This image was made off the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire in Autumn with my 150mm Rodenstock Apo Sironar N lens and 4X5 Fuji Velvia 50 film cropped to a square image. The water can take on a nice copper color here. The area has a rugged quality to it which hopefully is visible in this scan of the image.
Shooting with Plus-X that expired in 1978. No base fog!

And the 150 is one wonderfully sharp lens with nice coverage for using movements. The first one was taken in Longs Canyon which is outside of Capitol Reef National Park, the next two were taken in Capitol Reef which has some of the most interesting rock walls.
Thank you for your kind words DennisQuote:

The other 2 pics has "that" light falling over "those" walls, really a classic beauty color warmth we learned to love in the US wilderness.
John,
Well seen, I like the fluid motion in the water and on the color's transitions,
Thank you RSalles, Fuji Velvia 50 is great for this type of image. I have been shooting more black and white since that film has become more difficult to buy.
Very cool that the film still worked out! Nice shot. Looks like more McMansions are headed that way soon...Quote:

The waving branch in the upper left corner is a nice counterpoint to the sharp focus for everything else.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.
Congrats, Alen, a 3D shot, plenty of film colors, very well framed BTW,
Cheers,

koraks
for your kind words. It's enough to keep me lugging big cameras up steep mountains.
I know what you mean (less the steep mountains, we don't have any here). Plus (and primarily) the satisfaction of admiring the finished print as it has just dried, right? ;)
Yea, verily!Quote:

I spent one night near Glencoe on my way to Ullapool, about 3 weeks ago. A bit of a gamble hoping for that one sunrise to work out, but the weather cooperated beautifully. A clear and frosty night had put some ice on the water and turn the grass nice and crisp (with icicles hanging on the banks). I had spent 9 days there 3 years ago in the same time of year, but it was so grey and bland back then that it took this one morning to see why some of these locations are so famous.
I have it on Velvia as well, but haven't developed those yet. But however that turns out, I think this one will stand its ground anyway.
I still find a sentence full of hashtags hard to comprehend. I'm probably just old.Quote:
