But ... it has a person in it! Horrors :eek:

Shoot man, what do do expect with all that facial hair ???
i love the light, and i have a question.
Have you tried printing the clouds down just a bit?
I wonder if that would bring up some more texture and graduate the dark tones of the sky to the foreground linearly.
No critique intended, just enjoying the possibilities in
all that great light.

Ed
It was meant as a compliment...Quote:

You took it a step farther and made it work.
I think I see what you're saying. I admit that I tried some selective tonal adjustment but everything I tried seemed to take some depth away. I kept coming back to the unedited version. Thanks for the comments. I'll be enlarging this one this weekend if I get a chance to mix up some RA4.Quote:

With skies the general trend seems to be to go for extreme contrast. Obviously I want to avoid the ridiculous HDR\High-radius USM etc. look you see so often in the digital world (which is why I like the LF crowd - you never see that kind of garish ugliness), but I certainly did boost the contrast of the sky here; the original sky is much more of a uniform light gray on the neg. Sometimes I have to resist the urge to have too many individualized Curve masks as it can make the image look a bit patchy.Quote:

Superb images Luc. Thanks for sharing.
HP4+? I take it that's either a typo for FP4+ or HP5+?
