A friend of mine he shoots mainly E6 will sometimes do the almost digital thing and expose for the sky on a separate exposure and blend .(i do it as well when grads can't be used ) And even though B&W film has far more dynamic range , Winter skies with no detail can present a problemOriginally Posted by Derek Kennedy
Here's one from last week that I shot up near Payson, Arizona. This is on a Shen Hao with a 90mm Caltar.
Not much you can do for contrast on gray snowy days aside from contrast adjustment. Keep going back in different sunshine situations.
chassis: thanks for the comments - Ive never tried stand development with sheet film yet. didnt think it would work too well with sheets?? figured they might start to float to the top or something. Ive used stand when developing 35mm and I think 120 as well and liked the results. I could try it with sheet, might try it with 4x5 first though. one thing i like about stand is that you dont have to worry too much about the temps. add the dev, come back an hour later (or whatever).
stoneNYC: I will try Rodinal next sheet for sure. I love using HC-110 and Rodinal as both are so cheap to use - drawing out what little you need.
jp: no you are correct - not much you can do with the flat lighting. As I mentioned previously, I like going to the same subjects to test different films, cameras, lenses etc and of course different lighting conditions. The next week should be pretty nice out (for us, at this time of year) so i wont mind making another trip out to the barn.
I dont mind making mistakes - if Im able to learn from them (although I really hate losing the image lol), its part of the fun of film photography for me. But sometimes, I just get frustrated.
Wow! very cool
"WOW! Now thats a big camera. By the way, how many megapixels is that thing?"
Thank you all very much for so kind comments on my previous photo.
I'm not sure if this one is failed or OK.
I visualized this three icebergs as sharp, fuzzier and blurred. But, obviously, I undersestimated the river and tripod stability.

Jaz99, I really love your pictures of Iceland. It's a place I have been wanting to visit for quite some time. My wife and I have scheduled our honeymoon over there, and hopefully it will happen some day.
Anyway, here's one much closer from home:

Lots of movements from the front standard to get everything in focus. Quite challenging for a composition that is probably a classic view of this rock.
Thank you

This is cool image. Funny, my wife and I are planning our anniversary in US south west ;-)
If you have any questions regarding Iceland, just post me a message.
That's still pretty awesome, I would love to have the opportunity to photograph moving icebergs, that's freaking just incredible, in my lifetime if I had the opportunity to see such a thing I'll be excited, let alone photograph it.Thank you all very much for so kind comments on my previous photo.
