Flowers Anyone?

[Paul Kierstead]

Mr. Kitchen, the tonality there, even on my very-sRGB work LCD, is exquisite. What a print that must make.

Gentlemen,

Thank you for your comments...

This image shall be a joy to print, and I will enjoy that moment.

Again, thank you.

Dear Group,

This image happened to be the first image I tested with my new TMY-2 supply, but as fate would have it, I worked with, and posted my second image first...

That said, I am still working with this "new to me" film, discovering whether any limitations exist, and for the moment I cannot believe that I will bump into the film's boundaries.

Here's an 8x10 with a 15 inch Ilex Paragon process lens with about 30" of extension and a 26 minute exposure at f/32. This is the first shot from that $15 lens, the cheapest I own. TMY-2 in DD-X 1+4 for 14 minutes.

Wow! Very nice. How did you pass the time during that exposure?

Jim,

The texture and detail in the highs and the lows look remarkable.
I am still working on refrigerated stock and am at least a few months away from venturing into the new emulsion.

Dear Jim,

That image has great character, and a softness that is fabulous...

Beautifully done.

Thanks, Bob. I was reading my favorite astronomy forum (Cloudy Nights). My ExpoDev software on my Palm Pilot gives me a 10 second warning...

Jim, I had no idea what to expect from that lens, but I think I'm going to be using it a lot for my florals. Thanks for the complimentary words...coming from you, they mean a lot.

Dear Allen,

I have two TMY 8X10 sheets left in the fridge, and I will keep them for one, or possibly two more comparative tests against TMY-2. For the moment, I have a few developed negatives that will provide useful information going forward, but I have not placed the TMY-2 negatives and the TMY negatives that I developed together under a densitometer just yet, but I will try do so by month's end.

You will not be disappointed by waiting a few more weeks...

Cambowide 580 + Velvia, sorry to double post here and in the cityscape thread, I think this image fits both. :-)
