Very good, Steven!
Thank you.
Yes, Steve. It's a pleasure to see the canyon in weather other than sunny. Good timing here.
Steve, You're really getting the Howtek down. Nice shot.

Easing of UK Lockdown restrictions have finally enabled me to get out and expose some film in the last week. Here's one of the 8 sheets I've recently exposed and processed at home.

It also has a legendary past associated with the occult and the hanging of witches!

Damn, that is a unique stone. I bet if you did some excavation you would probably find more evidence. Of course, you won't get that chance :)
I didn't realize it was 8 foot tall! I thought it was an itty bitty stone and you were laying on the ground.
Hi DaveQuote:

Yes that's right. But Rollright Stones (the large ones) have metal fencing around, and are a bit of a new age zoo with lots of visitors, so much less easy to photograph (even as slightly closer too me).

This has the subtlety and beauty of a Chinese watercolour - remarkable!Quote:

That's a wonderfully evocative photo--the foreground in the left corner is worth the price of admission, I think.:)
Thanks, wind and light were a little wild.Quote:

Really love this Gabe, detail over the entire image! I just keep looking...
Many thanks.Quote:

Ah, the joys of compromise :p
To be honest though this is just my inner perfectionist talking, and the "problem" wouldn't really be noticeable unless noseing a 40" print.

I have revisited this scene a few times over lock down trying to get the definitive image and also using it as my test location for trying different films and filters under different conditions. This was shot on 4x5 with a 210mm APO Symmar @ f32. Film was FP4+ with a red filter.

Up the Skagit River expecting big runoff flow, but the dams weren't releasing much, so I scrambled around in the gorge to find some smaller flow. TriX with yellow filter, 150mm lens, scanned from print.

I hope you can return to the Skagit and share more images like this.
