This is truly a fantastic shot, well done!

Which body and lens and film?

[johnmsanderson]

Thanks Pro..

4x5 Ektar 100, 58mm XL w/ center filter, Ebony RW45. About ~8 sec exposure, which blurred the midground waters a bit.

Still trying to figure out why some images look more saturated online than in CS. I convert to sRGB before uploading...

Great, thank you very much!

In fact i am finding that exposing correct/proper with color films will make it look nice and superb, i have one roll [120] of color, between shot and another even at same time shooting i see differences in colors, my monitor is calibrated, but i really don't know how to calibrate my scanner to have corrected or better results than what i have, i just shoot 2 sheets of Velvia 100F and both gave me amazing colors without more workflow, i would like to use Ektar but the lab in my area told me they don't process C-41 unless i submit minimum 15 sheets which is too too much atm for me, so the only choices i have are Velvia 50 and 100f and E100G.

I've been away for some time from this thread. Great updates, some very impressive imagery.
I've made a 6 days mountain trip with a friend here in patagonia. Great days, no people at all, mountains, clean and fresh air, huge backpack. Brought a couple of sheets back. Here is one made with my Toyo 45A, Schneider SA90mm f9 lens and Kodak E100g film (CPL+GND used also).

scanned FP100-45C

Looks like a good start; the fp100-45c is an excellent choice of film for testing things out, but is too high contrast to adequately capture the highlights here. The negative has more contrast if you kept it. Next time you're on this route and are confident in the camera's function, B&W or color negative film, especially a B&W developed in a pyro developer, would have the full range of light from deep shadows to detailed highlights.

I did ;) Just didnt get around to process film sheets yet. Want to accumulate few more before plunging into dark room.

I shot this scene on instant, then on film , then on digital sliding back.

I agree about instant being a bit odd with highlights.. Plus i just dont like 3200. I used to "slower" film speeds, and in fact everything else i shoot is rarely above 100, so it was halfhearted to tell the truth.

Well, this is a landscape we are all familiar with. I shot this in El Capitan Meadow on the 26th of March after an all day snow storm. Great thing was that I did not see another person in the park for about two hours from 4:30 to 6:30 PM. The Oaks were covered and some light snow was falling, fog in the valley. It was amazing. I kept wondering "where is everyone" it was kind of surreal. This is on Efke-25 on the 8x10 and is a monochrome carbon transfer print. Images like this are very hard to control especially with all that snow in the foreground. I managed to clear almost all of the pigment and the whites are textured and clean. The image has some nice relief and tonal range. Hard to show on the web as the image looks good in the flesh. More to come from the trip.

This struck me is a very menacing image at first (in a good way!!) -- in some Tolkienesque world where the one big deciduous in the upper right is commanding the others. I love the geometry of the trees from the right and left sides. The light is just right to silhouette the trees against the ground, the contrast is really balanced well overall.

Good heavens, I hadn't noticed the deciduous tree in the background. You're right--it does look like he's supervising his minions! I liked it before having that pointed out; I like it even more now.

Thanks a lot Tyler. I'm using Kodak E100G 4x5 film for my color shots. It's the only one I can get locally. I develop it at home using the Tetenal 3 steps Kit and a Jobo machine.
It does come out pretty saturated, I was a bit surprised after reading about it generally calm tones.

I like that one too, Gary. Nice choice of crop ratio, great atmosphere. Were you tempted to wade out there and pull out that downed branch or whatever it is on the right side? (A friend and I call that "going Fatali." I've not burned fireplace logs in national parks, but I've been known to remove an errant branch or two in the forest. I require myself to do it barehanded, with no tools, though. :D )

The large ones are probably linked rather than attached. If you look at the advanced editing window there's a little picture icon with what looks like a mountain and a yellow sky. Click that and you can put a link in to a larger photo. A lot of us use Flickr but you can put it anywhere that's publicly accessible and allows hot linking.

