I'm really desperate to use my camera now. We've had so much bad weather in the last couple of months that I haven't used it since early May and there's no sign that it's getting better.

Canon 350D+Canon 17-55IS, f/8, 54mm, 1/5s, ISO 100, handheld, B&W conversion + platinum toning.

Cedric,
Nice image.
Could you try the same composition, but with the smallest book (one from below) at the top? I think it will give a nice picture.

Did you add any toning?

You're probably right. I'll try that when I have a moment.
Yes I used a light platinum toning.

Cedric,
You poor baby, reduced to photographing books. My wish for you is lots of beautiful dry skies with lovely lighting. I do love books, and you have done well with them. The light platinum toning is outstanding.
Cheers,
Colby
