Good point!!

I'd love to get some feedback if one stands out from the group to you.

A single coated 75/8 super angulon was used for all. A 3 stop soft GND was used as well on all the images.

I really greatly prefer the second version over all the others; it has the most natural looking colors. However, they are all just great!!

Ditto. I've shot Ektar 100 in 35mm, but haven't used it in 4x5 yet. I do have a box of 4x5 Ektar to take to Australia with me, so I'll try it out then for myself.

Going back a couple years, it was really a couple prints from Charles Cramer at Young Lakes that ultimately persuaded me to even try Large Format. Getting up there in July was a real treat for me.

Very well done. Excellent location and light. Well captured.

I do vascillate over this manner of presentation. But seeing as I decided to present the images this way on my website, its easier to just link to those images using [IMG] tags. Apologies if its distracting. I trust you still derived a *little* enjoyment from my images... :)

Yes I looked at your website and wonder why you use the frames there. I think that yours as well as other websites that use frames simply weaken the impact of the photography. In fact I think the frames just make the whole presentation look hoakey <sp?>. So much so I loose interest in looking at the photos.

Sorry to be so negative but that's my gut reaction to this kind of presentation.

No problem Don, thanks for the feedback :)

Dear seabird,

I use to frame my internet images too, and I often wondered why I stopped... :)

For the moment, it is definitely too much work, but I would create the frame in PS, just to see what the final image might look like as a framed product, since this frame structure represents my framing material, except for the colour. The frame has a light silver and gold leaf tone to it, and the black inner bevel is cotton covered, which extends about one inch wide from the edge of the outer frame. I have framed my images this way for many, many years.

If you want my PS file, just let me know...

Having a play with a new lens (180mm Commercial Congo). The film holder leaked a bit through the slot (forgot my darkcloth so couldn't shield it effectively) but I don't mind the effect.
