Highfields, Over the Valley
Highfields is a region north of Toowoomba which follows the line of the Great Dividing Range. This view is facing East over a valley with the afternoon sun behind.
This exposure was taken with a Meopta Flexaret IIa, on Fujichrome Velvia 50 RVP, then scanned using a Canon Canoscan 8600f and digitally processed. Being a Medium Format image, it will happily enlarge to 24 inches with no loss in detail.
Highfields, Over the Valley belongs to the following groups:
Australian Bush ☼ (aspects of realistic views - ie N0 Abstracts or Macros please!), Film Photography, Landscape Photography, Medium and Large Format Film Photography and Queensland Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

I like the glimpses of the rolling hills in the distance. A lovely Australiana scene. And I like the square format.
Shaun Johnston replied
Thanks Jacqueline! The square format is native to the camera I used – the Flexaret IIa – it’s a Czech made camera, manufactured some time between 1948 and 1962, but still works like a dream. Very, very simple compared to a digital but nothing automatic at all!

Shaun, all your work is beautiful, but there is something especially appealing about this one. I thought it was a painting when I first looked at it. The composition, colors and typography just blend perfectly.
Shaun Johnston replied
Thanks Gordon :)
I think it’s very much an iconic Australian rural scene.
Zaldy Infante
perfect in composition, colors and cultural appeal!

Reminds me Greenbank.

this is really neat. it has the almost flat feeling of some older painting styles i’ve seen. i like the muted colors, and the comp is very good.
