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.

Forgive the repost from the spring, but I finally got these plates "professionally" shot (to eliminate glare reflection) and stitched together in PS. Eight 16x20 tintypes.

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.

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

Autumn trees that still show summer green are a favorite subject of mine – color film or black and white.
The competing colors add a nice tension to the surrounding stillness.
Looks like the smaller plants show the same process of change...

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.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Yef,
A super image with great tones. However, while I can see the subject consists of airplane parts, I would like to know if it is a crash site, a sculpture, or what? It sure grabbed my attention!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
It's a sculpture made out of crushed military airplane , it's in a forest that full of memorial sculptures .

That's great use of a fog machine, Stone.
Nice shot, Preston. I like!

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.

Everyone should move to Norway. But you'll break your neck from turning your head every few feet! It's a neg scan, looking forward to contact printing it. Perhaps I'll have to rent 8x10 enlarge and enlarge it too. Thanks again.

Luck has little to do with it ... right, Fredrick? One has to get off one's arse and go get it, whether it's cold or not. Lovely scenic.
Nice work. I couldn't help notice the tones and mood are very similar to my original AA 16x20 print of Clearing Winter Storm, Yosemite N.P.
-
Re: Large Format Landscapes
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.

Nice use of the Wista - I really should get my Tachi' (which I think is the same as yours Wista) out into the country.. Until now it had only seem some architecture.
(And I do agree with the others, the most important thing is to get out and start "working"...)

Thanks! I wouldn't mind an invasion of LF photographers, I could probably learn a lot :) I believe they are the same yes, I enjoy my Wista very much so far.
I've recently found a norwegian half-dome as well, in a valley. This valley also has a river. The main difference between this valley and Yosemite is the power lines and houses. I wish they were not there.
I'm sorry about the dust, but I'm too lazy to remove it from the scanner surface. It's like it's snowing dust in the scanner room.

You're exposure is really great in these, question, what film/dev if I might ask? And how do you choose to meter?

I used Ilford delta 100 rated at iso 50 and Ilford ilfotec hc 1:31 for 3 minutes and 35 seconds - N-1 development. I don't remember exactly how I metered, but I use the zone system. I think I rated the dark wood areas at zone 3.

Thanks! Well done. Ilfotec Hc, is that ilfords HC-110 equivalent?

Yes, I think it is. It's the same syrup thing atleast. I haven't been around the film and development game that long, I was born into the digital era ... Somebody else probably will probably have better knowledge than me.
