The Grand Landscape

Nice picture. I like the way the road frames the bottom part of the image.

Thank you Mike. The rain gathered in the ruts reflected the light to highlight the road.

I thought I would re-post a couple of images from awhile back. First is a 16x20 silver gelatin print from 4x5 negative, the second a scan contact print.
First one is more a sea-scape up in Oregon, so I included one where I backpacked the college's Linhof up into the Trinity Alps, CA, in the late 70s.

Linville Gorge, North Carolina - this feature is massive...

A landscape doesn't necessarily have to be expansive to be "grand." I can't remember exactly where this is at but probable Cascade or Cataract Creek in Marin county.

Great job. The only time I visited this area the contrast was too extreme to get as much detail as you did.

You can find them on my website which is becoming a little too extensive. One day I am going to edit out the so-so's and create a separate page for each type (Kallitype, Van Dyke, etc.) like I have for the salt print. I also need to devote more time (and effort!) to my blog: The post on the origins and influences of American Landscape photography requires a lot of research which I am currently doing and enjoying immensely and one day I'll have that completed.

If you are talking about post #29, I can see the image.
