Large Format Landscapes

I don't miss Ohio but seeing shots like this make me miss Hocking Hills at least. Nicely done.

The Diablo Range - California 2009.

http://spiritsofsilver.com/yahoo_sit...3540_large.jpg

This is a scan of an 11x14 print that I just came across in a nice Century 16x20 preservation box holding several 16x20 and 11x14 color prints. It's been cropped by the scanner to fit. The negative was shot on Fuji 160-S with a 150mm apo Sironar-S on Pearl Harbor Day (7 December) 2009 and developed and printed shortly thereafter on Fuji Crystal Archive paper. The image was taken in the afternoon of the next day following a rare winter storm that left several inches of snow down to the 1500 foot level. The distance from where I am with the camera on Briones Ridge to the Diablo Range is somewhere between 10 and 20 miles - probably around 15. I believe that's the city of Walnut Creek just above the midpoint near the center. Note the lone red tree near the center in a graveyard.

Wow. Good work, Thomas. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Michael.

It's a very gneiss photo indeed!

Beautiful view, Thomas. It has particular meaning to me because last summer work took me out to CA., east bay and central coast, and as an east coaster living in FL, I loved it. In my spare time I was able to roam Mt. Diablo State Park, and will never forget the heady aroma of the Chapperal and the vistas of golden hills and oak trees. One time I stayed in Walnut Creek for several days. You're bringing back good memories.
