THE STAMPEDE 20 x 25 cm silver gelatin print from 4 x 5 negative. I left camp early one frosty morning last autumn to look for photographic possibilities at Mount Buller, but the rising sun had beaten me to the summit area. I decided to follow a gully away from the saddle carpark and back into indirect light, before finding this stand of dead trees. Their frantic lines against a darker backdrop and implied movement caught my eye, and I quickly set up the view camera to expose this shot, just as the sun once again confirmed its presence on the alpine meadows. Website.
Framed. 29 x 35 cm inkjet print from 6 x 6 negative.
Janet Naismith
Three green pears. 20 x 25 cm palladium print, hand coloured from 8 x 10 wet plate glass negative.
Andy Cross
Two. Church in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Dye transfer print from 6 x 4.5 colour transparency. Printed on Hanfstaengl linen paper, normally used for carbon transfer, and mordanted myself. Kodak dyes were used and is one print in a series from the region.
Peter Kinchington
Treeferns near Olinda Creek. Scan of 8 x 10 pinhole camera panchromatic negative. Website.
Lakes District, England. Scan of 4 x 5 negative. I set up my 4 x 5 camera with a 150mm lens and attached polarising and red R62 filters to capture the cloud details. Incident and reflected light meter readings through the filters. I’m very pleased with the result, as it encapsulates the full tonal range achievable with LF film whilst capturing the essence of the countryside in the Lakes District in England.

Hi David
Another fabulous exhibition with such a variety of processes.
Thank you for all your work in producing this & I’m delighted to be part of it.
Cheers

I agree with Peter, the depth and lighting in Harald’s work is quite beautiful. There is a dimension beyond it’s width and height that is replicated by many other photographs in this exhibition. Alex’s gritty and powerful study works so well juxtaposed against Bianca’s soft, delicate and almost untouchable piece, while Peter MacDonald’s assertive crop looks like it could have been peened from a single sheet of foil. Thankyou David for curating such a wonderful collection!
I like Harald’s shot of Strickland forest very much!
