Large Format Landscapes

Thanks everyone.

I DID say it was an experiment ;). I guessed at F64 as the shutter is only marked to F45. The lens stops way past the F45 mark though. It may be F90 for all I know. I'll definitely be experimenting more with this as I can see its usefulness as a somewhat soft focus telephoto lens.

Here's one more of the experimental shots using just the front element of the Ektar 203mm F7.7 lens. These negatives were EXTREMELY thin. I had to do a lot of work to try to get anything out of them.

Winter Road (second time)
Part of my "Serene Landscape" portfolio.

Shot with Chamonix 5×8" Large Format camera and Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 210mm f:4.5 lens on 5×7" sheet of Adox CHS 25, developed in Rodinal (R09) 1:50.

With this photo, I was not sure about the correct exposure parameters. The difference between sunlit snow and dark trees in the shade was great, way over the possibilities of digital chips. I expected the film to cope well with it, but the end result still surprised me...

Thanks a very nice photo, NiNo... The light is wonderful...

Because the Landscape itself is not very overwhelming over here, I want to learn to focus on the small things of nature. I have to admit, that this feels quite difficult for me. Here are 3 attempts, all taken on Velvia 50 with a Apo-Sironar-N 210.

Love the first two, that first one is my favorite :)

I'm still running through all of my E100G and Astia100f and don't have any V50 loaded! Ugh! Now I regret that!! Lol.

Awesome, awesome, AWESOME! Video is great too. The red filter really made the second shot. Just outstanding!
