Yes! I'm on the lee side of a ridge with a tearing gale over the top. The only things not waving about are the distant mountains, the spindly white branches, and the grass at my feet. Having carried the 8x10 up a mountain I had to photograph something.Quote:

I've spent three days scrolling through the 1000+ pages of this thread, totally amazed at some of these images. It's been a long break from LF for me, and I'm overdue for some new adventures, so I'll be heading out to Grand Lake and Winter Park in a couple of weeks with the Speed Graphic, a couple new lenses (Rodenstock 75mm f4.5 and a Fujinon 210mm f5.6) and a bunch of film, some long expired Velvia 50, some Ektar 100 and Ilford FP4+. I'll do my best to keep up with the amazing work in here and report soon with photos of the Great Divide. Cheers!
Jim
looking forward to your work and welcome to LFPF.
Thanks Steve!
Went out shooting last weekend and spent yesterday souping the negs. Got two shots out of the whole day that were semi-worthwhile. We won't discuss how many exposures I actually made.
Both with a Horseman L45, on TMAX 400. The cliff is near Waterbury, VT and the falls are just south of Waitsfield.

New time poster to this thread and i've spent weeks sifting though the images here and there are some absolute pearlers and very talented photographers here!
I couldve quoted dozens of images over the history of this thread, and it has helped me have a new appreciate of what some of you have been able to do with Black and White film.
Also, im new to large format photography and all that it entails. I've recently taken a few photos and theres still room for improvement. Some of my shots were exposed incorrectly, others showed some minor light leaks from the film holders, and some showed blur likely as a result of the tripod sinking slightly in the soft sand (or possibly the ball head not lock firmly enough).
With all that said, I did manage to get a couple of successful photos, heres one I took at Sorrento, VIC (Australia) of the London Bridge.
Spot metered to a reading of about 8secs, I added some reciprocity failure time but not sure that it was necessary as the image was overexposed (probably by about a stop). But through silverfast and photoshop I was able to recover the highlights and get this result. CC is welcome.

Alen - this is a spectacular image that I have been staring at for a few minutes. Breathtaking scene and light that you captured so well. Love the sharpness and the vibrancy of the image.
Looking forward to the other successful photos you made so please share them!
Best, Pali
Yes, that is pretty nice. Very "other-worldly" with those colors.
Here's a photo from this weekend. Taken @ Lake Lanier in north GA.

Very difficult to start composing, let alone focusing during blue hour and your always making fine adjustments as the light gets better.
