Coreopsis Field In Autumn

|
If a place doesn't have a name, I give it one and use it. That may seem pointless, since I'm only the only person who knows the name, but then Adam was the only person who knew the names of things before Eve, and naming things is a birthright we inherit from him. So I'll happily talk about Wounded Mouse Pond, The Old Farmstead, Laughing Bird Woods, and the Coreopsis Field. Ah - but in the spring this field is full of coreopsis. Shooting with the Vivitar 101 IC Panoramic camera got me thinking in panoramic terms. And so while in the Coreopsis Field I shot a few frames with the Pentax 6x7, composed with the intent that they be cropped to the same aspect ratio as the Vivitar. The result is here - the negative is about the size of two 35mm exposures, side by side, and the detail on an large print is exquisite. So the toy camera not only kicked out a few good shots by its own right, but inspired this one as well. |
