Best wishes to everyone for 2017; shoulder surgery this year has hampered my ability to engage in LF, but I'm looking forward to getting back to photography in 2017.

Wonderful David. It captures for me the feeling of southeastern France.

Thanks chassis. Over the new year break, I've been revisiting some negatives from a few years ago - here is one of them;

Questions- How do you like the 75mm Grandagon? Do you consider it too wide or just right? Do you use a recessed lensboard with it? I was thinking about pairing one with a 4x5 folder. I had a 90mm Super Angulon on a Crown Graphic, but sold it. I like the wide view. Love the depth and drama in the clouds. Thanks, Bob (Sorry, this is in reference to David Hedley's image of Rio Negro, Manaus.)

Hello Roberto - I have lenses on either side of the 75mm (58mm & 90mm), but almost always use the 75mm. It's my favourite lense by far, and fits in my backpack alongside a 180mm & 300mm. I use it on a a Sinar monorail with bag bellows, so I don't need a recessed lenseboard; I always found these tricky to use when I used a folding field camera, and was one of the reasons why I decided to use a Sinar.

Very beautiful, excellent contrast and tonality.

Superbly managed exposure with great composition. Good luck with your recovery, and I hope that you are able to produce more images like this one.

I keep coming back to this one, very powerful!
