Zaitz, I am a fan, great stuff!

Here are a couple of my personal favourites.

Don't know why this one is resized smaller.. 12mm Voigtlander on M9

All M9 and 18mm ZM Distagon unless otherwise noted. I have a lot of stitched pano's but I don't really consider them 'small format'.

Here is another from my Nikon S2 (with the 135mm f/3.5 lens). I used Kentmere 400 film developed in xtol stock. This cheapy film is actually pretty nice. I like the grain.

As an aside, I sure wished I lived closer to some of these awesome places you guys are posting.

That's an incredible picture. Otherworldly. And I love the blowing sand. The one time I explored the dunes in Death Valley, there were footprints everywhere and it drove me mad until I realized that the whole business was a little absurd, me tromping around looking for 'pristine' sand, so I just went with it and started photographing footprints. A few of them turned out pretty cool-maybe I'll post them.

As for my procedure, well, my um, 'workflow' is pretty primitive. I think I'm now at the point where I know just enough (barely) to get what I want, or at least I've convinced myself I do, but I'll tell you, when I browse through some of the forum topics here (particularly the digital stuff) I start to break out in a cold sweat: "Man, I really have no idea what I'm doing!"

Anyway though, I shoot film (medium format or 5x7 these days), have it developed (gasp!) and then scan it in with my Epson 4990. Sometimes I play with the levels a bit. Then I work (with Photoshop Elements-double gasp!) on the contrast and the brightness and so on. After that, there's usually a little dodging and burning and then some sharpening. For the tones I add a fill layer. I have a list of codes for my favorite colors. And that's about it really. I try and keep things simple, not so much for philosophical reasons, but because I like to keep my energies focused on going out into the world and discovering things. Either that or I'm just not very smart-ha! Thanks for the compliment though. I admire your own pictures a lot.

Michael, I'm a sucker for ruins, there aren't any interesting ones in Australia :(
Zaitz, both astounding pictures, the redwoods in the fog shot (as with your 4x5 shot) has great atmosphere and mystery to it. The Death Valley shot is great as well! Is it a blend/hdr? a lot of dynamic range in that image :)
The seascapes are taken all over the place, the first and last taken near my house in Perth, Western Australia, the second is from a lake also near my house. The one with the orangey rock formations is from a place called Kalbarri about 6 hours North of Perth. The round boulder is from Moeraki Boulders near Dunedin in New Zealand.

I definitely got a bit lucky. The other people there wouldn't go 50 yards out from the parking. And if they did the wind would blow the foot prints out pretty quick. Only footprints were my own!

Thanks for the insight. I just kept seeing the consistent toning. It works well in every image and that surprised me. I can never get a set scheme that works well in more then a few photos. And thanks for the compliment.

Thank you! Single exposure for this one. The seascapes above were a blend of two to gain detail in the rocks/shadows. The d300s files are very adjustable. Looking at the histogram I set the EV to underexpose by almost two stops. This gave my nice sun stars and the shadows were still recoverable. The sun is overexposed and pure white. But by yellowing the highlights it softens them quite a bit and gives the highlights less harsh of an appearance. Copious dodging on the ripples brought them out. And thanks for the info. I'd love to have access to a fantastic coastline like in those.

Eddie,
Very nice. It's almost like you can reach up and grab a cloud. I would love to have those in the sky today. I'm wrapping up a few calls for work and will be heading for Cades Cove immediately after lunch. Without clouds, there's always rivers, creeks and waterfalls. The Smokey Mountains seem like a fine place for testing out a batch of film holders. I wish I had time to do it before I left, but here I am. I can only hope for the best.

For some reason, of the ~260 photos I took in Hawai'i this past June with my Leica M6TTL, this one is overwhelmingly the most popular:

I don't get it. It's just a ship model! I used either the Leica 24/2.8 ASPH or the CV 21/4, probably the 21 at this distance. Apparently, someone linked to it through tumblr, and then it became really popular.

And here's one that I actually like:

Great stuff, Tuco, these last three images, but weren't you killed off at the end of season 1? :)
I'd like to know how you maintain such clarity and detail in scanning these beautiful photos (I'm assuming you scan, but correct me if I'm wrong).
I always feel like I have to over-sharpen after scanning just to get the detail back, at which point it starts looking kind of fake to me.

Why thanks. Ha, my tuco is from the movie, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I believed he lived to spend that money.

Yes, I scan myself. Sharpening our scans can be difficult. Tools like smart sharpen, unsharpen mask and high pass sharpening can all be employed. I take it your final sharpening is that last thing you do after you have scaled your image to its final size, right?

