Large Format Landscapes

[Corran]

This isn't quite the composition I wanted but I was actually in danger of getting swept away. This is the Withlacoochee River when it was cresting last month. Forgot about this shot and just developed it last night. Anyway I was wading and at this point was holding myself against the current and couldn't go any further without getting deeper, which was not a good idea. The tripod was rocking in the water unless I held it down. The specular highlights were so bright I had trouble seeing the ground glass from the brightness, so I missed the encroaching tree on the upper right. That tree in the center is usually right next to a boat launch ramp, which you can't see any of, since it's all underwater (I am standing in the "road").

I think this is very well done. I enjoy your composition and lighting.

This is excellent! One of your best (IMHO) nice capture.

[Corran]

Thanks. It's always interesting to see what people like comparatively.

I like this style Corran!

Myxine. Nice photos you've been posting. It looks like your a fan of Big Bend.

Thank you Scott!
Indeed, I was really impressed with Big Bend. It had been a long time I had not been there, and first time with good climatic conditions - last time was in the summer: terrible heat

Isaac, this is quite a wonderful travelogue you are putting together for us! Do you have a blog somewhere, or have you ever given a little background to this excursion which has taken you quite a ways from your Oregon home? (I rather like this image especially because it contains those moving goats (?) and the vast majority of our LF images are entirely static.)
