Permeation

Spent some time in a local pine forest the other day shooting some B/W, and as the place is pretty dark and dank b/w suits well. This one was shot on 25 ISO Agfa APX and you can imagine a pretty slow shutter, roughly 1/2 second if I recall correctly and about f11, wanted to maintain a reasonable DOF.

Beefed up the contrast a little and added the colouring. Also boosted the 'into the sun' look by adding more sunlight in the rendering section of my software.

Pentax 6x7
55mm WA
Agfa APX25
mirror lockup
f11 1/2 sec

Cheers

Hey Mark, a nice image with a harsh feel to it - not in a bad way - I think that's what you wanted ... There is alot of contrast here. I almost find myself squinting - as if I'm standing there looking into the sun.

neat effect Mark- as Dane already stated, a very contrasty image, but one that gives a real feel for the surroundings. Nice work.