Thanks Vaughn, Steve,
Agreed.This one taken with the Phillips 8x10 Explorer . I was too lazy to flip the camera side way and already I max out the front rise . This is the only shot that I made during my lunch time and rushed back in to class for 3 days CE here in La Quinta.

[Vaughn]

Tri, I hope you don't mind a little critique even though you did not specifically ask for one.

The potential for this scene is very high, and I realize that you were probably rushed to record it. What I find lacking in the image are the left and right sides of the image. Neither one strengthens the middle of the image. Cropping mid-palm on the left seems to confuse what the eye is suppose to do there (best I can figure how to describe it). The openness on the right edge seems to distract one from moving easily towards the middle. These are compositional issue I have to deal with constantly in the redwoods.

A quick crop to a square image just to demo the change in how the sides work (and I do like the square format!)

Thank you for your patience with me!

Vaughn

[mdm]

I like it the way it is. Yours is too sterile Vaughn. Some photos I have made a dozen times and still find something not right. Then if you look back to the first one, its not really all that bad. The point is it is Tri's photo, not yours, so reflects his vision, and working on instinct usually produces the least artificial results. It reminds me of a photo of palms in the BTZS book that I admire.

For me it is about the curving road that the leafy bits trace in the sky, the extrapolation of the road into the sky, cropping it destroys that. It makes me want to go down the road to see where it leads, and to feel the shadows falling on me.

[Gary Tarbert]

Very interesting and dynamic, flowing comp. I like it a lot.Thank you Nicolas , I am really enjoying your mountain scenes, Particully the one with the glacier , The thing that really appeals to me is the way the jagged texture of the glacier leads you into the softness of the clouds punctuated by the peaks breaking through , Stunning!!

Thanks, David, your view is interesting.

Vaughn

Sorry to be such an opinionated little prick. There is never any malice involved.

[Vaughn]

It's cool, David. I was pushing it by offering a critique when none was asked for, so I understand where you are coming from. I am taking quite a liberty by manipulating Tri's image.

We all approach images, and composition, from different places, and I did find your observations to be of interest. For example, I thought my cropping actually increased "the extrapolation of the road into the sky" rather than decreased it...by eliminating the visual competition of the other bits of sky on the right side of the image. But I accept your judgement as equally valid.

And I found it interesting that my cropping seemed to create another element that was not evident or perhaps just not as strong in the original -- and that is the path of light that goes from the left to the right under the top portions of the palms. But the square is inherently a more stable, static format...which I took to be what you meant by "sterile".

But as I stated earlier, I cropped it merely to demo what happens to the center when one changes the sides. I did not intended to create a "better" image. A similar (and perhaps better) demo would have to just crop the right about the same amount as I cropped the left, but I consciously avoided making the stubby rectangle of the 8x10 even more stubby, and went for the square format I love (a bias I have from having learned photo with a Rolleiflex).

Yours, Vaughn

[Tri Tran]

Dear Vaughn, David,
No worries . Critic is good and I appreciated your time and suggestion. I mainly focused to capture the palm leaves details, tree trunk repetition in this scene but overlooked to cropped half of the tree on one side bby mistake . Problem will be solved once I matted the print.
I've tried to come back after class with my 14x17 for a vertical shot but couldn't make it in time.
The Carbon print is pretty. The relief is outstanding especially the leaves and the tree trunks.

Thanks

[Vaughn]

I hope to make it down your way to see your work someday, Tri. I was disappointed that I missed yours and Jim's show. I can see where the image would be very suitable for the carbon process!

I am looking forward to Jim's visit next month and seeing his latest work and hisnewly built 14x17!

I made a couple 14x17 negatives last week -- but only photograms of fern fronds, I'm afraid!

