I think that images like this are often underappreciated. It really conveys the feeling of the basin and range of Nevada and western Utah.
And I love that lens - shot four sheets of film yesterday, and used it for three of them!

Thanks to all those who appreciated my last post and returned a feedback. I'm sorry I couldn't reply as I was on vacation.
I brought my 45F2 to Canary Islands and did some shooting. I started working with Rollei RPX 25 some time ago and it's a pretty good film with huge dynamic range and great QC, also invisible grain. But having a film base 100 microns thick makes it hell to develop in a standard jobo reel, so most likely I won't be shooting it anymore.
These are the first two from my vacation I developed in Rodinal 1+25, I think they work nicely as a diptych.

Definitely like the harmonics here, especially with the curves of the swale playing off the receding ridgeline and the cloud above. Seems like a scene that could be explored in a lot of different weather conditions/lighting, though you might think about experimenting with filters a bit if the sky is going to be a constant element in the composition.
I live in Klamath falls, OR, and when my parents were alive, they were in Casper, WY. If you look for the route between them on a road atlas, you'll see that I've driven through my share of that kind of country!
