Nice shot Steve. The colors and presentation remind me of the Grand Canyon photos taken in the 1950's when I would read Arizona Highways magazine in Jr. High School. Very nostalgic.Quote:

For the past 3-4 years I've been "wild camping" with my large format camera a few times every summer. I seem to end up around Llyn Bochlywd or Ffynnon Lloer in Snowdonia National Park, Wales, UK, more times that a sane man should! Probably the relatively short walk-in, longer than expected journey from my home (sometimes 6 hrs, sometimes 4 hrs) and the fact that you can get some stunning views helps. (Click for larger images).
All Chamonix 045N-2.

This photo was originally taken on 4x5 large format Velvia 50. I’m rediscovering it almost 5 years later. The scene was quite contrasty, with the snow on the mountain, and, unfortunately, the film was generally underexposed. I was able to rescue the image by bringing up the shadows and converting to monochrome. It is still quite dark, however; I think it works to set a moody, dramatic, scene.

Very moody and spooky. I like.

This falls was the site of a tragic dam failure in 1977 that killed almost 40 people in the college and town below. The dam was made to power a small hydroelectric power plant which still stands near the falls today.

A little darker and it would be a great night scene for a Hollywood movie. How about Hitchcock's North by Northwest?Quote:

Wow -- that's great!

I was lucky with the clouds. The overcast day broke finally, with some puffy clouds making the sun hazy but directional raking across the scene beautifully. I took a photo about 30 minutes before which is just dull and boring due to the light. People were all over the place taking selfies, but I waited until it just about cleared...you can still see the blur of one person on the far left middle, and there's a backpack in the scene, but in b&w they blend in well enough.
I think the polarizer really helped too. I need to use that more in these conditions...
PS: I really wanted the trees bracketing the falls, which came out well here. Inside, after shooting this, I was browsing a a collection of old line drawings and paintings from probably 50-100 years ago, all of which prominently displayed trees bracketing the falls. Seems I was in good company!
Dramatic and voluminousQuote:

I have also on occasion used a single BTZS tube stood vertically to semi-stand develop one sheet. I make sure the sheet is inserted further down from the "lip" of the tube so it's completely covered by solution. I can't remember what the volume of the tube is but I mix up enough to fill it plus some extra, and then use another tube to measure out the exact amount needed to fill the tube up to the lip. Then I pour it in and close it up, and invert the tube back and forth for the first 30 seconds.
Well done.Quote:

Four Peaks Arizona at night. You can't tell, but Milky Way is in the background as are a few stars. However, with only a 25 minute exposure, there is not near enough exposure time to record the faint details and the sky glow over rides the faint starts and Milky Way. If I had it on a guided mount, I could have made a many hours long exposure and got a could image of the stars and Milky Way.

Which way are you facing? If towards Phoenix, you'll certainly never overcome the light pollution, but perhaps you could facing away.
I see that's near the Roosevelt Dam. I drove all the way down 88, then up and around 188 to 87 last time I was in AZ. It was a nice drive with some good photo potential, but the day I went was awfully hazy and with no clouds. Maybe I'll get lucky next time.

Actually I did that, I may have added too much blue. Let me go back and see what my settings are. I can send/post image without color balance. I will try your settings as well. I was trying for a color look as it appeared to warm to me, but I probably went too far.
Thanks for the suggestions. They are always very good at improving my images.
I am east of Highway 87 facing pretty much due east towards globe, Tucson, etc. Phoenix and Tempe are direct y behind me.Quote:

The atmosphere in that area has changed drastically over decades of watering golf courses
and of course the desert changes color with rain
Here is where I took shot. Arrow is how I was facing.
Still better than most of countryQuote:

Hiking for three days in the wilderness with a large format camera is pretty hard on the legs! Got a few nice images through, slowly working through developing and scanning them.
