It's a beautiful view and photo. Nice work with the exposure too!

The scene is in northwest Wyoming, USA, looking into Grand Teton National Park from within the Jedediah Smith Wilderness, Targhee National Forest, February 24, 2015. Ten minutes after taking the picture, the storm clouds obscured everything.

Imaged on 4 by 5 Ilford FP4+, using a 135 mm Wide Field Ektar at f22, with no movements. Printed on Ilford MG IV RC deluxe glossy paper, in Dektol 1:2. No dodging or burning-in. It's a working print, but I have no firm plans to do much else with it.

Comments and critique welcome.

Nice Maris, I like how the space on right invites the viewer to squeeze around and follow the curved wall.

Oh yes, that space is historic. Ravenswood is a old boom-bust gold mining town that is now reduced to a half a dozen widely spaced buildings. If the gold had held out the church would have had a magnificent wall all the way around.

that paper-bark tree is killer, Maris. Beautiful work (again).

Thanks HiHoSilver. A 121mm lens on 8x10 sure dramatises subject matter that is visually dramatic to start with!

Re: Large Format Landscapes

Perhaps a companion photo with the gate open to see if there is a different feeling. Maybe one of welcoming.

Very nice! I really like those colors too! I don't know why I can't get anything I like from Ektar. I've tried in all 3 formats I've shot and not one image I like from it still. Very well done.

Try scanning it as positive and converting + adjusting in PS. Should give you plenty of flexibility for interpretations of colors and tones
