1941 Eastman View Commerical B - Kodak Commercial Ektar 12" - f/45 - Arista Edu 100 - 8x10 Film - HC110 1+100 - Unaltered Negative Scan
Where do I begin to praise this lens? This is the type of lens Ansel had on this exact model of camera that I own. So the camera gear has gone "full Ansel" over here. But the results speak for themselves. Had to track down a special 60 year old filter but its all there. what a pleasure to use.
Really nice Richards, maybe a small tweak on dev. to get rid of strong reflections over the rocks could have been done - I tough about a Linear Polarizer also but it would destroy those wonderful reflections on the water surface,
Cheers,

This reducer does add some graininess ... but in fact that would probably look pretty good on those rocks anyway.
Just a thought. Hope it helps!
Congratulations on your image.
When faced with the tonal problems of the rocks, I often throw water onto them if it is practical - or have someone else do it for me - prior to taking the image. It cuts down the higher tonal values on the rocks themselves and makes printing that much easier.
