Just a thought - nice job!

Jim, that may be the best cloud print I've seen. Some may be more dramatic, but none have used the frame better than this one.

Didn’t notice it before, but I think I see it now.Quote:

And, Jim, you should float these Alberta clouds over to Ken’s “Just Clouds” thread. Beautiful!Quote:

Gentlemen,
Thank you for your kind words... :)
I captured the image you speak to, as well as a few other recent images, with a "Rodenstock K15" deep yellow filter. This filter resurfaced a few months ago, and I thought I would try it again, since it was buried for several years, and I remembered how this filter separated the clouds by just the right amount from the deeper blue sky. I place the filter over the rear element of my 210XL.
As for the marriage of two 8X10 negatives to give a broader landscape, I did that procedure earlier with a mountain scene that had minimal cloud cover, which I posted a few weeks ago, but that marriage only works well with very stationary objects, and very little cloud movement. As a side note, I could never capture two back-to-back images with roving clouds such as these and produce a decent believable landscape image, while resetting and re-levelling my 8X10 camera for the next image.
I would consume a few beers after that exercise...

Great images everyone... :)
