Thanks Alex!
giganova, I like that second one. If you don't mind me saying so, it does seem heavily underexposed though.
A sheet from yesterday - at the base of Bearden Falls. This is a lesser-known waterfall that is somewhat difficult to get to. I'll have to return in the fall/winter when there's less growth to see the top better.

LOL, well the last part of the trail up to the falls you can see in the trees is about an 80-90% grade, so not sure about that one.
Since I've been trying to make larger enlargements for festivals, 4x5 is my go-to format, since I can only do 8x10 contact prints until I finally get that enlarger built. But I don't have room for it at the moment.

The negative is fine, it's my endless frustration with Photoshop: looks perfect in Photoshop (16-bit monochrome TIF file), but when I export it, it is 2-stops too dark. Exporting to web with embedded color profile doesn't help. Heck, even when I open the TIF file (which looks perfect in Photoshop) with the Finder, it looks way too dark.
Use sRGB and you'll be a lot less frustrated. Unless you have a meticulous understanding of your color workflow, any other color space is a waste of your time.
Two more from the same wintery trip to Snowdonia National Park, Wales, UK, this February.
1) Rhinog Fach from Foel Wen: a day that threatened snow all day but never actually delivered the white stuff, but only lovely winter light and snowy tops.

I'm impressed how in focus those rocks are given the aperture and focal length.
