I found this image from 2005 lurking in my archive. I was wandering around the Buttermilk Country in the Sierra on a quiet Autumn morning.

There surely is some really fine work posted here!

Edit: ah, excuse my indiscretion, I see now there is an old things thread that this would be most appropriate for.
Thanks Adam! Yes, this was dawn. A 15 second exposure on Astia--fortunately, there was no wind. The silence was profound. It is lovely country.

Thanks Mat. I like the staining developers for the reason you mention, and I find it's easier to control the highlights while having a full tonal range in the image, and hence avoiding N-1 or N-2 compression in the development. I've been using Xtol recently, but have already decided to revert to PMK Pyro when I've used up the current batch. And thanks for the explanation of the centre filter acronym - I should have picked that up, d'oh.
And thanks, appletree, for your kind comment.

It's rarely a good idea to shoot into the sun, but I didn't have much choice as there was a high risk of rock and icefall and we couldn't stay long. I wish I had developed this in something like PMK Pyro, however, in order to tame the contrast.
Thanks stradibarrius. I took a few more shots at that location, with the idea of creating a panoramic image. This is where I've got to so far, and it's the first time I've knitted two 4x5 images together - it's far from perfect, but there's some potential here, imo. Next time, I might take vertical rather than horizontal images, for example;
