I definitely keep being more impressed the more I look at this one, especially since it seems to be a scene where contrast could get on the wild-and-wooly side. Did you do much special with the exposure/development?

Thanks. It was a bit hard to find a shadow to meter! The shadow at the bottom of the tree was EV 10 and the brightest highlight I could find was EV 15. I placed the shadow on Zone III. It’s FP4, and I used a yellow filter, so my exposure was at ei 50, instead of 100. Although a lot of people would have just done N, I gave it N-1 development, which for me is Pyrocat 1:1:100 for 9 minutes with 15 seconds agitation at first and 10 seconds every minute, hand inversions in a JOBO tank.

Excellent, thanks for elaborating--leaf litter for some reason gives me fits, but everything here just lays-in nicely.:)

Like Peter!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nice. Can't wait to try the E100.

Hi Dave
I know this wood fairly well, it's approx 3 miles from me, you've made a very interesting image on what was clearly yet another grey Middle England day...............

(slight vignette removed by a slight crop, but only because I have two filter slots on the wide-angle hood - should perhaps remove one since rarely/never use multiple filters with B&W).

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Excellent: you must be pretty near me then.
Overall v pleased with both. I actually underdeveloped both since the temperature was lower than I'd planned for, but knew they'd be fine for a scan.
