A lonely tree in an oasis over the Limay River in the Patagonian desert. Walk away from the river and you are in a reign of fire in a sunny summer day.

It reminds me very much of Salinas River over here. Beautiful negative. :)

I have to say that I love winter scenes, when everything is covered with snow... the landscape suddenly looks so clean, so calm sleeping under the white duvet....

Nana you must have a tank for a tripod. No shake at all from the outgoing waves!
Nice work as usual. :D

Re: Large Format Landscapes
The first one in particular is outstanding, Nana. The wave pattern looks a little like a treble clef.
May I ask what you're rating the Fomapan at?

As to the tripod, not at all, Sam, it's a wooden Berlebach 8043 Report. Those photos doesn't show reality, at all...I never had more than about 8" of water around my legs.

I'm sorry but my english is not so good, I don't know what is a "treble clef".
I've been rating it at 50 asa but, yesterday, I tried 64 asa, on these photos, I think I will go back to 50 asa, because the dark areas, which I aligned with Zone III, actually ended more on Zone II than III.
I'm still doing tests with this film, I didn't find yet the right combination Sensibility/Developer/Time.
This is a very cheap film, that's why I keep testing it, but, I use it for almost 2 years and still don't "know" him very well.
It has a major problem for landscape work, it has a tremendous reciprocity failure....:mad:
It tends to "block" the shadows, too, but, it has very nice middle tones.

On a close note, I usually expose Fomapan 100 @ EI 64, but recently, quite a lot of my images are overexposed by 1 EV, and a little shorter development is used (though I have reached my times by guess-work)... So it might be also something like @ EI 50 in reality...

Jiri, if you are rating it at 64 asa and they get overexposed by 1 EV then, you should rate it at 125 asa to get it right. Or am I wrong?

Horse Shoe Bend, AZ

Re: Large Format Landscapes
#1 is a stunning photo; number 2 would be as well ecept for the excessive magenta.

Thanks for you input Michael. One gets "tunnel vision" after staring at screen for a few hours :-)
How's this?

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Beautiful indeed.
I would still go into the distant mountain range, isolate that area and reduce the blue saturation a considerable amount. Normal to have blues in the distance, although the eye doesn't se it that way when we're out there.
Two winners now!!

Actually, calling it the treble clef is appropriate only when the curly marking wraps around the second line of the staff. The general term in English is "G clef", which is an exact translation of clave de sol. We wouldn't want to confuse the treble clef with the French violin clef, now would we?
On the subject of your photos, I have GOT to make a point-n-shoot camera for my spare 65/8 Super Angulon. It must be somewhat liberating to have a camera that does the one thing you want to do really easily. I see you spending very little time fiddling with the camera to make photos that seem so undistracted.

Thank you for the explanation, Rick.
As to the camera, I think there is someone here who made a P&S camera with a SA 65/8, I don't remember who nut, you should check it on the thread called "Show us your home made camera. I sarted that thread, I think. I got some good ideas from there. You can find some nice home made cameras here, too:
http://home.online.no/~gjon/camerabuilders.htm
My camera is really fast to operate, it fixed focus ans has an external viewfinder, wich is very fast to compose. Sometimes, I run between waves, put the tripod, compose, shoot and run back just in time to keep dry. I couldn't do that if I had to look by the GG and confirm focus with a lupe.

Thanks for the link--I remember that thread well. I keep that 65/8 lens just for such a project, but I keep getting distracted.
I know a Brazilian who lives in Sao Paulo who built a 4x5 box camera using the 47XL. He used a helical bought off ebay. I bought my 47/5.6 from him--I use that as my ultrawide for 6x12. Come to think of it, an ultrawide 6x12 point-n-shoot would be even easier, and I have a spare Shen-Hao roll-film holder. Hmmmm.
