I usually hike with my Chamonix (3.5 or maybe even 4 pounds lighter) but lately I've been using my Linhof and I think I might need to reconsider if those 4 pounds is worth the frustration I've been having with my Cham lately. Maybe I've beat it to hell and it's starting to get worn-out, but I've been having focus creep problems, alignment issues, etc. I've probably pushed 1000 sheets of film through it...
Anyway, for this shot I was precariously perched on a medium-sized rock that could just barely fit my tripod. I had to dance around the camera, careful not to slip and fall in the creek, while I focused. Then I realized my lens board was centered because I had popped my 58mm on a different board recently so I had to switch my lens board with the 150mm I had so I didn't have vignetting, while also not dropping it all in the creek! :) I am stupid yes I know :).
Still, a damn good image!Quote:

Yw, that is good fortune.
Ha, and a bit unlucky that all of the tourons decided to wear white that day...:) I'd definitely sneak back there with a second AD to tell everybody when to hunker...the blacks in the foreground are fantastic.Quote:

GA LF group, and anyone else kinda sorta close, like you, so maybe I'll ask - in the fall would be awesome. Personally I would love camping here a couple nights if they allowed it.
It's one of the most unique waterfalls in GA, with such a sheer drop. This image gives a bit more context to the number of people around early in the day. It got way worse fast. I waited till they were at least situated and not awkwardly climbing around on the rocks.
Very cool--you can tell that it's in that little patch of Cumberland Plateau there in Georgia...very much like the "amphitheaters" you find further north.Quote:

Yeah nah...
Recently I accidentally developed some color negative film as black and white. It was very dense and hard to use. I discovered last night that I could soak the negatives in Farmer's Reducer for a long time and that made the density come down to a more "normal" amount. I don't know what actually is going on here chemically but I salvaged this image and like the resultant tonality well enough.

This is one of three images I took on a 7-mile loop hike in Contra Costa county early last month. This one doesn't have any clouds but the other 2 do. All were shot on Kodak Tri-X 320 with a Toyo 45AX. I printed this image last night on Ilford warm-tone glossy RC and plan on reprinting it on various FB papers and trying various toners to see how much I can improve it. The contrast grade I chose for this printing was 2.75. A 10x loupe held to the print shows individual grass blades in focus throughout the print. A Rodenstock apo-sironar-s lens was used.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, as they say. Today I went out to shoot during a lull in the rain, but where I was planning to go was closed when I got there. So instead I went to one of my local places I go when I just want to shoot a frame or two and when I got out where I wanted to be, it started pouring rain. Luckily had the forethought to bring my umbrella. Then after that died down, the clouds went away and weren't interesting anymore. But then I looked around and happened upon this scene in the undergrowth. Beautiful pearls of light, the raindrops coalescing on the ferns. About 30 seconds after I made this image the sun came out and blasted the delicate light into oblivion.

A mimosa sapling, I believe--though of course, a series on the invasive landscapes of Georgia would pretty much be a license to print money in these "woke" times.:)Quote:

Ah I see, yes I just kinda call that general leaf shape "ferns" but you're right. There was some flowering mimosas on the other side of the lake. I like the pink "flowers" on those. I didn't know they were invasive...yesterday I did see some kudzu taking over a massive area of land. That's the default when I think of "invasive!"
LOL I probably shoot less than 10% of my photographs on 4x5 with longer than a 150mm! Cropped a little on the sides, this would be like a 47mm XL with a 6x12 back. I was only a few inches from the leaves. This makes a very different "feel" to the image compared to a normal lens.
I like the tones. When I think of landscapes, I think of grand, sweeping views with a horizon. But that's just me. :)Quote:

I need to make a contact print first and see how the contrast is. I way over-developed it, but it still might not be enough contrast for alt process.
Very nice. Well done.Quote:
