Both are stunningly beautiful images!
Once in a while I get back to Yosemite. I can't go and not take pictures. So I tried again with Half Dome, my objective being to achieve sharpness and a good range in tone, for once.
Bender 8x10, with 12 inch component of a Turner Reich 12-21-28 triple convertible lens. Red filter. Kodak Tmax 400.
Comments welcome. Thank you.

Just a photo I took this morning with my 4x5 large format camera. This one was taken about 10 minutes from home, in "The Narrows" area of the Big Thompson Canyon.
The rock walls are full of crystalline structures, so they really shine when the light hits them right.
I'm starting to get the hang of the large format camera. It is VERY different than shooting with a digital camera and even much different than other film cameras. I used front tilt and rise on this shot since I had to shoot upwards and needed to change the perspective to get the rock walls upright again instead of looking like they were "falling away". This image would be impossible to get to look this way without using a camera that has movements. The perspective would just be too off.
Anyway. this was taken with a Zone VI 4x5 large format camera on Fomapan 200 film. Shot using a Nikkor SW 180mm F5.6 lens through a red 25A filter. Processed in HC-110 (dilution H) for 9 minutes.

Beautiful...
Thanks Renato. By the way, are you the same Renato from MFLenses forum?
I really like the Foma films as well. I am starting to get dialed in on my processing and shooting of Foma 200. I REALLY like what I am getting from my development now using HC-110. It took a while though (~50 sheets). I need to order more.
