Large Format Landscapes

Hello All,

My first post here in the landscape forum. Pretty basic composition as I feel my way through the trials and tribulations of LF. Shot taken in South Lake Tahoe and horizon was quite smokey resulting in a very golden sunset. Of course, i did have an 81a on the lens also.

I don't have the ability to scan 4x5 film so this is a cropped 8x10 scan of the print which is actually 10x12 on Kodak Metallic Endura.

Zone VI 4x5; 210 Sinaron w/81a on expired 160nc.

Couldn't resist taking some shots anyway, because it is such a nice peaceful place to hang around.

I really like this, the tones and textures are great in the soft light.

Thanks all for the thoughts. Obviously there are as many opinions as there are photographers!
This location certainly deserves a return trip, I'll say that.

I dig it, Bryan. Not sure I'd change a thing, but the wide-angle suggestion is worth a try, imho.

I really like that, and I also have no problem with the light. It seems appropriate for the place. I'd love to see a print of it.

What, you don't know a great image when you see one?

It is dark on the grass edges, burn it in.

Yea

Ahh, yes, I remember that lovely place very well!
A bit of work on this image and it´s great ;-)
Have you been to the ruined jetty further down?

Thank you both. I'll probably print it later this week when I find time to work on it some more, but you'll have to come to Holland to see it. You're quite welcome to though.

No, I haven't been to the jetty. There were some diggers etc left on the path beyond the last parking and it was all dug up, I didn't know if I was even allowed passed there. So I stayed in the delta.

As good of a place to put this as any. A virtual west Texas landscape in peeling paint on the side of a small metal storage cylinder found near Fort Davis, Texas. 4x5 Arista Edu Ultra film in Rodinal 1+100.

I am not sure I would call it a landscape, but it is a very cool abstract of shapes and tones. Very well done.