I scan to a DNG file and find I get good results with the sharpening tool in Lightroom 3 where I do most of my editing except I need to also export from LR3 to CS5 for using the healing tool to clean dust (so much better there), apply local curve adjustments and sometimes toning. But sometimes I'll do my sharpening in CS5 with those sharpening methods I noted.

awesome well done ! tuco

Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
Yes, I do sharpen after re-sizing; I've been wondering if my scanner has an inherent softness, since I never adjusted the scanning height for 4x5.
Keep up the good work!

A couple of shots of the Olympic Sculpture Park Fountain in Seattle taken at different times. One in afternoon sun and the other when it was in the shade. Periodically the fountains switch to expose either the Father, Son or both. The long exposure erased the people who were walking and biking by but the second one some people were standing around and got recorded.

This is a cliché shot of Seattle under full moon light. I was just trying out this new film and this was my first roll. I took a shot at 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min and 4 min since I wasn't sure of the reciprocity characteristics. This is the one minute exposure. I took a reading off the Space Needle with my one-degree spot meter of about EV2. But that's not too accurate since it didn't cover the entire one-degree circle. I went with it anyway and placed that 3 stops above middle gray and for f11 that works out to be a one-minute exposure for EI400.

Very nice indeed. Reminds me of Altamont Pass where lots of wind generates energy.

One from me. The Amtrak Coast Starlight has a little bit of color on the head end yesterday afternoon. One of Amtrak's engines pooped out between Seattle and Portland, thus a Burlington Northern Santa Fe engine was added to the point. It stayed with the train all the way to LA. Here the "Starlate" rolls through Bradley, California about an hour late.

People looking at the Gum Wall in Post Alley, Seattle. The Market Theater Gum Wall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gum_Wall) is a local attraction where people stick their gum in addition to coins all over a brick wall. And if you find a fresh one, it still has some flavor left I've discovered. :eek:

This was normal developing time but I have been working on a compression development method described by Gordon Hutchings, the author of PMK Pyro, as "minus-x" development for high contrast. He briefly noted to meter and place the low values, add 3 stops to your exposure and develop the film 50% less. In other words, meter, say, 400 film at EI50 and place your zone III as normal and cut the development time in half. 400TMY looks like a good candidate to try this on. So I've been looking for scenes with 15+ stops in them to try it out.

Two of the cameras, a stash of film, a cable release, and my Luna Pro SBC all would fit into a neat little shoulder bag smaller and lighter than my 35mm bag with two K mount bodies and two lenses. It's a nice little kit.

Nice shots. #2 is especially cool with those clouds. I have a buddy who has a cabin in Altoona, WA right on the river which is east about 15 miles as the crow flies from Astoria. Saw those ships all the time too. This shot should be familiar.

Great looking sky! The Columbia is pretty unique in that it can host the big ships.

Apology for the large size but this thing needs the size to see the hikers on the trail to the right side (glacier side)
Pano of 6 shots taken with Minolta Autocord - TMX In Tmax 1:9
I have to print it in really large but I start sweating at the cost of framing if I decided to.

If you have the occasion to come to the Canadian Rockies this is a trail that you need to do. Less people and a view....

Really nice pan. But I still don't see the hikers.

Really nice pan. But I still don't see the hikers.

There is a rectangular rock on the right side and a trail that goes parallel to the glacier line. On a 6"x22" print or at higher magnification you can see the hikers making their way.
I am considering printing on a 13" roll of Epson Luster but these ink cartridges on the R2880 are SO small.....:(

I was walking around with my M7II rangefinder Friday and came across this. I really think I should have put on a polarizer with all that glare. But that's one of the quirks with a rangefinder. It reminded me of the old Television Police Drama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam-12) that ran through 1968-1975 called Adam-12. And at the opening intro you often heard the call:

"One Adam-12, one Adam-12 a 2-11 in progress. One Adam-12 handle code 3"

When I lived in Astoria along the Columbia River, I photographed the passing ships a lot. It was my version of 'street' photography. :-)

:) :)

Before the post Sept 11th security wave hit, every year I was given a seasonal all access pass to the St. Lawrence Seaway to wander and shoot the locks and the boats as they passed along the Montreal skyline. Many of the images made their way into the newspaper. It was always fascinating to watch these ships that just fit in to the locks with a foot or two to spare, sail up and down the seaway.

#1.

I like them both but if I have to choose one I prefer the first one. The high terrain closer to the camera on the right that falls away into the valley in the center with the high mountains in the distance gives it a strong sense of depth.

Good point. The bottom floor of the valley is better framed on the second but it is probably not enough to compensate. This likely make #1 less of a postcard composition than #2.

Luc

Agree, Plus-X is actually very nice in Diafine.

As a mostly penniless high school yearbook photographer in 1980-81 I used Diafine as my main developer because it lasts and lasts, and just used Plux-X when I wanted a 400 speed film, Tri-X at 1600 (I've since decided I like it better at about 1250 but that may be the meters in my cameras now versus then.)

