Thanks. I guess I need to explore this are more. So many amazing groves up in the Redwoods. I envy Vaughn and love my once a year visit. may need to increase my visits as I love the environment and have not even scratched the surface.

Here's my new work,

11 x14 Carbon Print . This image was taken with the 18 in Hermagis Non Eidoscope Petzval lens.

Very good, Tri! Nice to see the set-up also!

I have been photographing along the same stretch of creek for 30+ years -- and I feel the same way...

Thanks for this, Vaughn, I feel now less weird from returning over and over to the same spots.

Jim, I'm in total agreement, the more a person visits a place the greater the awareness.

Fantastic images in this thread, I love alternative processes. Currently I work in Gum Bichromate over Cyanotype but I have dabbled in Platinum/Palladium, Wet Collodion, and Van Dyke. I've picked up the supplies for Albumen prints but have yet to start it.

I went back several pages and didn't see any gum prints, so here are a few of mine

From my last trip to the Redwoods. A couple of carbon transfer prints. So hard to show the detail in the scans but these prints are something to see. Especially in the shadows.
