More from Antelope Island

I love old wood.  It has great texture and is for the most part very monochromatic so it looks good in b&w and sepia.  Being monochromatic the photographs are not overpowered by the amount and brightness of colors. This board fence is almost a sepia toned black and white.

black & white 

sepia

Back in my darkroom days I used gold toner to get a cool blue tint to the photos.  It was especially nice on winter scenes because it almost made you feel the cold.

  I don't really like this picture but it  is a good illustration of shallow depth of field with the 12-60

 The next two show the clarity of the lens when the photo is enlarged several times.  These were taken as L/SF jpegs.

A rather hazy day (thanks to distant forest fires) so it didn't make for the best landscapes.
