D-tach, all of these recent posts are great but this one is my favorite.

Love the way the wave and the driftwood carry the diagonal division all the way through the frame.
A real ying yang between the solid of the earth and the fluid vapor of the sea & sky, with a little nebulous area in the center. Nice.

mandoman7: those are beautifully composed.

I just borrowed a Chinese 6x17 back and am anxious to run some film through it. Really do like your image.

Thanks JD!

I actually was using a Singh-Ray 3 stop hard grad... I love them and the Tiffen glass grad filters but I keep placing the Tiffen grads in my back pocket and sitting on them and breaking them!
I think the not neutral look might be from my lens vignetting at the top because I had a lot of front rise going on because I was actually beneath the scene and wanted to keep the film plane as parallel as I could. I also added a bit of warming to my sky as my Velvia scans on my 4990 have been coming out pretty cold.

Enjoy the 6x17 back! I'm having a blast with mine so far!

Kind of a left over from Great Sand Dunes National Park. This was after I exposed a few other 4x5 slides. The light came and went in less than 10 minutes. Here it was waning. Not sure what I was composing but it was super quick and with a 210mm that was on for a photo before this. Kind of in between being not long enough and not wide enough for me.

4x5 Velvia 50
Crown Graphic Special
Graphic Kowa 210mm
f/32
Several seconds exposure, can't remember how many.