Yours, Vaughn

Vaughn, I once had a guy tell me at Inspiration Point in Yosemite that I did not want to look at the GG on his 8x10. Well we all know what happens when you do that. I love my 11x14 but last night I developed my first 14x17 negatives and all I can say is wow! The negatives have great presence is all I can say. Going to make my first 14x17 carbons tonight. Great image size.

[David Hedley]

Beautiful imagery guys. Here is a recent one from above a glacier over the clouds.

No doubt! The exposure is perfect.

[NicolasArg]

David, Zaitz> thank you for your words!

[Gary Tarbert]

The large ones are probably linked rather than attached. If you look at the advanced editing window there's a little picture icon with what looks like a mountain and a yellow sky. Click that and you can put a link in to a larger photo. A lot of us use Flickr but you can put it anywhere that's publicly accessible and allows hot linking.
Thanks , I must be a techno bafoon , because i can get my images on flikr , But how do i get them to attach/link to this site . Cheers Gary

[taulen]

1. Go to yur image.
2. Press the button with the envelope, facebook, twitter image" (in the upper left corner?).
3. Press "Grab the HTML/BBCode".
4. Choose "BBCODE", and choose the size you want.
5. Copy all the text in the "text box".
6. Paste it all in a reply box here on the forum.

Yosemite National Park, CA
4x5 Arca-Swiss, 90mm Schneider Symmar-S f/8 lens, Provia 100F QL. Converted to B&W via CS3.

This shot was salvaged from essentially a crap original. I had the camera positioned kind of high, and so I didn't notice the lens shade had obstructed the top portion of the field of view. I used provia and a warming filter (Heliopan KR3), but the warming filter did next to nothing (the image still has a strong blue cast). Next time I will use Astia, which has become my slide film of choice in recent months.

Tyler, you have an impressive portfolio on your website. I especially enjoy your shots of upper young lake, your Mt. Rainier images, and that star trail shot with halfdome. Excellent stuff.

I like the way Vaughn cropped Tri's image. It works better. Simpler and it gets rid of that pesky Palm tree on the left edge.

Is it BetterScanning (http://www.betterscanning.com/scanning/mstation.html) ? It will work fine.

According to the web site: 'The useable mounting area is approximately 243 mm x 173 mm or 9.5" x 6.8".'

You make your own mask: 3x8, 5x7, 5x8, whatever.

Can't calibrate the work ones unfortunately. The minor amount of editing on that shot is poor. It looks muddled and like garbage. I barely overexposed some Velvia 100 a few weeks ago and hated the results. I think more if it is in the poor scan/edit.

[Joel Truckenbrod]

I think more if it is in the poor scan/edit.
It looks like a scanning/processing issue to me as well, a bit of curves and color correction would go a long way.

My first post here. I'm just getting into 4x5, and this is one of my first landscapes. Any useful criticism/advice would be appreciated. =)

Easter morning at about 7.30. Taken from my back porch. Graflex Graphic View I w/ 135mm Optar f/4.7. Efke PL-25, D-76.Hi , Very nice view from your back porch here , My major critism is half of the image is the foreground grasses which are not that interesting , I am sure a short hike will render some more dramatic images. Cheers Gary

Shac...both are great but the bottom image is wonderful.Ditto !! , Also would be tempted to take a little sky of the top one . Cheers Gary

altcruiser & Gary - thank you both. I'll try cropping some of the sky Gary as you suggest

Just to prove I could get my unmotivated butt outdoors and make a photograph after five months of crappy midwest weather, here's the non-magical result. I had to post something! At least I remembered how to set up the camera and mix the chemicals...

Yucca and Zion Canyon (Zion National Park).

I just got back from a trip to Zion last week. This was my last photo from that trip, on my way out of town, taken from a small park in Springdale.

Tachihara 4x5, Schneider S.A. 90mm f/8, Ilford FP4+, HC110(B).
Ilford MGIV contact print.

(As an aside I'm interested in trying Pyro for developing FP4, but every time I start reading about it I become more confused by the myriad options, so I've stuck with HC110 for now)
