Photographers Comment
Carol-Lynn Rössel, Winthrop, Maine, USA.
Thank you!
I am absolutely delighted to have my photograph (taken on the porch on the Oceanic Hotel on Star Island, New Hampshire), chosen in the competition. Star Island is a half-mile of granite (an old mountain top) ten miles off the Atlantic Coast, one of the Isles of Shoals. I took the photo on Tri-X with my Zorkii 4K and its Industar 50 lens.
I love old Russian lenses and the timeless quality they impart. Working with a rangefinder is a new delight for me. I've recently purchased a new/old Leica 3M, onto which, with an adaptor, the lenses, fortunately, fit.
My photographs are hybrids. I scan negatives into my Mac, work on them in Photoshop and print digitally. This photo needed little post-processing.
Thank you again for this honor. Wow!
