The village this was made at, has not been occupied for around 40 years.
I have no idea why or how this trunk got placed in front of a door that leads into a very derelict building.
Thanks Jane,
T-max 400 if done in Microdol-x is a great combination for this sort of image…. just need to get the lighting right: early morning side light π

I had forgotten that you shoot film, David. I just revisited your About page. For digital, I also use a D800 but left the film world years ago. I love your work.
I was forced into digital when colour chemicals (E6 & C41) became almost impossible to find here in Oman.
Got the D200 and decided that it was just a different method of capture; figured out how to make digital negatives…… π
I could then justify the D800 and I must admit it is a lovely forgiving camera.
But film is always my first option when doing B&W work.
Much appreciate your comment on my photographs.

There’s so much texture in old buildings in Oman. Must be an absolute delight when the shadows make great B & W images. That piece of wood reminds me of weatherworn driftwood down at the beach.
Wonderful image, David. A nice surprise to find the trunk placed there – it really adds to the composition and contrasting textures.
Many thanks Simon – much appreciated.

This is so good in monochrome, David. The variety of textures and tones is very appealing.

The only down side is very early starts π
The log was very large and although completely dried out – still very heavy.
