5.5x14 inch negative, FP4+ in PyrocatHD
Platinum/palladium print eventually
Rock, Merced River, Yosemite National Park, 2020
Fabulous
The aspect ration of the print really adds something - IMHO.

Re: What did you compose at Waters Edge?
Thank you. I seem to be doing a bit of centering lately...always healthy, but risky in photography. When doing so in this format, the ends almost act like peripheral vision and I need to make sure that they support the middle. With the vertical, the danger lies in creating two image, a lower and an upper, that do not interact and support each other. As a friend wrote me today about the image, the wood debris in the river bed connect to the dead wood under the tree and to the tree itself. He is a Circle-of-Life sort of fellow and I am pleased that he drew a connection that I was trying to make visually. The idea of treating El Capitan as sky has been playing in my head and on film for decades.

Excellent Vaughn. El Cap makes a great sky.
Re: What did you compose at Waters Edge?
This waterfall was located inside a privately run park somewhere down a very badly kept dirt road winding into the mountains just outside the national park. During the holidays the park was basically left unattended and I was the only visitor there that day. Too bad that the footpaths were very narrow and my options for compositions were rather limited. I am however, very happy with how the Fomapan 100 handled the dynamic range in this shot, I was looking at least at a 7-stop range if not more and I'm pretty happy with how the exposure came out.
The shot was made using Chamonix Alpinist X at 150mm. The film used was Foampan 100, home developed in Rodinal 1+25 dilution then scanned on a flatbed.

Nicely done, Beano. I like the bit of branches and foliage that blocks the top of the frame.

That is beautiful!

The horizontal ones are OK, the thick vertical one does bother me...
