Icicles hang from a fallen spruce tree over a maelstrom of flowing, cold water along the Little Susitna River of Alaska one chilly autumn evening several years ago. Using my longest lens on the 4x5 and the careful use of some back tilt, I was able to isolate these icicles from across the river without getting too wet. Would appreciate any and all comments and suggestions on this image.
4x5, 600mm, no filters, Velvia. M1 flat bed scan, Tony Kuyper's masks and such. (For those interested, the 600mm is the telephoto design one that Nikon used to produce. One heavy chunk of glass but only requires 19inches of bellows draw rather than 23inches).
Large size image posted as well.
Thanks.
