Richard, great image. I'm thinking that is St. Mary lake and Mts. to the south, in Glacier National Park, printed backwards. But I don't have access to my files so can't confirm.
Whatdya think.

Gregg,

Great granite there as well. Spent my youth climbing in the South Platte and love the shape of the huge boulders and outcrops.

First time shooting Velvia 50, and I must say, it's a bit of a drug in 4x5.

I like that image--a lot.

Yes, Velvia is intoxicating. It's not always good to be intoxicated, of course. But it feels so good.

I'm old. Definitely quirky. Should Velvia be afraid around me?????????????

I really like this, but I'm just itching to see it in colour for some reason.

Dear Wayne and Jiri,

The temperature happens to be the only thing I can remember about that day, and the fact that I possibly stood at the edge of the Chateau Lake Louise Hotel's ice rink, to capture the image. If I did not go into the lounge for a few hot drinks after that, I was foolish... :)

Dear Chris,

Well done... :)

Wonderful photo. Do you process yourself? Or do you have a very speedy lab?

Thanks.
Thankfully I'm blessed with pretty good lab here (though they did mix up one of my rolls and give me some slides of some people I'd never met before peering back at me). If you give them something before mid day, it'll be done that same day, even 4x5. Anything after 12 will be done by 11am the following day. They really do run a great service.

Thanks also to Jim, Rick, Sam and Mark. I really was over the moon when I got them back from the lab yesterday. I can't believe I'd spent the last 2 months too nervous to use it.

Couldn't be Nate. Never been there, and the neg is not printed backwards.
