    Re: Large Format Landscapes

    Re: What next? (4x5)

    I like the tent spike idea. The rock in the bag seems to work also. I would just have the bag touching the ground. I rarely do photography in the wind. All you have to do is try to nudge the weighted...

    Re: bad back = get a light weight 4x5" camera

    Re: Eliot Porter

    I think Sun of Sand you are right that Muench, in my opinion, early Muench resembled Porter and I'm guessing was probably influenced by Porter.

    You may have already re-shot your image with better luck.

    One thing I noticed with my present set-up is when shooting in brighter light rather than around sunset, it is best to remove the...

    I started using Chamonix film holders recently.
