post your trees!

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Are those 8x10 or 11x14 -- the proportions look like 8x10

I don't reconize the trees -- Jed Smith?

Vaughn, yes they are 8x10. Just got to printing them today. Well these two at least. I have about 10 more to print. Yes, this is from that wonderful road you told me about in Jed Smith. I have to go back there. The neg's are a little low contrast but with a high pigment tissue and low sensitizer I was able to get some great tones and very nice relief.

Here are a couple of images from my recent trip in October to Jedidiah Smith Redwoods. Both are carbon transfer prints.

Jim,

I'd love to see the print of first one. I bet it's magnificent!

Jim, thank you. Yes, the depth in the image is what I really like and the tone is very appealing. I was using some tissue with a different pigment load and I'm glad I keep good notes. I'm going to pour tissue tonight with the same pigment. I've got about 10 more images from this area to print. The 3-D effect with the relief and all makes it one of my favorites already.

Jim,

are you using x-ray film for the majority of your work now? I've been looking into it myself, as a suitable replacement for Efke100 and FP4+.

any ideas of a good place to start? I'm using 8x10. Are there any non-rounded corner x-ray films by chance?

beautiful prints! I'll bet they're 10x better in person though!

it was great to meet you over in Riverside 2 mo back or so, have you finished your 14x17 yet?

Dan, I have gone to using Efke-25 and green sensitive x-ray film. I use x-ray film in all of the formats that I shoot except 8x20. The two 8x10 images I posted are shot on Efke-25. I have had good success using either of these films and developing them in Pyrocat-HD.
X-ray film comes only with rounded corners to my knowledge. After I develop a sheet ( I do 4 at a time in hangers for 8x10) I take a hole punch and punch a notch in a corner. Not all that important I guess but I like to know which side of the film is facing the lens. Emulsion on both side and all.

The 14x17 I'm hoping it will be done by years end. Going back to my friend Matt Blais home next week to finish all of the wood parts. Bellows is on order from England.
