And of course exporting the data to other places for keeping stored info off of your phone...

So yes it's a little tighter, I agree, but with so many features it's not so bad...

Now whether they are any good or not, that is another story. I do find it a fascinating place, partly because, in and of themselves, the tufas are not exactly "pretty," although they certainly are unusual. It is one of the few area where I really do not focus on the more intimate image, but rather on the grand image with the sky being a main component. I'll be posting two groups of images and all of them were taken with an Ebony 8x10 on various Fuji films - Velvia 50, Velvia 100, and Provia. For the most part I was please with my images, specially considering a couple of these were in some 30 plus mph winds and exposures were sometimes a couple minutes. In any event, here are the first four. The first two were taken at that time of morning when the sky is that deep blue. Would have liked a nicer sky, but that wasn't to be. The third image had much more cloud structure with an exposure about 2 minutes. The fourth was where the sky really had some nice clouds.

Nice group of images, Jim. Time at Mono very well spent.

Great job, Jim. I like them all.

I never have seen a 8x10" reverse film. It must be awesome.

Yea it's a great app.

Since the update I have started printing the exported notes in to a 4x5 peace if inkjet photo paper and then storing them with the negative, and I name my files to match the time stamp on the note.

Yea if my 4x5 transparencies blow me away, the 8x10's will probably knock me over haha

Harley, Erik, Omar, thanks. I always find I am drawn to the southwest/west. It seems my trips always take me to the same places - Capitol Reef, Zion, Death Valley, (and if I make it to Death Valley, I might as well take a trip up along the eastern Sierras.) I am envious of those that live close to these areas!

On this particular trip, I fortunately (and finally) ran into some decent light and skies. Doesn't seem to happen very often. Thanks again.

I really don't know if i will travel to USA again this year later, should i bring LF with me? I don't drive overseas and i don't know how to access to those locations there, so i don't know what the point of carrying LF if i can't access to those spots to use it.

I will buy film from USA rather than i buy with me, but unfortunately Velvia 50 is almost gone, and not sure what LF slides are available to buy from there.

In November of 2013, friend and fellow forum member, Randy Estudillo and I made a trip out to northern Arizona and southern Utah. For the first two days we were unable to use our cameras because there was either constant rain, high winds, or both! By the time we made it to Monument Valley, the weather had subsided. Limited to clear skies, I was looking for strong foreground elements that would be of visual interest and would allow me to raise the horizon line; this is one of those attempts.
