I couldn't agree more. I find myself returning to this one over and over again. Remarkable.

Now i will buy more Fomapan 100 sheets to use ;) I am sold

First Light at the Bristlecones

Not long after I got my first 4x5 in 2003, I took it up to the White Mountains. I camped at Grand View campground and got up in the dark. I drove fast up to the Patriarch Grove. Fast smooths out the bumps, but that morning it cost me a new tire (that road has now gifted me with two flat tires). I did get up there just in time for first light and it was very warm light, filtering through some haze on the eastern horizon.

I recently reorganized the galleries on my website and, having seen them anew, have been reworking and occasionally re-scanning some images. I rescanned this one this morning.

The film was the original Velvia 50. I sure miss that film. The newer stuff isn't bad, but the original did not have the color casts of the newer stuff. This presentation is pretty much how the chrome looks on the light table.

Those reds!

First of all, great images Nana. I was hoping someone else would post some images after yours because that is a hard act to follow. Your use of a wide angle is something I admire along with perfect compositions and wonderful tonal range.

So, here are a few images taken on a recent trip to the southwest. As you will notice this group of images is of Factory Butte near Hanksville, Utah. I have been stopping by this feature for years and generally have had little luck. This past winter I finally had some nice light and clouds. On two consecutive mornings, the light and clouds just kept on changing. So here are a few of the shots from the two mornings. All taken on an ebony 8x10 using Fuji Provia or Velvia.

I desaturated the reds a bit in the PS processing. They are really screaming on the film. :)

Nice series, Jim!! I too have gone past there many times and never been gifted with good conditions. You did great. I especially like the second one. A real beauty.

Thanks Harley.

Knowing about Velvia 50, I can imagine the reds in your chrome - nice work. As to Factory Butte, I am a glutton for punishment when out there. Heck, I'm going to head back out there in a couple of weeks. I'll probably be a little early for any spring colors, but one never knows. I'm timing it for the full moon and will attempt the impossible (at least for me,) trying to get a moon set over Factory Butte as the sun rises. Probably an exercise in futility, but a fun exercise never the less.

Nice, intestine composition, I like it, that last one was interesting and looks almost illuminated by light :)
