Thanks John, Vinny. I felt a little weird sticking poor Mt. Hood over there in the corner, but if I turned my camera I lost the furrow pattern and that nice light on the grass (wheat?). Anyway, the sun was about to set behind a hill so there wasn't much time to mess around. Thanks again.

Rice? Probably not wheat.

No rice in this part of the country. I don't think they grow any rice on the West Coast much north of the San Francisco Bay area. Wheat or maybe some barley for our delicious local beer!

Another great shot, Austin. Keep the hits coming!

I have never seen wheat or barley grown in broad rows like that, its usually wall to wall, but the world is a big place so you never know.

Thanks, h2oman.

Haven't put one up here for a while...had a scanning backlog.

The Narrows, Zion NP, Utah, November 2012.

Hey, I think I know that rock! (old Ciba, upstream?)

Here are a couple of 8x10 shots from this past fall. Both shot with an Ebony 8x10 with a Fuji 300 5.6. The first is a small lake in northern WI and the second is an image from the Superior shoreline in MN. The sunrise image had a neutral density filter to lengthen the time exposure to somewhere around 2 minutes. And instead of using a graduated neutral density filter to balance out the sky in both images, I have been using my darkslide as a "dodging" tool. I moved the dark slide slightly up and down over the sky area for the duration of the exposure and it seemed to work fairly well. Jim

One more taken from last winter in Zion. Again, Ebony 8x10 with the Fuji 300 5.6. Some mud and reflections taken one afternoon with the light reflecting off the canyon walls. Jim

Wow Jim!
These are stunning!

BTW good job on the DIY-grad-filtering ;-)

Just for curiosity: was the misty autumn photograph done with old-generation Velvia 50?

Excellent work, Jim. Especially the long exposure.

Martin,

Thanks. To be honest with you, it is either some Velvia that is expired (but frozen since I bought it when it was short dated - around 2007) or it is some current stock. I'm not sure, I had both loaded but I really do not keep track. Jim
