Super high contrast scene. Stand developing did me a lot of favors here.

I think I'm going to avoid shooting into the sun for a while. Wind/snow/ice was brutal. My pants legs got wet and froze stiff. I really need to stop chasing light. I should have a shot in mind prior and then wait for the light.

Rocky Mountain National Park.

Absolutely stand helps compensate, so does temperaure. Take some full sun photos and stand develop as normal in 1/2 refrigerated water 1/2 room temp
nice photo!

Wow! What is that?? It's awesome! I also love the tree on the left, would love to see that as its own image as well.

C-41 film?

Gamble barn in Dryden Ontario.

Photo taken with a Toyo 810G using Ilford Delta 100 b&w film.

The lighting was fairly flat at the time, partly overcast sky and -6C. Still a little chilly to be handling metal with bare hands for very long.

The film was tray developed in HC-110 dilution 'B' for 7 mins, 15 seconds at 17.5 C.

Not happy with the resulting scan - not sure if the problem is purely a developing or scanning issue. I do see some developing issues but for the life of me, I can't get a good scan (Epson V700).

First time Ive used 8x10 film in this camera, and first time I believe that I have used Delta 100.

Thanks - seriously not happy with the resulting scan lol. I uploaded it to my web site, the trees look terrible.even on this site with my screen they dont look great.

First time ive loaded 8x10 film in this camera - i.will.not.give.up! Im bound and determined to shot lots of (sheet) film this summer! If it ever gets here - shot this today. Im not happy with the sky - and i rarely am. not sure if its how i develop or agitate or what but im rarely happy with my skies.

I need to make myself a checklist as to what I need to take with me - I forgot my loupe.

D'oh.

Re: Large Format Landscapes

What bothers you about the trees... shadow detail... local contrast? I can't help with scanning but I'm sure someone here can help.
