Title:	Waiting For Spring
Gear used:	OM-2n + 85/2
Diaphragm:	f16
Shutter speed:	1/100
Film used:	Fuji 100HG
Technical information:	I used the 85/2 for the perspective, the mild telephoto worked out perfect as I could only shoot from one spot in the middle of a decrepit bridge surrounded by wetlands and a sinking dirt roadbed. Image was scanned from a print on my Museted 600 III EP, a very cheap substandard printer that I hope to trash soon in favor of a film scanner.
Subject Information:	This area is simply beautiful come springtime, and having spent weeks looking for a nice place to make my photograph, and being very disappointed in some I did make, I finally wound up back here where I like to shoot birds and such. I found the place didnt look bad in early spring either, the red bushes and gray trees gave the image just enough color to interesting.

I think that this works really well ! The orange bushes and blue of the sky complement each other perfectly, and I just love the way that the river at one moment reflects the trees and sky, the next changes into that inky blue/blackness at the bottom of the frame.I'd have a print of this on my wall any day - great stuff.

Really like the 2 colour affect

I often struggle with similar shots at home - this stream is roughly the same size as our ditches in SEMO, and they really are great spots for giving a sense of place.

Nice composition. Simple and effective.
