BetterSense and Austin, thanks. Vaughn, thanks again.
Austin, I grew up in west Marin, where I know you've spent some time. Sometimes I long for home now that I live in the east bay, but I feel lucky to at least have Briones right here.
David & Luc, thanks, its definitely a mesmerizing place.
Luc I actually do print on a natural cotton rag paper that is slightly warm tone, so if you are ever in the KC area drop me an e-mail and I'll show it to you.
And Austin its only a shoooooooooooooort drive from Portland and I think there's a couple interesting things on the way. lol Don't forget to stop at Wall Drug.

This grassy area is just a short distance to the west, maybe 5 to 10 miles from the first one I posted.
The scale of this place is immense and beautiful. Its one of those places that will remind you what a big thing we are part of.

I haven't shot large format in two years (and not much before that) but I'm trying to get back into it. It's like learning everything anew.*

Badlands on some BLM land used for overflow camping at Chaco Culture National Historic Park.
This place was incredible we camped there for a week and saw no other people. These formation
cannot be seen from the road at all and you would think driving through is was all sage brush cow pasture.
When we turned off the gravel road onto the dirt path at the tiny little marker sign the ranger told us about
and we drove right up to the edge of this and about crapped our drawers. We thought we were going to be in
the middle of a cow pasture. Needless to say we spent most of trip right here barely made it back down to the
historic park.

G'day, Brian! Lovely photo! You split the frame right in half with the horizon line -- a "rule" that you most wonderfully broke!
Nice shot, Brian!
You heading to Cape Schank?
Definitly very nice.Quote:

Great place I would suggest taking a look at the surrounding areas on google maps satellite view and make note of where the interesting places are in relation to the roads. When you are driving the roads are all up on the tops of the plateaus and you can't even tell you are driving only a few hundred yards from the surface of Mars. Oh and bring a jacket it sleeted on us in June.Quote:

@Sam: thanks! :-)
@J Hoff: Around here? http://maps.google.com/maps?q=48.447...=UTF8&t=m&z=15
I guess they would be even cheaper!
BTW, they have funny street names: "Dorf 11" is like "Village" with house number 11
Best,
This shot is from Providence Canyon, GA. Due to poor farming techniques, these canyons were artificially created. The landscape here looks nothing like the rest of GA, it's quite interesting. For some strange reason I lugged my 8x10 camera all over the park, but only took two shots. Here's the first, taken with my Kodak Century Universal, a 210mm Graphic Kowa lens (thanks Zach!), on Ilford HP5+. I think I shot it at f/64 and 1/30 or something like that:

Comments welcome.
And the second image, taken with a Nikkor 120mm f/8 lens:

Who needs more than two such exposures! Well done! VaughnQuote:

Yeah I'm not really sure how it happened, but it was erosion caused by farming. More info can be found here: http://www.gastateparks.org/ProvidenceCanyon

I posted a version of this shot on Provia awhile back. I was never entirely happy with it, so I started working on an Ektar exposure of the same shot. I'm much more pleased with it.

Gone hiking yesterday. There is still so much snow everywhere. I think that this hiking season in BC is going to start very late.

We made it to the ridge going to the summit but turned back afterward as the trail is steep and very tiring in the snow.
