Beautiful, John. The blue creates an excellent mood to go with the stark tree and smoke or fog.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Kirk, r, Roger, Harley, David - Thank you.
The image contains an accident - I was using a new to me camera that requires the back tilt knobs to be tighter then I'm used to, and when I inserted the holder the back tilted forward a bit. As a result the very top of the tree and the bottom half of the trunk are out of focus. Thankfully the final result looks intentional. Still, I wish I'd refocused and exposed another sheet to compare, but at the time I thought the back had moved while I was tearing down rather then setting up. It's driving me a little crazy knowing it wasn't what I intended, even if it does work.

Don't let it bother you too much. I tend to think the atmosphere in this would hide any slight variations in focus.
Don't beat yourself up, it's bad-ass!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Wasn't sure I could save this image or not, I missed the exposure. Although I was happy that I got anything.
I pulled off the road just as the sun was setting...
After setting up, I had to run back to the car for a wider lens,
Next, I forgot the film holder, again I run back to the car, wife is really puzzled why I was running back an forth to the car...
Great, after I was all set up... I caught my foot on the tripod and had to remove film holder to re-frame...

If by that you mean it's underexposed, I rather like it. Nice mood. I think you saved it.
And you're not the only one who has to keep running back to the car and whose wife looks at him quizzically. It seems the farther away I am from the car the more things I keep forgetting.

I would also agree, real fine mood and nice light. Well worth the running back and forth. Real nice image.
Doesn't it seem you only kick the tripod when time is of the essence?

Very rich, dramatic, and likeable! This is why we like film.

I whipped onto the side of the road, opened up the car, grabbed the camera thinking I could get up to the spot quicker setup and shoot with all the gear in my hands. My wife helped me and I thought I had made it, then of course I had to keep running back an forth.... geeeezzzz
I guess looking back, this is why I really like LF sharing a good chuckle around friends once and a while, I won't forget taking this foto!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
John,
To my eye, the slightly oof tree top seems naturally grouped with the vaguely defined background trees. It may be a serendipitous occurrence that it happened like that. Quite a photo by the way, unquestionably beautiful.

You can see both the set up and the image.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks David. My original intent was to shoot the tree with a very shallow DOF, so the final result is still close to my original intent, with the exception of the tip. I think your serendipitous comment is accurate; I just printed out a 17x22 and having the center of the branch section of the tree in sharp focus gives the impression that it's reaching up out of the murky depths of some other world. Additionally, I'm damn lucky the accidental back movement didn't throw the most critical part of the image out of focus.

Nana, your images never cease to amaze me. 90% of my LF images are shot with 120mm on 4x5", so I would have seen completely different images at the scene. But yours are absolutely spectacular!
