Wow I'm surprised at the Velvia50 actually, it's greens are saturated but the rocks are strange, must be the long exposure shadow purple/blue creeping up?Quote:

Hi Stone. Thanks for the comments.
The Old Velvia shift due to reciprocity is to a slight magenta which normally requires a warming filter which I did not use here. The rock colors are accurate but for that shift which can be exacerbated by any blue sky tones reflected on the scene. This was a post sunset shot, which at F32 required a calculated exposure of 1 minute and adding for reciprocity, brought it close to 2 minutes total. For years I used this technique to reduce contrast in certain images but only when the wind was completely dead.
The entire Sourland area is a real challenge to photograph with the 4x5 and I am pleased to say that I did come away with a few keepers.

Thanks for explaining, helps with my own Velvia quests.Quote:

Velvia50 maybe 1/2 at f/22 circular polarizer on maximum. (It's not foggy at the edges I just scanned it in the protective sleeve so that's why it's off color toward the edges).

Thanks, this is not Spain though, this is the state of Maine, in the United States. It is a National Park named Acadia. The government has sanctioned certain sites as national parts and limits building on those areas to preserve nature. It's nice but because they become tourist areas even the park service people have built roads and buildings that can get in the way of the natural beauty, but at least they exist and we can enjoy them.Quote:

Maybe I never will go to that National Park :-(
Why not? It's BEAUTIFUL! Just can have some tourists at times.Quote:

However, I had a gig up in Athens so I stayed the weekend and took some time photographing out at Don Carter State Park, the newest state park in GA.
Here's an image from the first roll, taken with a Shen-Hao 6x17 with my Nikkor 90mm f/8 on Pan F+ and developed in Rodinal semi-stand. Happy to finally be using this camera. Since buying it in December I have been exceedingly overworked with 60+ hour weeks and barely anytime for photography :(.
