Large Format Landscapes

RfFrase, really nice image. Was it printed to gelatin paper, or scanned from the negative?

4x5 Astia, Chamonix 45n2, 90mm/6.8 Angulon. Really wish i had brought better wide angle on that trip, but oh well..

My first post to largeformatphotography.
Camera: Gaoersi 6x17, Kodak Ektar 100, Scan with Epson V700 and converted to Greyscale in Lightroom.

This was taken at the pinnacles area in Crater Lake Nat Park. I wanted to fool around with front and rear tilts to eliminate the perspective distortion from shooting downward, but my position was precarious, on loose footing. I felt lucky to get this without losing my whole kit down the slope! In retrospect, I ind of like the effect of the distortion.

Very nice shot, H2oman, glad you didn’t fall.

I like how the pinnacles & trees mimic each other.

Crater Lake is a fascinating and mysterious place.

Not that I don't get good stuff or enjoyment out of seeing new places, I find I get the best images I can when I marry my self to a subject or a place and stay there awhile.

That's why it is best to actually live in these places, in order to get well above average shots, you have to live it 24/7 and of course, be very talented. I have lived just down the road from these peaks for 15 years, have climbed them 3 times, all the 14,000 peaks in Colorado at least once. I am starting to take my 45N2 to the tops of these places.

If three's a crowd, then......100+ is a problem. Not one person had their tripod at a different height than the other, hilarious....

OMG I can believe it. What 's the point to go in the mountains when it looks like rush hours.
