which I had hoped to capture. I was also interested in the depth of field. The Rollei is excellent in mid-range. The sinuous plant-leaves contrast with the out-of-focus pole in the background. I found the exposure forgiving. I shot at f5-f5.6 at 1/50th to 1/100th. The negative was scanned at 1200 dpi with the backlite on medium.

Bingling Si, Qinghai Province, Hexi Corridor

This hard-to-get-to temple outpost primarioy from the Tang period yielded some great landscape shots.

Dunhuang: Black-and-White

This is a link to the black-and-white photos from the Dunhuang area this year. These are candidates for palladium printing when I get back to California.

The Cormorants of Yangshuo, China

I've been posting most of my new pictures to PicasaWeb rather than here, but I will at least include links here. This link is to the Cormorants album.
