It's gone. Your time was not wated.
Attached are two images of White Water Falls, just on the border between North and South Carolina. In terms of volume of water and height this is one of the largest falls on the east cost. The original negatives were made in 1982-85 on Ilford FP4, and were printed on silver gelatin paper. Recently I scanned the negatives and the attached files are of digital prints, 12X17" in size. I have also printed both images in carbon.
This place has been a favorite hiking area for student of Clemson University, which is located abot 30 miles away , and quite a number of students have died from slipping over the edge. Many years ago one died the same day i was photographing the falls.

This was done with a Century 8x10 and a 'virtual 5x7' back (I cropped it when I enlarged it) with a 210. Unless I have a DOF concern, I usually open up to my favorite f-number for the anticipated format. So, f32 for 5x7 on this one. If I know I'm going to crop all the way down to 4x5 I'll shoot at f22.

I live on Oregon and have many waterfall photographs done with my digital camera so I won't post them here. However, I would like to see your waterfall photographs that you did with your large format equipment.
These are old... 1990... and from my honeymoon! Sorry for the crumby scans... digipics of vintage 11x14 prints on Kodak Elite.

Sorry guys,
I tried to upload the image, but I got a message that the max size is 650x650 and my image is 1604x1997. I'm not sure how to correct this, so I'll have to find out.
Mike
you have to change the resolution in photoshop (or other)....
if photoshop make sure the "resize image" box is checked.
change resolution to 72 dpi....
next change the box with 1997 pixels to 650 pixels.
When done, make sure you save your file AS A DIFFERENT name or you will lose your higher resolution file. Jpegs work best, save as a quality 10... (make sure it's under 150kilobytes.
Hi Guys, trying this again. Sorry for the crappy scans, but we only have a print scanner that all the students here use as well.

Thanks for the advice Robert

Yes, Ulrich,
lovely place! We have been there, too, near the Suilven.
Scotland is great!
For better or worse, I haven't taken many pictures of waterfalls, despite my frequent proximity to dams and hydroelectric projects. However, I did get a snapshot of the falls in Bristol, NH a year or so ago, whilst waiting to get out to the dam removal that I was there to document.

This was the 4x5 image that convinced me I had made the right decision by breaking down and buying a LF camera. It's a bit underexposed, but on the light table it looks fine, and I just love it. I'm not sure how I would have done it differently in the same light conditions without blowing out the waterfall. I guess one of those specialty Grad NDs would do the trick. But I think its just a matter of time of day. If I was there a little earlier in the morning I most likely would have been able to brighten the scene up a bit without losing too much in the water. Good times though.

If I attached it right, this is the Salmon River Falls near Pulaski, NY. I took this last year with my Kodak Recomar 33 9x12cm camera. It was one of my first, definitely not perfect, but I was learning both the camera and development process 'in the dark' at the time.

Sandy,
Nice shot!
I've seen it suggested that higher contrast images make for the better examples of carbon printing. I think the overhanging tree and all the leaves in this image would make an interesting texture in a carbon print. How do you feel this image rates overall as a "go/no-go" choice for carbon printing?
This is the type of photo that I would be interested in printing when I finally get past the reading phase of learning this medium.
Thanks.
Chris
Chris,
This would make a very interesting carbon print because of the detail of the leaves. The challenge with printing this image in carbon is in hitting exposure just right so you keep some texture in the delicate highlights of the water itself. The challenge with carbon is that you are working with a straight line process with absolutely no shouldering in the highlights, so there is zero tolerance for exposure in the highest highlight. Too little exposure and the highlights are bald, too much and they are dull.
On the other hand, an image like this is a piece of cake to print in palladium.
Sandy
Dear Sandy,
It's nice to see your images... :)
A fabulous image with wonderful tones.
Nicely done.
