Stoked about this shot today. It only took me two years walking by this spot constantly to "see" this composition. A good lesson for myself.
Went out with the "ultra-light" kit today. Chamonix 45n1, 90mm f/6.8 Angulon @ f/32, T-Max 100, Acufine:

Learning a lot from you guys, but it looks like I still have a way to go.
Yangshou China. Shot with a Nagaoka 4x5 w/ Schneider Xenar 150 f4.5 on Shanghai 100 film souped in D76 1:1.

This was my first attempt to use tilt. It was easier than I thought.
"eye" in camera
Easier, and I bet you used less tilt than you thought you needed. ;^)Quote:

I had to crop the image as the right hand side of the negative had a large bush which I failed to see when I was taking the image - it basically destroyed the bottom right of the image thereby forcing me to crop as such. In hindsight, cropping it this way was much more appealing, to me at least.Quote:

Yea it's hard to do 6x12 well vertically, this is a "nailed it" though personally I don't like the PS thing as I don't do PS so when I wonder how I could personally get a shot like this and then learn that there was PS work done, I wonder if it's similar to darkroom work or something that would be near impossible without a computer.
This is not anti-PS this is just understand in my own darkroom limits.
StoneNYC maybe you can look into split toning
Thanks! I had to use tilt 2 or 3 times until now. Probably newer use swings in landscape, can't imagine the landscape which requires it.Quote:

Shailendra -- terrific image. How did you develop the film? What developer did you use and how did you process it? Thanks

I developed the film at "Photolab" up in Berkeley yesterday. I had a bunch of unprocessed 4x5's and just don't have the bandwidth to process myself at the time being. I believe they process in X-tol, but will check.Quote:

Tone until the moon just turns blue. The blue will recede some as it it washed and dried.Quote:

I split the difference and rate it at 80. It works out so I haven't changed, but I'm sure 100 would also be fine.Quote:
