i like them, im always a sucker for mist though. the post production realyl brings them out and puts some depth into the images.

Some pics from a roll of Tmax 400 film taken on the Glenbrook Gorge trip, and one cat (last frame to waste). quite happy with how some of these came out, going to start using this camera more for B&W images. wish i could have gotten in closer on the last image the details on the tree were really cool.

  My fave is the centre image!
  lower contrast & extra detail in the inner areas really appeals. . . .
