mdm,
You've made a nice composition for solving the problem of distant, hazy mountains.

mdm,
You've made a nice composition for solving the problem of distant, hazy mountains.
Actually what I am learning is that for foma 100 and to a lesser extent delta 100, I need to underdevelop some of the very contrasty scenes I am attracted to, otherwise the paler tones just get compessed on the shoulder. Maybe it's time to do a full btzs test and using the system properly. At the moment I use a simplified btzs system where I meter the shadows with an incident meter set at 2x film speed and develop everything normally, except in flat light when I meter ambient light at normal film speed. It's a very interesting journey, this of photography thing.
Spouting Rock Falls
I just returned from a camping trip to the Glenwood Canyon. Here is a photo of an interesting falls that is right above Hanging Lake in the Glenwood Canyon of Colorado. The falls "spouts" from a hole in the cliff side. I'm not sure if it is coming from an underground spring or river or what.

One more fresh off the scanner!
A view from my camping spot in the White River National Forest this past weekend.
I took this photo while cooking some dinner over the fire.

Nice shots CJ, I never had any luck with the rapid e6 developer, I got all kinds of weird results, I know it was something I was doing wrong, I wished Kodak still made there kit.
Fuji now makes a near identical 6 step kit. Freestyle has it in stock, but you are going to pay a premium.Quote:

Fuji have been making this 6 bath kit for a long time, we've been BEGGING for it to be imported to the USA and finally freestyle is doing it, very grateful.Quote:

That's a great kit. Have been using it for a few years and hardly had any trouble. It takes about 45 minutes to do one batch and there are quite a few steps, but with a few timers at hand it shouldn't be a problem.
Finally got around to developing some recent work.
