Hi Rachael, Great picture but I think it would've been better against a contrasting background. I think you're right it does tend to blend with the water. Next time play with the light a little too, it'll add to the effect of the contrasting background.

Unfortunately time was not on my side when I took this photo. The main purpose of the day was to get down to the bottom of Balls Falls and take some photo's. This barn is just part of the heritage site there. Also it was taken using print film, which until I got the slides back from the developers yesterday was the only type of film I'd ever shot. Now that Ive seen the colours that can be produced on slides then I would be surprised if I ever bought colour print film again. I composed the shot with the fence in to give it some foreground as I had noticed that most of my pictures were missing this type of structure. Once the snow and ice has gone I will be back at Balls Falls, this time with some slide film and concentrate on the barn and the rest of the heritage site and see what happens. Thanks for all your encouragement.

Another fantastic image, I especially like the use of the Inukshuk in the foreground. You are an exceptionally gifted photographer, wher did you learn it all?

I know that I can alter the image properties with photshop etc but Im not using a digital camera, Im using ISO400 Print Film and I intentionally scan the image to match the print I get back from the developers. What I would like to know is how I can improve the original print. Im fairly happy with the composition of the photo's Ive posted to date and that the main purpose of the exercise, however as has been pointed out, the contrasts of the images are not at their best. How can I improve the contrast that is captured in the original image rather than "fixing" the scanned image. Maybe I'm trying to be too perfect or maybe Im missing something in my technique when I take the original picture. Id just rather get it right with the original than have to patch it up later.

This is not the first time that Ive had comments about the contrasts of my photos. How can I improve it though, the images I post are as near to the printed images they are scanned from as I can get them. Is the contrast something I can change with camera settings or by using a different film or is it primarily down to the developing?
