    Really nice! It's a perfect blend of highlight and shadow. Nice composition too!

    My two big bucket list items are to go out west and photograph bristlecones and to go to Africa and photograph Baobob Trees.

    Now I know why I have a LF camera. Thanks for reminding me and setting such high standards.

    Here is another Velvia 50. Ebony slw810, Schneider Super Angulon 90xl, f64, 1 sec.
    This location is in the Ten Thousand Islands, which is part of the Everglades National Park. These little mangrove islands guard the extreme southern coastline of Florida.
    The weathered old trees are one of my favorite subjects.
    90xl---on 8x10? is this correct? how far away do you have to be to get 8x10 coverage--or is this a mistake and it was not the 90? or was this with a 4x5 back on an 8x10 camera?

    90xl is correct. You actually need to get up close and personal to your subject because of the extreme wide angle. I know the specs don't call for this to cover 8x10 but stopped down, with no movements it just scratches the corners. I usually crop in just a smidge to remove some vignetting and color fringing on the corners. I prefer to use my Nikor 120sw and usually find it to be wide enough but once in a while you need to get really wide!

    I have a couple more 90xl images, let me dig another one out and post it.

    As promised here is one more with the 90xl on my Ebony slw810. I did this with a circular polarizer and Velvia 50. using the polarizer was a real bitch because it bands the sky on such a wide angle lens. I use the lee 95mm adapter which attaches to the barrel instead of threading on keeping the filter from causing additional vignetting.

    f32 1 sec

    I was so close to this weathered old tree I could almost touch it from behind the camera.

    Nothing like Velveeta cheese and blue skies. Beautiful!
