For the non Californias, the road to Alabama Hills is are all your favorite B&W western movies filmed! And I think a couple of Star Trek episodes.
And Gunga Din, Kyber Rifles and others that I can not spell...including Drango Unchained, where these rocks magically appear in the Deep South occasionally! A beautiful place -- use to be deserted in the old days (twenty years ago), except for the occasional Jeep ad being filmed. I had the 8x10 set up on top of one rock and across the way a fellow set up an equally large (but heavier) movie camera. We waved. I don't usually watch TV, but somehow a year later I saw the ad. Cool.
Alabama Hills, 4x10 negative, 24" RD Artar, platinum print. The background is not the sky, but the eastern slope of the Sierras...might give it another go someday to see if I can't give a little more hint of that.

Allow me to obtain a copy for publication in the Egyptian analog community so that beginners amateurs learn from this wonderful art.
God bless you
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thank you all for the comments.
Nicely done, Vaughn, the format works well. Bet platinum does also.
Mine was from 1962. As you suggested, it was indeed deserted. Still a wonderful place, the air is fresh.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
And cold winter nights with the full moon disappearing over the Sierras and picking a site that got the sun as early as possible!
The last night I spent there, it was flashes going off all night amongst the rocks and a drone in the morning! A photo workshop, I think...the bastards! LOL!
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks Merg and Vaughn for the excellent Alabama hills photographs. Both really capture the feel of the location.
I've been there several times and mostly came away with poorly composed and under exposed rocks.

Oh, I got plenty of those, too! :cool:
This was from my camp in the evening...later that night a photo workshop must have had way too much fun at the arch.
And looking at my image, I realize this is a photographed 4x10 negative on my light table that I inverted in PhotoShop. The 'burning' around the edges is just the light sneaking around the edges from the light box. But if I ever make at Pt/pd print of it, it will look something like this.

A re-edit of an old large format photo now that we have so much time... Ektar 100, somewhere out behind Anawhata beach in New Zealand.
