Thanks mathieu...

Here is my last addition from that outing:

Shelter in the Fields
Added to my "Serene Landscape" series.

Shot with Chamonix 5×8" and Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 210mm f:4.5 on 5×7" sheet of Fomapan 200 exposed at EI 125, developed in Rodinal. Cropped the bottom a bit.

The meadows look lovely!

And there's this question gnawing at me - the sky looks severely overexposed, like a digital image that couldn't keep any highlights -was that after effect of scanning /Photoshop? Something else?

Thanks. I didn't have a graduated ND filter at hand when I was exposing the image, but I used N-1 exposure and development for compression. It was a bit difficult to adjust the curves during the scanning phase, but I kept an eye to not crop the ends, and the histogram was right in the middle of the scale. I had to tweak both the bright and dark areas of the histogram (the curve and parameters used during the scan were nowhere close to what Epson Scan software though they should be). Then I adjusted curves separately for the sky and for the ground. And no, I don't think it is overexposed at all. I do see quite a lot of details both on the negative and in the scanned image (I have yet to produce a print, though)... might be a different monitor calibration...

Dave, you're welcome, I made the Pantanal crossing also few times by train from Sao Paulo til Corumbá/MT, in the summer, there were the most beaty sunsets I saw in my life,

Cheers,

Nice use of reflection!

There are loads of outstanding and inspiring shots in this thread! Has certainly made me look forward to shooting some colour film too. At the moment I'm just using Fomapan 100 until I get more used to what my camera can do, movements, etc. but here are a couple of mine - shot on my Calumet with a Fujinon 150mm f/5.6:

13 minute exposure with a 10 stop filter, f/32 semi stand developed in Rodinal for 40 minutes.

This one was shot at f/5.6 but my notes seem to have gone awol so I'm not sure on the shutter speed. Developed in the same way as above.
