Austin, just for fun - details please: format? film? developer?
I really, really like it. Wonderfully smooth tones, and the composition is just right.

Thanks Randy. Unfortunately, like a lot of people here I imagine, my printing is always way behind my shooting; I have a backlog of negatives that I periodically go through to see if anything is worth exploring. So even though I just printed this for the first time, I actually shot it seven years ago and I can't remember the details. Maybe I should write that stuff down. Anyway though, I can tell you that it was made with a Toyo 4x5 and a standard lens, a 210 I think. Film was T-Max 100, which is odd as I've never shot that much-there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not my personal preference. But let's see, what else, well, I do wish the rocks were in sharper focus (hard to see on your screen, I know) but at the time I couldn't figure out quite how to do that. :)
Oh, and it's printed digitally. Lately, I've been having fun playing around with different tones using fill layers. This one is called Goldenrod (Hex #DAA520 if that means anything to you).
That's about all I got. Thanks again for the kind words. I appreciate it.

Thanks Austin. For what it's worth, I have processed 4X5 negs that sat in the holder for 8 years after I exposed them :(
Likewise, I am going through many old 35mm, 120, and 4X5 negs that I shot many, many years ago (and never was able to get a good darkroom print) and scanning them and finding there is actually a good image hiding in there.
Thank you
Two 5x4s stitched, 110xl, Velvia 100 on an Arca.

I can't decide if the amount the sun climbed in the time between the two sides (about 5 minutes, maybe less) ruins this or not...
I love that shot, Acheron. Has a real feeling of evanescence. The understated composition is nice too. The velvia captured some nice shadow detail! Normal processing?
Here's something to compare, I keep coming back to this tree over the years. First shot was 2004 on 35mm with 20mm lens, second was just last month on 4x5 with a 58mm. How things change. I wanted a train in the recent shot, but alas the sun and railroad do not cooperate.

Thank you. :) Yes, normal exposure and normal processing. Scanned on a V750, stitched in photoshop, no other manipulation. If only I could buy 5x7 Velvia for a reasonable price I wouldn't have to stitch 5x4. Or I could go the half 10x8 cut into 5x8 route I guess...
