Re: Large Format Landscapes
I love Clingman's Dome! I need to go back. I want to camp there or something. Are some of the foreground trees still stripped bare and bone-white? When I went up there I had just bought my first 4x5, a Toyo GII monorail, which is 12 pounds by itself. I hauled that sucker up the trail with a huge tripod and big bag full of lenses and doodads. Boy was that stupid! I got home and started shopping for a field camera :). Here's an image from up there.
Anyway, here's my favorite shot from my trip to Lula Lake Falls. This will definitely be printed nice and big I think. It might not be visible on screen at this resolution, but there are some wispy, low-level clouds above the falls that I'll try to burn in when I print it. A few minutes later the sun came out - but the lighting was harsh and I'm not sure if I could've gotten a good image (though a sunburst through the trees would be nice, maybe next time).

That is nice--the boulder in the foreground really makes the shot, I think...one thing that jumped out at me yesterday is that there's just no substitute for movements in that environment. Given world enough and time, I keep thinking that a Walker Titan 5x7 (and throw in the 6x17 back while you're at it) might be the ultimate "back of beyond" solution if you could get by with movements just on the front standard and not need too long of lenses.
At any rate, a nice view from the Dome--I'm afraid our "ghost forests" only increase in size these days...the Fraser firs in this case, and now great swaths of hemlocks in the mid to low elevations. Still a beautiful part of the world to explore, though...:)

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks! Yes the small boulder in the front, along with the cascade peaking out behind, made the shot for me.
Personally I don't shoot 5x7, nor am I inclined to. However a 5x7 camera with appropriate 4x5 back + 6x17 back is interesting for sure. Check out the post in the "Lounge" about a 3D-printed 6x14 camera made by a forum member though, for an alternative for panoramic imaging.
Perhaps this spring I'll find some time to camp up in the Smokies...

Wet plate collodion (on aluminum) made this morning, before the Oregon fog burned off.
Deardorff + Symmar-S 240, 15 seconds exposure at f8.5, using John Coffer's Old Workhorse collodion formula.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Interesting shot, Bryan.
The composition works so nicely with the subject matter.
Also the movement in the water is quite lovely.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Came upon this scene while hiking back to my car Saturday. This was under a rock ledge, with lots of icicles melting and a ton of broken-off icicles on the ground. The sun had come out and indirectly illuminated the moss and ice, sparkling in the reflections. But the direct light was coming in fast so I had to make the photo quick. I had my 8 3/4" Verito on the camera and didn't have time to switch, which made me almost not bother, but then I considered how the scene would look with soft-focus. To me there is a "magical" look to this, and reminds me of some fantasy movies shot with this effect, I think from diffusion in front of the lens.

Yes I am liking this one a lot too. What are all the dead trees your link to the other photo?
-
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks David and scheinfluger. That other photo was just a follow-up in discussing a location in the Smoky Mountains, unrelated.
I just finished making a couple of 16x20 prints of this image in the darkroom, I am very happy with the results.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
A few months ago I posted some foggy images I made up at Fort Mountain. That evening as I was returning home I found a little pull-off area that overlooks the Cohutta Wilderness. The clouds were breaking as the sun began to set and I clambered on top of an old stone wall and precariously setup my Chamonix with 240mm G-Claron lens to shoot something. It was a chaotic area and I ended up just popping two sheets of E100VS. I didn't have enough E-6 to bother until this past week, and so finally got these developed.
I ended up having a pseudo-panorama. I think I should've shot 3 sheets as there was quite a bit in the middle I missed, but I think it works as a diptych:

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nice. Even before reading I thought that had an E100Vs look to it (which I used to shoot a lot- one of my favorites).

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Me too, I just didn't have any experience with it before it was gone. I have about 2 boxes left of the stuff in Readyload packets. I'll be sad when it's gone.

Yeah I have a few boxes left as well as some 35mm rolls and 120 rolls. I now use it very sparingly. It's my favorite for shooting in the M6 (aside from Kodachrome :(). I have not tried the new Ektachrome release (is it even out yet?)

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks, Steve. I didn't think of it at the time, but now that you mention it, the downed tree does kind of look like a catapult or trebuchet. Watch out!
The woods was full of late afternoon light, which helped. For once, there wasn't a branch in the foreground or corner to hose things up.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks chassis. I have been tending towards darker rendering lately, but the shadow detail is there on the neg so might have to experiment some more.

With the North Cascades Highway closed for the winter I could take a picture from the Gorge Creek bridge without traffic vibrations. There are so many details flattened onto the print that it becomes abstract. TriX 4x5 film, 210 mm lens, yellow #8 filter, scanned from this morning's print.

Looks great Pali. A good choice of material for the subject.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thank you Chassis! I had never scanned this because I shot a 8x10 Velvia 50 at the same scene. However, I now think that this version is better because it has more dramatic clouds vs. the Velvia version I also captured.
