On the left side of the picture you can see the saddle (between the two rounded knobs) I hiked over to get here from Lee and Middle Fork Lake.
The second picture is Squaretop from Lower Green River Lake, shot with a 300mm on Delta 100. I came out of the above backpack just in time. The monsoon arrived the next day and didn't let up for at least a week. I made the trip from the campground to this spot each sunrise for three days, hoping for a nice shot. This is from the second morning. On the third day, the fog was so heavy I could barely see the road. The parking lot (mostly backpackers and horse trains) was almost full on the first day, and quite sparse on the last.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
I spent the better part of a day over my anniversary weekend at the Grand Canyon a couple of weeks ago, trying to shoot during the worst time of the day (10am - 4pm) and with a cloudless blue sky. I took it as a challenge to find landscapes that avoided the sky and offered some variation in color and tone to at least make the photo interesting.
This shot is on 4x5 Portra 160 with a Nikkor 300mm lens. The color negative was scanned as a positive with all color correction turned off and then converted with the Color Perfect plug-in using the Portra 160 film setting. No other curves or color corrections were made. Amazingly, of all the shots I've made on color film (almost all transparency), this is the most accurate representation of the colors of the Grand Canyon that I think I've ever shot. Granted, the shot is no piece of art and as all of us do, I shoot almost always during the sunrise and sunset hours, but I'm amazed that the conversion filter did such a good job. I've only used it a few times now and in almost all cases, it has surprised me.
