57 tmax.
Stopped on the way to work yesterday:
Sinar, Symmar210, efke25 in Rodinal.
Yes I looked at your website and wonder why you use the frames there. I think that yours as well as other websites that use frames simply weaken the impact of the photography. In fact I think the frames just make the whole presentation look hoakey <sp?>. So much so I loose interest in looking at the photos.
Sorry to be so negative but that's my gut reaction to this kind of presentation.

Dear seabird,
I use to frame my internet images too, and I often wondered why I stopped...
For the moment, it is definitely too much work, but I would create the frame in PS, just to see what the final image might look like as a framed product, since this frame structure represents my framing material, except for the colour. The frame has a light silver and gold leaf tone to it, and the black inner bevel is cotton covered, which extends about one inch wide from the edge of the outer frame. I have framed my images this way for many, many years.
If you want my PS file, just let me know...

I do occasionally use one and a modest 1 or maybe 2 stops here probably could have helped without flattening the scene. I would have liked to preserve a little hint of color in the sky, but after looking at the slide this weekend on a light-table I think I burned it out completely. Live and learn I guess, it's certainly not my first less-than-optimal large format shot, and surely won't be my last.
