An old "Oshkosh" plow truck. They are made in the town of the same name close by. This one is patiently waiting to join forces with the transformers I think.

Contemplation.

Relics of an era.

Just returned from a 6 day workshop with Morten Krogvold, one of the finest artistic photographers in the world and maybe the best on portraits.

My "project" was to photograph the local violin maker. The task was to capture the man, his instrument, his shop and his passion. Not exactly within my comfort zone. Here´s the result.

Good images folks!

I have a revitalised fancy for B&W these days. May have something to do with the weather outside. This is a big elephant bull, by the name Big Vic, having a night snack outside my tent.

Great B&W, Eldar. Well done.

Larusejunior, candc, dpc, Mr. Bean, Eldar and slclick - these are all fantastic images! I am jealous!

 

[Eldar]

Thanks guys,

Here is another late afternoon encounter with a large elephant bull. He came straight at me and I was a bit uncomfortable for a while, but he was a gentle giant wanting to eat from the tree next to me.

African Wild Dog or Painted Dog. Fantastic animal, with looks to kill.

Excellent shot, Eldar.

I can't compete with Eldar's wonderful African wildlife, but here's a couple of my animals. The cat thinks it's a tiger and the horse seems to think it's a hippo judging by what he does in muddy wet fields. Both taken on the EF 100mm f/2 which I recently resurrected from the back of a cupboard.

I feel the same way about B&W. I can spend hours fiddling with an image. It's still very much a photographer's medium.

I think the 100 actually pings focus better wide open than the 85mm f/1.8.

WoW! What a shot. I would probably need a change of clothes at this point......

 

[Eldar]

Thanks guys, really liked your cat Sporgon. Reminds me of my own Local Lion

I have not worked with anything in B&W for quite some time. However, when I got started, it is very difficult to stop. As you say Sporgon, it is very much a photographer´s medium and it is very rewarding to really work one image to its maximum potential (within the narrow limits of my post processing skills though).

This is another I have posted in colour on an other thread. A beautiful lady ellie, so close I could almost reach out and touch her.

Love the painted dog image Eldar.
