Landscape Photography

The image of this beached Dhow hull was shot in Bombay's Backbay Harbour close to where I lived almost 45 years ago. It was shot using an OM-4 Olympus 35mm film camera with a 24mm Zuiko wide-angle lens and developed and printed in my own darkroom on my own enlarger using a Zeiss enlarger lens. This digital image is a copy of the original print shot on my Olympus E-620 using a macro 35 mm (70 mm equivalent) lens since I switched to a digital format over 20 years ago and have my original negs stored in a box somewhere in the attic. I enhanced the enlargement using manual dodging and burning with my hand. The crow on the bow of the hull was fortuitous and I had to scramble to include him in the shot.
