Wonderful image, the mist gives great separation and depth.

I think the difference between hand-held cameras and Large format may be mental rather than equipment oriented. I've used a Nikon like a view camera. (though rarely a view camera like a Nikon.) Just depends on your approach to subject matter.
This guy has an interesting approach to breaking down the problems in simple ways: http://robertlangham.blogspot.com/. He's got a book called the Blackfork Guide on Blurb that lays it out in very plain terms. Pretty good about posting regularly and putting up images. Shoots 5X7 out of a Deardorff.
The Dot at Shiprock, New Mexico, 2012 Probably could have shot it with roll film but it did use some front rise or fall. 5X7 Deardorff.
I like images that are on the edge of movment: Shadows running out, clouds moving, light changing. 5X7 with 120 Super Angulon and HP5 in Xtol. No filter. Makes a shocking image on 20X24 paper. This file is from the negative proof.
Evening Shadow, Shiprock, New Mexico.
This might be of help to somebody. It's a video from Shiprock, looking over the South dike at dawn and just after. I spent the night in a little sleeping bag cover up on a split boulder. It's tough, snakey country, with poltergeists, so be careful. Had been up on several trips so I knew where I was and was going. Set up before dawn. Sunrise about 7:03. Light over by 7:10.
5X7 Deardorff with a 120 Super Angulon on it. Polarized, I believe. Ilford HP5 in Xtol.

Might as well throw up the whole shebang. This is a video of iphone images from Shiprock trip. Watch yourself at Shiprock. Thieves, snakes, poltergeists, kissing bugs, loose rocks, dust storms. All starting at 6700 feet. I've spent a LOT of time there over 40 years so I know my way around but you can still get surprised!
This is a gorgeous shot. Will be printed this fall.

Blackfork 6 Channel on Youtube has several photographic videos. Just sort through all the rifle shooting stuff.
I remember Dave Bohn saying that when he learned photography it was a long time before it occurred to him that folks photographed anything else BUT landscapes. He was SHOCKED!!!
