Well seen. I like the partial reflection. When I first read the image info I thought I read Megatron for the lens...I got a kick out of that.

Thanks. That would be quite a lens name! :)

I went on a bike ride in the mountains yesterday and had my camera along for the ride. It JUST fits in my hard panniers with all the other gear. The weather was turning pretty bad with a supercell starting to form right above me, so I found a spot on the edge of a cliff and set up my camera for a shot.

I was using some old T-Max 400 (tmy2) I bought off ebay and this was my first time using Pyrocat MC with it, so the negatives were pretty thick (14 minutes with 5 inversions every 4 minutes), so I need to drop the time down some.

Shot on my Zone VI 4x5 with a Fujinon W 125mm F5.6 lens and using a 2 stop graduated ND filter. Shot on some pretty fogged TMax 400 and developed in Pyrocat MC for 14 minutes.

Colo CJ, glad to see you posted another photo. Excellent. I like it.

Speedfreak, you are very observant. There is a road in the intermediate distance and I deliberately positioned myself to exclude it, because I didn't think it added anything to the scene. Thanks for the feedback.

And on x-ray film no less! Bravo on all the shots!

I like the placidity of the scene in this one. There is definitely something quite peaceful about it.

Karl

Thanks for that. I like it for the same reason.

Thanks David.

Yeah, its been a while. I need to make it a point to get into the mountains on a more regular basis. The mountains are right out my back door (Rocky Mountain National Park is a 30 minute drive up the canyon), but a busy life gets in the way some times.
