This one really has a classic look. Nice.

Wow, a full page of fantastic work - my kudus to everyone posted above!
My humble offering, from Zion (Taylor Creek Canyon), back in May and just after sunset.
Tachihara 4x5, Caltar 210 f/6.1, Ilford FP4+, 25A filter.

All the different tones from the trees and the rocks. You must have had a wonderful time under the dark cloth and in between.

Cheers,

Luc

Thanks Luc! I would love to say I had a wonderful time taking that shot, but I was really just worrying about the wind ruining the shot (and praying I figured out the combined filter and reciprocity compensation correctly). In the big picture though, that whole day was fantastic (most of it was spent right around there).

You're past few photos were really excellent, but the St. Joseph photo in particular is outstanding. It's one of those shots where everything looks like it just came together perfectly (though I'm sure it required a keen eye to make it look that way).

Thank you very much. The main issue was balancing between the rain and waiting for the peak to come out of the fog/clouds. At the end the rain won...

No, we only had time enough to do either Wheeler or Bald Mountain. For once, my inner photographer got the best of my inner peak-bagger, and I voted to go to the mountain with better views instead of the higher one.

Nothing wrong with that

I still seem to have a tendency to overexpose colour reversal film a little.

I'd appreciate any comments / criticism.

The last of my negatives from Great Basin National Park, a shot of Stella Lake in the Wheeler Basin. It's another semi-successful attempt to use tilt and a faster shutter speed in high wind. The larger aperture (1:16) left the middle distances rather fuzzy, but not too bad for modest enlargement.

I have tried an alternate crop of the image I posted above. I think I prefer it without the burned-out sky, but would appreciate other perspectives.

Hi Halford,

I definitely prefer the cropped version. The upper area of the original is a distraction, and that aspect ratio doesn't fit the subject well IM[-H]O.

Thanks for sharing.
