Cheers for that feedback Preston. Just wish I had a better handle on how to down-rez these big scans for web display without artifacts. 140 KB is not a lot of file information and I notice a lot of detail being lost from an original file that is 500MB/16-bit.

A warm thank-you to all that took the time to respond.

I was about to give up LF out of frustration until I spent a weekend with Ted Harris. I am indebted to Ted for his patience and consistent encouragement over the 18 months I got to know him.

I'll post another image in honor of Ted. These Cottonwoods were recorded while hiking through the Virgin Narrows, captured with my 135 Rodenstock APO Sironar-S, a lens Ted let me try at his workshop and which I immediately went out and purchased new as soon as I saw the resulting chromes.

Cheers Ted.

Nice shot. I walked through there 2 days ago and shot those same trees with my bronica. I wish I had the 8x10.

Here's one of some bent trees that I took 25 years ago. I wish I could remember exactly where it was taken but the best I can say is, somewhere in California. Taken with my Toyo 45A, Agfapan 100, Nikkor 135.

Hoh rain forest in Washington State. Toyo 45A, Agfapan 100, Nikkor 135. This would have been better in color of course (if you like green).

Coast redwoods, Northern California, in the fog. Toyo 45A, Agfapan 100, Nikkor 135.

OK I'll stop now.

George,

I like the second two images. Great stuff. The last I like the most. I like the fog!

Those from Seattle will recognize this scene: Lakeview Cemetery, on top the city’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

Admirable views up here – Cascade Mountains to the East, Olympics to the West...

Big trees enjoy the views too – including this Yellow Poplar near the cemetery’s NW corner, captured in late-afternoon June sun. Most of the leaves have since turned autumn-yellow and fluttered away; naked branches now shiver under rainy skies! I should return for a winter-time follow-up.
