Large Format Landscapes

I like this. Is the line bisecting the image just a sunlit area off in the distance?

That’s U.S. Highway 190. In remarkable sunlight, I might add. ;^)

Hi Bob,

That line was just sheer luck. There was a huge dark cloud in the sky casting that shadow but left what appears to be a white line in the distance. I have a follow up image with the ground all lit with no dark shadows.

Hi Heroique,

That actually isn't Highway 190. It truly was just desert before the mountain. This was taken in one of the big salt flats in Death Valley. Can't remember which one, I would have to ask my buddy that was with me that day.

Thank you for the compliment.

Here is the after image with the ground lit up. Sorry for the size but I need to rescan it bigger now that I have a system down regarding my Epson V700.

Well that really is remarkable!

I bet many will think that white line is a scanning flaw.

But it’s Nature mimicking digital!

hahaha Nature mimicking digital!

Now, looking at both versions, I'm not sure which I prefer. I think the white line is still a little more interesting. I can't wait to go back to DV, that place really is a like an amusement park for Medium and Large Format Photographers!

Definitely the white-line version - it makes it.

Austin that is fantastic.

Thanks Simon. Hard to tell here, but in person that one'll make your eyeballs bleed. In a good way, I mean. :-)

Theres only three things in nature that does this : birds & squirrels on a much smaller scale and primates (Sasquatch) as you see here..

Great find! I would investigate the hell out of it..
