Great thing was that I did not see another person in the park for about two hours from 4:30 to 6:30 PM. The Oaks were covered and some light snow was falling, fog in the valley. It was amazing. I kept wondering "where is everyone" it was kind of surreal. This is on Efke-25 on the 8x10 and is a monochrome carbon transfer print. Images like this are very hard to control especially with all that snow in the foreground. I managed to clear almost all of the pigment and the whites are textured and clean. The image has some nice relief and tonal range. Hard to show on the web as the image looks good in the flesh. More to come from the trip.
Nicely done!!! Reminds me that southern Monterey County will be looking much the same.Quote:

First time I'm posting an image here. There are too many great landscapes so it took some time to simply dare !!
Here's a view of River Loire in Chateauneuf Sur Loire (France).
Technical details :
Tachihara 4/5 with Fujinon 75/8 SWD and Berlebach 9023.
Tri-X 320 rated at 200 and souped in HC110 (dil B)
This struck me is a very menacing image at first (in a good way!!) -- in some Tolkienesque world where the one big deciduous in the upper right is commanding the others. I love the geometry of the trees from the right and left sides. The light is just right to silhouette the trees against the ground, the contrast is really balanced well overall.Quote:

Another shot from the glacial. I really didn't make it on time so just went for a straightforward snapshot with my 210mm lens.

Beautiful work again Nicolas!
Do you mind sharing what film you used for the color shot? I've shot some sunrises on Mount Rainier that come through very similarly with Velvia 50 (particularly the warmer tones within the crevasses)
Thanks a lot Tyler. I'm using Kodak E100G 4x5 film for my color shots. It's the only one I can get locally. I develop it at home using the Tetenal 3 steps Kit and a Jobo machine.Quote:

I require myself to do it barehanded, with no tools, though. :D )Quote:

Some sweet light here . Cheers GaryQuote:

This is my first post on this forum. Canham 5x7 wood field with 4x5 back, FP4+ in HC110(B), 110_SSXL.
No clue how to imbed image in this posting ...
The large ones are probably linked rather than attached. If you look at the advanced editing window there's a little picture icon with what looks like a mountain and a yellow sky. Click that and you can put a link in to a larger photo. A lot of us use Flickr but you can put it anywhere that's publicly accessible and allows hot linking.Quote:

Tri, I hope you don't mind a little critique even though you did not specifically ask for one.
The potential for this scene is very high, and I realize that you were probably rushed to record it. What I find lacking in the image are the left and right sides of the image. Neither one strengthens the middle of the image. Cropping mid-palm on the left seems to confuse what the eye is suppose to do there (best I can figure how to describe it). The openness on the right edge seems to distract one from moving easily towards the middle. These are compositional issue I have to deal with constantly in the redwoods.
A quick crop to a square image just to demo the change in how the sides work (and I do like the square format!)
Thank you for your patience with me!
Vaughn
I like it the way it is. Yours is too sterile Vaughn. Some photos I have made a dozen times and still find something not right. Then if you look back to the first one, its not really all that bad. The point is it is Tri's photo, not yours, so reflects his vision, and working on instinct usually produces the least artificial results. It reminds me of a photo of palms in the BTZS book that I admire.
For me it is about the curving road that the leafy bits trace in the sky, the extrapolation of the road into the sky, cropping it destroys that. It makes me want to go down the road to see where it leads, and to feel the shadows falling on me.
Thank you Nicolas , I am really enjoying your mountain scenes, Particully the one with the glacier , The thing that really appeals to me is the way the jagged texture of the glacier leads you into the softness of the clouds punctuated by the peaks breaking through , Stunning!! Cheers GaryQuote:
