Wow Jim,....yer killin it...straight out of the park. Love the saturated colors. No doubt these would render as superb enlargements.

Jim,

The Grasses and Trees image is exceptional. Great mood and design. I often picture a scene with a different FL and I wonder how a 150mm Nikkor SW would have faired or even a 180 though frankly I am not aware of one which adequately covers 8x10. Maybe Rodenstock APO S series, but not sure.

Great work.

Jim, both of these images are just spectacular! Can't stop staring at them both only wishing that you had shared a higher resolution version for us. I bet the detail is unreal in the originals. Lovely - just lovely!

Here are two images from a spring backpacking trip in 2015. Both were shot with an Ebony RW810 using my Nikkor 300mm 5.6 lens. The first photo was taken on Velvia 50, and the second was taken on Ektar 100.

Ben,

Like both of them. Have you ever thought of trying to get in there in the fall when the cottonwoods are turning? That would certainly be interesting. It was nice running into you and talking with you again in Zion. How did Death Valley treat you? Jim

Re: Large Format Landscapes

Thanks for the comments. I think I have more fun with photographing the previous type of images, more intimate and compelling to me. Here are a couple more from Bryce, an area I struggle to photograph. I am usually passing thorough the area going from Capitol Reef to Zion or vice versa, but try to stop for an evening/morning to photograph. I generally struggle there. Both images with my Ebony 8x10 and on Velvia 50 I believe. The first image is the icon Thor's Hammer and second is an image from Fairyland Point. I tend to like the back lighting and reflected light that happens in the morning. The first is with a Fuji 300 5.6 and the second with my Nikkor 450.
