Great to see you shooting Velvia. Good work Julian; I'm going to have to bookmark your work for future viewing.

Nice work Julian, but I'm surprised you used a color negative film for this. I'm doing a bit of research for a trip to Switzerland next year and came across this. I'll be shooting mostly 4x5, and possibly some 35mm - only on Fuji Velvia though.

This island is known locally as Chinaman's Hat, but whose Hawaiian name is Mokoli'i. It is about 10 miles from my house.

Just a comment. This is not Lanikai. This is Rabbit Island, taken from near Waimanalo Beach.

West MacDonnell National Park is in the Northern Territory, not South Australia.

I hate to break it to you, but Sydney is not in South Australia. Try New South Wales.

I used to go to Gastown back in the late 70s. Thanks for sharing, this brings back lots of memories.

Great shot Ram!! I am particulary drawn to warm images, like this one. I like how you included enough of the foreground to give a sense of the desert landscape surrounding this oasis. This is one of those images that makes me want to visit the location where it was taken.

Nice job. You did a good job catching the snow on the trees, but the thing that really catches the eye, and makes the image, is the warm light on the trees and on the island in the background.

Not to worry Adam. I am a big fan of Joe Cornish, and yes this is one of his most well known. But, that shouldn't stop you from capturing your own view of the same scene. In fact, I think you did quite well with this; I am particularly pleased with the way you used a slow shutter speed to capture the incoming tide. Unfortunately, your digital camera just can't capture the range of colors available in such a location, but your composition skills are top-notch. Excellent work.
