Dan, love the Portra palette and nice representation of the woods of the eastern US.

Taken at dusk, in a burnt out cedar forest, with my home made 65mm 4x5 camera.

nice bob, I like the tonal rendition. Strong lines, good use of the 65 (often a 65 looks too strange, but this is nice)

Thanks! I'm just starting out with LF photography, I like how this one turned out.

Maris, I love how much light there is in the shadows. A very calm and wonderful atmosphere. There is a lot to look at in this image. I would be grateful to find this hanging somewhere in the world.

A very accurate observation! In the near infrared green leaves are very bright. The grass at ground level acts a big reflector kicking IR up into the shadows under a tree. Overhead the canopy of green leaves acts like a big soft-box sending a glow downwards. The final effect is not like ordinary light and shade. Sort of strange and beautiful at the same time.

Like it Randy! Great Appalachian feeling. "Appalachian" for me starts in Georgia and ends somewhere in northeast Pennsylvania.

Thanks chassis - taken near Martinsville Virginia, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge - so I guess you are correct in your feeling - right in the middle.
