Re: Large Format Landscapes
Really nice, as usual!
What grad filters are you using? I need to invest in some better ones, and a nicer holder and adapter setup for my LF lenses.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks Bryan
I'm using a B+W MRC Circular Polarizer and for the grads I usually use Singh-Ray 3 stop hard grad filter or a Singh-Ray 3 stop reverse split grad filter. In most of my scenes I like to use two grad filters, one for the sky and then with the second grad I like to mount it upside down for the foreground so I can center the light on the subject in the middle (especially for panoramics.)

Sensational shot.. I love RVP50 on green hills with a CPL... Just beautiful.. A very nicely rendered scene.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks Alex... I have a tough time nailing Velvia but when I do get the shot right its always well worth it!

If you want to go in winter and want to get close to any falls (or in general), I would recommend picking up some of those quick strap-on crampons that will go onto any boot with rubber band-like straps. It can be icy and dicey there in winter. I tried to walk to the bottom of Bridalveil one winter without them and almost broke my neck (well, more like my ass). Good insurance for mobility.

Thanks Harley. I will need to get some snow chain too!!
Re: Large Format Landscapes
I haven't shot color film in ages. Last time was probably in 2007, when I shot 100+ rolls of Provia/Sensia with the XPan. Looks like Provia 120 is also pretty good too:

True story: on my way home, I dropped by Yosemite (and any time you can say, "I dropped by Yosemite on my way home," it has to be a great day) and heading toward the Village, I passed this rock. I tuned around and found a spot to park. While I was setting up my tripod, a car pulled over on the other side, and a guy came out with his tripod.
He then literally plopped his tripod 3 feet next to mine.
While thinking "You gotta kiddin' me," but being a friendly Californian, I said, "Hi!"
He probably didn't hear me, as he was looking at the scene, and he picked up his tripod, and walked some distance down...
What a critic. Didn't like my spot, I guess.
My theory is that my spot is perfect for a panoramic shot, but not so much for a 35mm image. That's my story, to preserve my ego, and I am sticking with it.
