Thank you. That is one of the nicest compliments I've ever had.

I came across the place for the first time this past February. I took a couple images there, but on my tiny camera (Rolleiflex).

Nice work, Greg!

Nice Garrett. Roughly where was this taken?

This is outside of Vail, AZ (Southeast of Tucson) where I live. The mountains are the Rincons.

Wish I had a polarizer with me, oh well

The only thing is that for my processing method anyway I seem to have to rate the film at EI 25 or less. That's using the taco method in a rollfilm dev tank and the times for D76 and X-tol on the massive dev chart. On one of my early shots I metered for EI 100 but forgot to stop the lens down (metered for f/16 but shot at f/4.7), that shot wasn't blown out and seemed to have a better range of densities than the other sheets it was developed with.

Anyway, now I have a 50 sheet box of tmax-400 :)

How does Shanghai compare for reciprocity failure, softness of the emulsion and apparent variation (QC) with Foma? It seems comparably priced.

Fall color above Carbondale Colorado last weekend. My first home developed LF color.

Is the plant in the photo an ocotillo?
