This a great thread. Inspiring images in here. I´ll share one I made recently.
Tree in fog. Tropical high altitude cloud forest in Colombia at 3400 mts. above sea level.

Great images everyone... :)

Nana,
Bloody hell. I give up. Anyone wanna buy my cameras?
Rick "who has also offered his tubas for sale after hearing real masters" Denney
p.s., no, neither the camera nor the tubas are for sale. But they should be.
Ahahahah...
Rick, there is nothing special on that photo, I simply closed the lens to f64, polarizer+red filter to get a long exposure time (7m) to get fluidity on water and sky.
There were some guys surfing but, due to 7 minutes exposure they were not "visible".
Like I said before (actually, who said that was mr. Adams) pre-visualization it's one of the most important things to do in landscape photography.
I made this photo 2 weeks ago, in north Portugal. This is a very old village called Penha Garcia.
Near this village, there is another one called Monsanto wich is one of the most interesting villages in Portugal. I've been there doing some photos for a comercial work, almost everything I did was with digital and medium format cameras, this photo is one of just two 4x5 images I did these 4 days (the other one is the same image, made seconds after this one).
I will be back to this place in september or october and, then, I will shoot much more with 4x5 camera.

Nana. How did you meter the exposure (the 7min one of rocks etc)?
I used a "digital" spotmeter, a Fuji 6900Z, to read the light on the black rounded rocks near me and aligned them with Zone III. The light was very low, it was sunset. As the sky was full of clouds, the contrast was ok, no need for N- development.
Then, I gave a compensation time because of reciprocity failure, wich gave me the indication of a 7 minutes exposure. I don't remember exactly what was the time indicated by the lightmeter but, I think it was about 2 minutes.
At that time (these were my first photos after studying the Zone System) I didn't know there were different reactions of highlight and shadows to reciprocity failure, the failure is much more evident in shadows than in highlights.
As a result, this negative has high density on highlights (I should give about 20% less developing time) but it's printable, I've made 11x14" and 16x20" enlargements of it, with contrast grade 1.
However, I know it is not quite good, I must try again to enlarge it, now, I know a bit more that I knew at that time (7 years ago).;)
