The Velvia sure did punch some color into it.

You are probably right.

More exposure would have made a very different and no doubt more realistic image, but I'm not sure I'd have liked it better, just different.
I tried to get the pools reflecting the light to show up and show some color. I think the digital renditions with more detail were more what I had in mind. But I agree, the sky overexposing to get detail in the shadows here would probably not be what I wanted.

Thanks for the kind comments.

The rock is darker than it would appear to the eye, mainly because the exposure places the sunlight and shadows on the snow within a 2 stop range of N, and hence the darker tones fall between zones II and III. The rock could have been rendered more naturally by using N-1 development, but I try wherever possible to use N development in order not to compress the tonal range. In this case, such compression would have compromised what I was most interested in - ie the play of sunlight and cloud shadow on the snow.

An outstanding image, Struan.

The highway past the base of Mt. Washington, NV. I'm obviously set up in the middle of the highway here, and was seriously concerned that I'd be creamed by a truck while I had my head stuck under the dark cloth. Only in the NV desert would I even have risked it.

Really, really nice Bradley.

Thanks, Bryan. A bit over-sharpened by the Flickr machine, but I like the evening light.

Wheeler Peak, taken in high winds and rapidly changing light.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Still going through the slow process of developing and scanning while holding a (very) full time job :)
Another take on the same spot than posted previously.
Chamonix 45-N2 Fujinon 125/5.6 FP4+ Pyrocat MC

lbenac, wow, I love both of your recent posts from Banff! Beautiful work! I particularly like the Big Beehive. I was there Canada Day weekend, but didn't produce anything myself. I'm completely jealous. :)
I finally scanned the negative from a shot I made just outside Zion back in May. I originally made a contact print I really liked, but I seemed to have gotten a drip of water on it that kind of ruined it. Oh well.

Tachihara 4x5, Caltar 210 f/6.1, Ilford FP4+, HC110(b) (I think I'm abandoning HC110, and will try D23 next).

I can certainly return the compliment. It looks like we both have similar taste as far as mountain and clouds are concerned :D Now I would love to do a few days photo trip in Utah or in New Mexico. But don't ell my wife...
