They just keep getting better! What you souping your tri-x in? D76 or something more exotic?
Stunning.
Again.
Be sure to get a signed release from Honey.
Cuz this one will be in the book, too.
I am very pleased with this one.
Thank you so much for your supportive comments.
Technically, it was a very difficult image to create, because of the extremely low light… necessitating selecting the widest aperture and a slow shutter speed while trying to capture their unpredictable motion under the strain of the heavy RZ67.
But it was worth it.
The stars – and both sets of eyes, and a harmonious composition, and the release of the shutter… — all lined up at just the right moment. If henceforth I’m ever credited with sometimes nailing the mythical “decisive moment”, this image will serve as a reference point.

Lovely stuff Peter. I love the lighting, and the composition works very well. I can see that this would have been a very tricky shot to capture!
Thanks James. And congratulations on your lovely post on Steve’s site.
Are you considering to update your front with Mamiya photos on top? There is such a big different from your previous works.
May be, a heavier gear help to claims mind and even more focus to a new level.

Hi Sam, I keep adding (and deleting) to my front page as new images are produced. I’ve added many of the Mamiya ones from this past week.
There is a richness and depth to this that I, for one, would love to see expressed in a print. Nevertheless, the one of your son remains my favorite for it’s internal light.
I’m sorry to be so late with the comment, but several I started and discarded before wandered off too much into technical and gear related topics that I prefer (mostly) to avoid. I will say only, that I doubt there are very many who have ever used the Mamiya RZ 67 as a tool for candid images (at least not with this degree of success).
Thanks Greg. If I didn’t think it would scare off other parents and kids, I’ve thought about bringing the RZ67 to the field to shoot my kids’ sports. I still might…
I think the opposite of scared. That lovely old beast will be like taking your pet aardvark to the field, nobody will have ever even seen one and everybody will want to ask you about it.
Prosophos 
Absolutely lovely!
Bo
That has a wonderful quality to it.
Phenomenal shot!
