Re: Large Format Landscapes
One from french Jura taken on the last day of my business trip - just before heading home to Germany. I found a few hours to visit a smaller ski centrum close to where our experiment is located. I had no skis so I just walked - made a lot of people wondering what is that guy with a big backpack doing there :-)
I used Tachi with Osaka 400/8 and Fuji Pro160s. I also used recently acquired lens hood just to find out that it vignettes in the very corners. Given the weather (hazy) a BW film with orange or red filter would have been a better solution. Scanned with microtek F1.
I just wanted to get the view of the distant Alps when these few skiers appeared - apparently waiting for the rest of the group. I think they improved my composition a lot.

You did a great job with the snow. There's such a fine line between getting the tone right but losing the texture and vice versa. Also an excellent composition I think and I agree, the skiers make it a very different but to me more interesting photograph than it would have been without them. I don't know why things like that don't happen to me. If I had been making the photograph a big old snow plow would have driven over the ridge, messed up the snow, and then parked. : - )

Ditto what Brian said. You've transformed this shot from just yet another technically perfect picture postcard like shot to one that creates a human interest aspect to a beautiful natural backdrop.
Your tonal palette is super!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Just starting to post process negatives from my April vacation. This is the 1st and while its just a snappy, Im glad that the wind (gusts to 60mph) and clouds blew in to reduce the haze. Having lived in AZ for 2 years a while back, I never had the time to make it to the canyon.
