Large Format Landscapes

Thanks guys.

David, why limit yourself - you don't need to settle for just blondes, you can have the brunettes and red heads too :)

I exposed the same shot on Ektar and Acros as well...guess I'm just a film philanderer :D

Acros version of the shot. I find that the lack of soft green popping up out of the undergrowth removes the subtlety of the image and my eyes are just drawn right to the bridge.

All tongue in cheek. I'm lucky to have a wonderful wife that puts up with all my hobbies. :)

Thanks Tuco!

Next time in up there I'm going to map them into my itinerary for photography. My last visit (during a Labor Day week to use up unused sick time I would otherwise soon lose) was a bicycle tour with a 35mm K1000 and plenty of E-6 film that was a giant circle from SEATAC taking the ferry across Possession Sound, up Whidby Island to Acacortes, ferrying thru the San Juan Islands while camping/touring several, across to Sidney and south to Victoria where I caught the ferry across the strait to Port Angeles and from there down to Bainbridge Island where I took the Ferry across to Seattle and then south back to SEATAC. Great trip! And the rain, which threatened throughout the trip, miraculously held off until about 15 minutes before docking at Seattle where it continued for about 45 minutes more and then stopped enabling me to arrive at the airport at dusk to catch my 6am flight back! Although I had planned on camping most of the time, I ended-up staying in motels as the rooms were priced right - around the $25 range.

Thanks Austin!

I have been to Angel Island several times and led a photography Meetup group there just after to Immigration Station opened. But your post brought to mind several military structures on the island that would make excellent subjects for an alternative interpretation. The island is too big to roll the 8x10 around in a cart by hand but bicycles are allowed and I'm thinking of getting a cart of some kind that I can attach to the bike to carry the camera.

Tres bonne Luc.

Luc,

Very nice, the snow is late here in Wisconsin.

Here is one of my first landscapes with my 4x5. I brought it to Mount Fuji before I had my tripod (I was using my regular 35mm tripod). I was using some messed up Tri-X i believe that I had to unstick the sheets from each other. I just got a V700 for Christmas and this is my first scan.
