This is a follow-up to the image from one year ago.
On this evening, once again, the light was breathtakingly beautiful.

Something not readily apparent in this image: it was very windy (look carefully at the leaves). I took a second image a few moments later and promptly deleted it… the clouds had already shifted.

Halo [Flare].

The dramatic halo effect in this image is courtesy of the optical “flaw” known as lens flare — something I’ve harnessed in the past to convey my view of life as a dream.

Hi Steve,
Last year, I wrote a short article for your site called: The Leica M9… for sports?
This year, I’m still photographing my kids’ sports activities with an M9, but two weeks ago I decided to take my M3 instead.
I did it for a couple of reasons: Firstly, I just like the look of film. Secondly, I thought it would be fun.
Well, 3 rolls of Tri-X 400 later, I ended up with some keepers. Actually, I ended up with a whole bunch of keepers, and I’m sharing a few here.
Incidentally, if any of your readers are interested in learning about how I process my B&W film, they can read about it here.
Regards,
Peter | Prosophos