This is a test shot of "minus-x" development for highlight compression using PMK Pyro. Basically you place the low values of the scene, add 3 stops of exposure and cut the development time in half. I was looking for a scene with 15+ stops of light but didn't find one. I walked by this establishment and it looked dark inside so I asked if I could take a shot and they agreed.

This is T-Max 400 shot at f11 and 4 seconds to give you an idea how dark it was in parts of the inside. Middle gray was placed at EV6 (zone 5). The girl's jeans measured EV4 (zone 3), behind her back is EV3 and the bright concrete outside EV15 (zone 14). The negative seemed thin by about a stop. The grain seemed the same as a normally developed roll of 400TMY. There is detail in that EV3 and EV15 areas not easily seen on this size. I'm looking forward to trying it on a more interesting scene.

tuco that looks great. Do you have an comparisons to digital with that method? I am wanting to do one to compare to my d300s.

Thanks. Digital uses more than one picture to bring that many stops by HDR software or picture blending, no?

I see DXO scores rating 12EV or so for dynamic range on digital cameras but I don't know how they get those numbers because every time I pull out my one degree spot meter and check a scene and compare to my digital and friends D700, I don't see 10 stops captured in the scene.

I would generally agree. Though others on another forum keep stating digital has superior dynamic range and I do not agree, not for a single exposure. Not to turn this into a debate. I may do my own tests soon.

I also agree. Usually, if I can shoot a scene with my D700 and get everything I want to see in the DR I feel comfortable with shooting it on slide film. I think digital might have a slight edge on transparencies but not negative.

Of course, if you are scanning, that can come back to bite you when your scanner can't get all the DR.

Yes, that's the problem. Getting everything that's on the negative is the challenge.

Hi Austin,

Two great shots, as is your habit.

'Basketball Court': Great treatment of a mundane subject. Quite creative.

The 'Insomnia' shot looks like a lake monster about to devour the house. :D

Thanks.

Frank, I like it I think she's your best looking model or how should I say most photogenic

Yeah so many young ladies have "not even well done" tattoos and piercings and weird haircuts and such, Jess almost has a retro, pre-60s look. She's actually a singer in a death metal band and uses the cuteness to advantage.

I've been through Boring. It really isn't a very exciting town. There's a Drain, Oregon as well. And I live pretty close to Aloha, which is just plain silly.

Really nice. You didn't get chased out of the store? I did shooting these. But I was not going to be put off. I went back in with the camera in a inconspicuous shoulder bag. Found the the scene, metered it, whipped out the camera, shot and dashed before any store manager would notice. I think they're kind of fun to shoot. It's too bad the attitude towards it.

BTW, not that I care, but Flickr's TOS says you're suppose to link back to their site and give you the proper BB code for that (or HTML) under Share->Grab The Link->BBcode radio button option.

Took this by wedging the camera between the windshield and dashboard, and hoping for the best. You can see we're midway through listing to port. Upon listing back to starboard, the ship will slap the water and send a big wave crashing over the bow and our car.

It was terrifying and fun.

It would have been cool to catch one of those waves crashing over the bow.

Nice one Tucco. I think your mannequins must be vintage, as there seems to be a trend now of of having them either faceless or headless. These sorts of things fascinate me... :) As for my own picture, it was actually taken inside the mall but outside the store, so I didn't have to worry about interference much. But believe me, I've been chased out of plenty of places!
When I was younger, I worked at a mall (at a camera store-surprise). A co-worker and I used to sneak around and put dollar sign sticker in the eyes of various creatures (think giant Christmas bears, etc) as a kind of 'guerilla art.' Man, I wish I had more pictures of that stuff.
I had no idea about the Flickr TOS. Thanks for the heads up.

I just took me first trip to Joshua Tree a few weekends back. It was a brief trip with my wife so I was in exploring mode, taking an Autocord and a rangefinder but nothing large format. I definitely see the appeal of the place. Here are a few from the Autocord:

Thank you. I had never seen one either. He was the first bird that was not a crow or a pigeon that I've seen here. I found him fluttering around under one of the A/C units at work. So I ran over to my shop and grabbed my camera. Once I got back he was kind enough to pose for this shot.

My attempt at a glamour shot from some years ago. I used the sun as a hair light and had a key and fill flash in the water on stands. While walking around in water with flash meter hanging from my neck, I stepped in too deep of water and it went for a swim. Surprisingly, after a few days of drying out, I put the battery back in and it worked.

Here's two I took a few nights ago. (I'm having a Graflex shipped out here.)

I've been waiting for about a month to get this shot. I did our command photo today and was able to have the helo parked where I wanted and the tail rotor rotated to unmask the unit's tail art. So after the sun went down all I had to do was wait for the airport across from us to shut down for the day and turn off their huge lights. Lucky me, they finished up at around 4am. :rolleyes: But I got my shot and I'm very happy with it.
