Very pleasing.

Thanks. I double-checked and the edge markings say "Fuji RDP" which I believe is Provia, although this was shot over twenty years ago so there may have been some color shift in the interim. It was also a bit over exposed and the resulting lack of harsh contrast and absence of deep black shadow areas makes it look less chrome-like.

EDIT: My color-balancing skills are pretty rusty since I mostly shoot and scan B&W these days. It's possible that I unintentionally introduced some extra warmth in trying to eliminate the magenta cast present in the transparency even though I was aiming for a neutrally balanced end result.

Thank you for your kind words!

It definitely is! The guy was also complaining about the light -- how it wasn't quite foggy enough for what he was trying to do ;)

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks, Joe. I was pretty new to LF and spot metering back then, but it all worked out.

There's not many of you guys left!" A humorous moment to say the least. I think this guy fired off a couple hundred shots hand held during the time he was there. :D
