Thanks, everyone! I'm new to landscape photography, but I'm loving it. Of course, in the Banff area it is virtually impossible to make a bad photo. :-)

Tremendous shots Sean. Any details about film, filters etc you would be willing to share?

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Absolutely.
All were shot on Fuji Velvia 50. No filters at all (forgot to pack them). The reflective lake was shot with a 150 lens, Marble Canyon with a 210 Nikkor, and the Badlands with a 72mm (I think. Maybe 58mm)

Re: Large Format Landscapes
The Marble Canyon image is unusual for its choice of time of day (I would say between 10:00AM and 11AM?) and type of lighting (slightly side say 45-60 degrees). In fact I am going to guess that you had high thin clouds with a very modest reduction in intensity. THere are virtually no blocked up shadows with this lighting which offers so much detail throughout. The sidelit trees add wonderful color dimension. Really great image.
I am very fond of my Nikkor 210 as it has rendered many of my favorites.
Keep up the good work.

Me too...I like a lot my Nikkor 210. I've shot a lot of 8x10 negatives with it, too. Nikon had on their site the information about this lens that it would cover just untill 5x7" format, but it covers 8x10, with about 1/2 inch movements.

Nana, This is a good thing to know! I'm going to try mine on 8x10!

If you want to be sure about covering, you must focus your lens to infinity and then, you look thru the lens, your eye the closest possible to the lens, then you move your head up and thown, to look at the 4 corners of the GG, if you can see the 4 corners, the lens will cover the format, you can even see how much extra coverage the lens will have. This is very helpfull with all cameras and lenses, especially when you do raise, down and shift movements, to confirm that the lens is covering all the negative.
Here are 2 photos made with my Nikkor W 210/5.6 and a Kodak 2D 8x10" camera:

Thank you!
It was closer to 2:30pm or so I think. There were 0 clouds in the sky, perfect blue.

That will tell you if your lens illuminates the format. Try that with a petzval. It tells you nothing of the sharp coverage of the lens.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
I recently returned from 3 weeks shooting in the South-West. Trip of a life-time for this Aussie beginner. I have started processing the many sheets of Velvia - here's an image from my first batch. Antelope Canyon. 150mm F16 @ 2:28.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nana, the seascape is almost "otherwordly" except that the foreground rocks "ground you" into reality. Great images both. Thanks for sharing. Portugal seems like an exquisite place to photograph.

Yesterday, I made a visit to one of my favorite places, the Blue Ridge Parkway. Near mile marker 190 I could not drive by this scenic. This
is the way it should be, beautiful, quite, calm and peaceful.

Ditto.... I have yet to get a nice crisp clear neg from my own developing. Something tells me, maybe try a lab on some sheets to see if it is indeed me.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
As I have said several times, I like to revisit places to shoot variations of my previous photos... and this image clearly falls in that category, but to me it surpasses the previous ones...
Chamonix 5×8", Schneider Symmar 300mm, 5×8" Adox CHS 25 shot at EI 25, N-1 development in Rodinal.

No offense, but I'm having a really hard time making sense of what is happening in this picture. I think the blown highlights in the snowy part almost make it look like it belongs to another image or that it was edited in.

Thanks Vaughn, I chose to crop this particular section of the film for a surrealistic impact. For example, I wanted the saplings to look like giant trees, next to what appears to be a raging Mississippi in the mountains. The smooth “grainless” quality of Tmax-100 helped me out.
