This one has some issues but I love the tones in the sky and the texture in the shadows (and the ewe and her lamb). 5x7 HP5, Semi standing Pyrocat P in a black fim bag with a home made light trap (still working it out), very nice Fujinar 210mm f4.5 tessar.

Thanks for the feedback. White Sands is almost infrared looking with normal film.
Amazing posts lately, If you guys don't mind I'd like to share a shot I took a couple of days ago. It's a small desert rabbit path between rocks around an ancient volcano.
Shot during sunset on Tmax100 and a 90mm lens.

I have shot landscape with 35mm, 2 1/4, 6x9 and 4x5 and there is something about shooting with a 4x5 that is particularly satisfying. I believe it is the act of composing and focusing the in the camera ground glass that can give you that feeling of painting like an artist. I can and have had that feeling with smaller formats, but I definitely feel it more when shooting the large format. I may wait for the light, get a better sense of the shot, maybe move the camera, and definitely I shoot less. Do you have to have a 4x5 to shoot landscape? Of course not, but it sometimes feels like you do.
