Dunes at Sunrise, Death Valley National Park, CA
Arca-Swiss 4x5, Provia 100F QL
This light only lasts about 45 seconds or so. Then the dunes turn to a flat grayish color. The funny thing was, being that this was my first sunrise shot here, I misjudged the amount of time I had and in a panic, I rushed into setting up my camera and didn't even bother to care where the lens was pointing... I didn't want to miss that light! Turned out I had a good half an hour before the dunes lit up gold. Next time I will know better and will spend more time getting a view. And with a good GPS unit, I can even scout the area the day before and come back the next morning. Fun story though.

Wow! Those are outstanding chromes. I know that feeling to when you're rushing at the end or start of the day. Large format sometimes can't set up fast enough. :D

Beautiful image, and it reminds me of our own Salinas Valley. It gives me inspiration to go do something like that! Great work.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Wow, those Death Valley shots are stunning dperez. That's probably the finest image of Zabriskie Point I've ever seen.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Some great Death Valley work!!
Those dunes are great and not just cause they were done with an Arca-Swiss :)

I checked out your site... I dig your photographic taste. That's the same subject matter I've been shooting for years.

Igor.
This is the first TR 5X8 lens photo I've seen, other than mine, it's a nice lens isn't it? Is yours in a Rapax shutter? I haven't tried mine converted, there isn't enough time in life to do it all.
Love the photographs look and feel. Very nice indeed.

Hi Curt !
Mine is ina old air timed Compound shutter. Very nice small and lightweight lens. Covers Whole Plate nicely when stopped down. Back element is perfectly sharp for my taste and contact prints. I have two 8x10 TR as well.
Best wishes, Igor.
