Austin, just for fun - details please: format? film? developer?

I really, really like it. Wonderfully smooth tones, and the composition is just right.

Thanks Randy. Unfortunately, like a lot of people here I imagine, my printing is always way behind my shooting; I have a backlog of negatives that I periodically go through to see if anything is worth exploring. So even though I just printed this for the first time, I actually shot it seven years ago and I can't remember the details. Maybe I should write that stuff down. Anyway though, I can tell you that it was made with a Toyo 4x5 and a standard lens, a 210 I think. Film was T-Max 100, which is odd as I've never shot that much-there's nothing wrong with it, it's just not my personal preference. But let's see, what else, well, I do wish the rocks were in sharper focus (hard to see on your screen, I know) but at the time I couldn't figure out quite how to do that.

Oh, and it's printed digitally. Lately, I've been having fun playing around with different tones using fill layers. This one is called Goldenrod (Hex #DAA520 if that means anything to you).

That's about all I got. Thanks again for the kind words. I appreciate it.

Thanks Austin. For what it's worth, I have processed 4X5 negs that sat in the holder for 8 years after I exposed them

Likewise, I am going through many old 35mm, 120, and 4X5 negs that I shot many, many years ago (and never was able to get a good darkroom print) and scanning them and finding there is actually a good image hiding in there.

Two 5x4s stitched, 110xl, Velvia 100 on an Arca.



I can't decide if the amount the sun climbed in the time between the two sides (about 5 minutes, maybe less) ruins this or not...

I love that shot, Acheron. Has a real feeling of evanescence. The understated composition is nice too. The velvia captured some nice shadow detail! Normal processing?

Here's something to compare, I keep coming back to this tree over the years. First shot was 2004 on 35mm with 20mm lens, second was just last month on 4x5 with a 58mm. How things change. I wanted a train in the recent shot, but alas the sun and railroad do not cooperate.

Thank you. Yes, normal exposure and normal processing. Scanned on a V750, stitched in photoshop, no other manipulation. If only I could buy 5x7 Velvia for a reasonable price I wouldn't have to stitch 5x4. Or I could go the half 10x8 cut into 5x8 route I guess...

David.
