Wow. That is very well done.

Nice shot!

This was a 5 second exposure on Fomapan 100 8x10 film with a 2-stop soft grad to hold down the sky. Camera used was the Chamonix Alpinist X with a 240mm lens.

The film was home developed in Rodinal 1+50 dilution and scanned on a flatbed.

Wow, thanks guys, I'm truly overwhelmed with the positive comments! :o

Another Grand Canyon Toroweep Sunrise. The sky is just not cooperating (it's actually pissing me off). I have two versions of this image, decidedly both are giving me fits, but I thought I would post this one. I am gonna redo using a different scan method with the Howtek. One thing for sure is I need a center filter for the 75mm and 90mm. The vignetting is horrendous and is ruining the skies at sunrise and sunset.

Grand Canyon North Toroweep Sunrise. 75mm Nikkor f/4.5@f/32, Portra 160. Manual dodging with dark slide

And quite rightly so. I've seen it come by on a few different platforms and enjoyed it every time.

Still a great effort. I'm sure it can be salvaged. But it is annoying to have to spend time on it when you can easily avoid it in the field.
