Graham,
I like both of them ... perhaps the second one a little bit more ... we have been there, too!
A lovely place!

Yes that’s how I work too, photography is and has to stay intuitive I think, but one can still speculate about why it worked out so well. I never saw such a sharp positive from a color negative btw.Quote:

I read around a lot about getting the best from a scanner. So, I scan at 6400 dpi and then scale back by a factor of 3 in the raw scan. To be honest I'm not sure of the reasons behind that, some years back that I read about it. I have a good tripod with speared feet and good head to hold the camera - sure that helps immensely.Quote:

This photo nearly didn't happen. I had been wandering around after taking another photo and, as was my custom, left the camera on the tripod with the lot slung over my shoulder.
When I saw this image I set everything up then went to open the shutter to compose the image on the ground glass...no cable release (my super-angulon has an old shutter that requires the shutter to be set to B and held open with the cable release).
I retraced my steps for what must have been about 15 minutes but to no avail. The cable release was nowhere to be seen. Needless to say I was upset but chalked it up to experience and resolved to carry a spare in future.
I packed up the equipment, folded the tripod, shouldered my backpack, bent over to pick up my jacket, and there it was. The release was in a small crack quite literally under my feet.
Naturally by now the sun was higher than when I first saw the shot but with the cloud it didn't really matter although the brightness range is quite extreme with 1200% extra exposure required in some parts of the sky.

Good one, GRAYnomad.
