I usually hike with my Chamonix (3.5 or maybe even 4 pounds lighter) but lately I've been using my Linhof and I think I might need to reconsider if those 4 pounds is worth the frustration I've been having with my Cham lately. Maybe I've beat it to hell and it's starting to get worn-out, but I've been having focus creep problems, alignment issues, etc. I've probably pushed 1000 sheets of film through it...
Anyway, for this shot I was precariously perched on a medium-sized rock that could just barely fit my tripod. I had to dance around the camera, careful not to slip and fall in the creek, while I focused. Then I realized my lens board was centered because I had popped my 58mm on a different board recently so I had to switch my lens board with the 150mm I had so I didn't have vignetting, while also not dropping it all in the creek! :) I am stupid yes I know :).
Still, a damn good image!Quote:

Yw, that is good fortune.
Ha, and a bit unlucky that all of the tourons decided to wear white that day...:) I'd definitely sneak back there with a second AD to tell everybody when to hunker...the blacks in the foreground are fantastic.Quote:

GA LF group, and anyone else kinda sorta close, like you, so maybe I'll ask - in the fall would be awesome. Personally I would love camping here a couple nights if they allowed it.
It's one of the most unique waterfalls in GA, with such a sheer drop. This image gives a bit more context to the number of people around early in the day. It got way worse fast. I waited till they were at least situated and not awkwardly climbing around on the rocks.
Very cool--you can tell that it's in that little patch of Cumberland Plateau there in Georgia...very much like the "amphitheaters" you find further north.Quote:

LOL
Yeah nah...
Recently I accidentally developed some color negative film as black and white. It was very dense and hard to use. I discovered last night that I could soak the negatives in Farmer's Reducer for a long time and that made the density come down to a more "normal" amount. I don't know what actually is going on here chemically but I salvaged this image and like the resultant tonality well enough.
