Hello from Humboldt County
Hello!
I have been posting this month, so it is time for an introduction!
I have been photographing for about 30 years. After 12 years with the US Forest Service as a mulepacker/trail builder/fish counter/fire-fighter/outhouse cleaner, et al, I became the tech for the teaching darkroom (Art Dept) at a university...which I have been doing for the last 16 years. I have a BS degree in Natural Resources Mgt.
I primarily use a Zone VI 8x10 and make platinum/palladium prints and carbon prints. I do a lot of work under the Redwoods and try to make it to Yosemite once or twice a year.
I have attached an image of a platinum/palladium print in the next Post, having failed the first time. "Pine, Oak, Rock, YNP" taken with the above camera w/ a 300mm Fuji W f5.6 on Ilford FP4, developed in Ilford Universal PQ developer. Taken using the light reflecting off the granite walls just as the sun rose over the lower Yosemite Valley.
Re: Hello from Humboldt County
I will try to attach it again!

Re: Hello from Humboldt County
Hi Vaughn...
Welcome to the forum where many people in here still loving slow motion in taken pictures.
Lot's of years that you've spent in photography, no wonder you show a amazing image, and I'm sure you'll share all about photography in here.

Howdy Ralph!
Is it safe to assume you are same Ralph moderating over on the Ilford Forum?
You get around!

Re: Hello from Humboldt County
Yes, Vaughn, I'm the Ilford Ralph's evil twin. :cool:
Get around? I am a round, but I've been dieting. :D
Re: Hello from Humboldt County
Welcome Vaugh. I used to live up there. Do you have problems with the webbing that grows between fingers and toes?

No problem at all -- it helps me to swim as fast as the steelhead. Its the mold and fungus that grows in our enlarger lenses that bug me. :eek:

Dunno if this is allowed, but I wonder if the image might look nice, cropped a bit tighter. It isn't 8x10 any more, and it's a bit more abstract. I hope this isn't rude. No offense meant. I just try to find the essence of the image. (Whether I succeed or not, is another matter).
