yes petrochemist, 6x7 could be a good crop and you're right: "so care must be taken not to trim too much." :-)

Alberto,
I love this last one! Photos that don't include a person rarely hold my attention, however excellent they might be.
This is another image made while on our way to the grocery store, testing something or other. In this case, we were testing a 45mm f/2 Minolta Rokkor X Pancake lens we found in a thrift store bargain bin.
It's Ilford Pan F+, EI 50, developed in Obsidian Aqua, 1:500, 12:00, 70F, with ten seconds agitation every three minutes.
Ilford Delta 3200 @ 3200, Pentax 645 75mm f/2.8 wide open, D-76 1:1 12 min in Jobo.
Occupy Everett in November. Definitely November, because it was before Thanksgiving.
The color picture is from Thanksgiving, done with Fuji GA645zi.

Mamiya 7II, 50mm + gradient ND filter, Rollei ATP (?):
An over-cooked roll in Rodinal that was hard to scan and didn't bother with any on the roll at the time. But I thought I'd try out Lightroom 4 on it with its new curve control. It seemed to salvage the shot. The wind was blowing enough to move branches on the trees so I had to shoot faster film.

I headed off to the cliffs to see what I could find. On the way there I found a area of burnt out trees, with a single burnt palm tree. I saw it an just hit the breaks. It was so stark. The utter blackness of the palm, vs the white ash covering the ground. I grabbed the big camera, light meter, filters, film, and the DSLR. I got everything set up and took a light reading, transfered everything over to the DSLR to proof the shot and saw that I didn't have any memory cards in it. Bummer. But I liked what I saw, so I fired off some black and white shots with the LF camera, and took this one with my cell phone and a 80A blue filter for some instant gratification.
Burnt out palm tree in Southern California:
That place was just eery. With the absolute silence, and the ever present burnt smell it was rather creepy. With all of the ash on the ground you did not make any sound as you walked around.
I'm hoping the film version turns out well. After that shot I milled around with the Hasselblad and ran a roll through it. Just too much there not to photograph it.
Looks great tuco! Great balance through the three trees.
