Harley, a splendid intimate grass scape. I sense a cloudy bright lighting situation; the kind where Velvia 50 shines.

Very nice, Fredrick.
Wonderful photographs Harley, Fredrick.
Fredrick, is that scene in Norway?
Thank you Chassis and Klocksib.
It is indeed a scene from Norway. Not far from my cabin.
Frederick, beautiful, I am coming back again to admire.. Wish I had a cabin in such fantastic place..
Thank you again. It is a really fantastic place. I still have 1 negative left to develop from this weekend. I hope it turns out good.Quote:

Outstanding, Ed!

Thank you! I sold the piece(s) to a couple who are going to put it in the dining room of their (amazing!) new home. I went over with them to the home site and took a look at the room and talked about framing and lighting. Because the wall is finished concrete, the tintypes get lost in the tones, which ruled out a frameless approach. I think they are going to put it in one BIG frame (probably plexi museum glass) floating each piece with about an eighth inch separating the plates. That's the current thinking anyway. On the opposing wall will hang a slice of a giant sequoia tree with something like 750 rings. With a custom table made from the same fallen tree. It should be a stunning room when all completed. I think Sunset Magazine is already planning a story on the house (uber energy efficient). Anyway, I'm happy they're happy.Quote:

Thanks! No, I drive a Subaru. I liked the truck there because it acts as an anchor for the bottom part of the image.Quote:

Autumn trees that still show summer green are a favorite subject of mine – color film or black and white.Quote:

This reminds me of the forest roads in many of my mountain landscapes – the roads I've traveled "to get up here." In many favorite areas, it's not always easy to exclude forest roads from the image, so composing them in an interesting way is a good skill to have.Quote:

It's a sculpture made out of crushed military airplane , it's in a forest that full of memorial sculptures .
I managed to get a 2100dpi scan from a 5x7 negative with the Scanview 11000.

Nice Cottonwood, Harley!

Wow, I think I actually enjoy the not-so-ultra-saturated look. It's really great! And that mist is incredible :)Quote:

Nice! Just one flash or many?
Keep looking at this, love that each image is its own thing, that also top and bottom could be its own panorama. Just so many things.Quote:

Thanks guys!
Jerry, I'd say 95% willpower and commitment, the other 5% is luck for the great light. I'll agree on the similarity between the two of them. The weather conditions looks to be the same as well, but the light in my image is different. I'll admit that I am a big fan of AA's work and I may have inadvertently made it similar in tones and mood, but the image represents what I felt and saw when I pressed the shutter. I'm now jealous of your original Clearing Winter Storm print. I wish that I one day can see an original AA print up close and personal.
Stay on the lookout for traveling AA displays. If they're properly illuminated, it'll make your day! I bought my print while at his 1966 workshop (the first of four). As workshop participant, we were offered 25% off his usual price, so I got it for 160 USD (that's not a typo, only one zero), together with one other 8x10 print. I never intend to sell the Clearing (although we all know: if the price is right ...). It's on the wall as a daily reminder/target of possible print quality, framed/matted as he would have. It hangs in my living room amongst my best work. When we remodeled our home, I had the walls in this room painted a middle gray to match a gray card. When guests come I frequently get a "Wow, this looks like Ansel Adams" from those who are familiar with him (most of the world is). I tell them "a couple are his." They usually say "Really? Which ones?" I say this not to boast, but merely to say that I'm coming close occasionally.Quote:
