Thanks. Specific subject is West Kennet Long Barrow, with Silbury Hill (largest prehistoric manmade earthwork in Europe) in distance.

A view from the Whidbey Island bluff toward Seattle. This is late in the day with still winds - I had to wait a couple of weeks for that. 150mm lens in old Calumet field view camera, TriX film with red #25 filter. I printed a bunch of these in greeting card size today to commemorate the election finally getting over the hump.

Very nice. In my experience these wide Nikkors cope very well without centre-filters (even with slide film so long as you are not going wild with movements).
In any case, and for B&W especially, I might even add a vignette back in. For this image I might do so to create a little more contrast in the lower half of the image?
Another one from me, from back in August. One of my faves of the year, thematizing 'stillness'. A large print of this is in the offing.

Nice light, Dave -- also looked up the word 'offing'...not a word we use often over on this side of the pond (or the offing, I suppose). Thanks!

Not entirely happy with this one, the composition is what I wanted, the diagonal line of cloud matching the tree line is very satisfying. But in the rush to capture the setting moon it seems I missed focus by a wee bit. Also a red rather than orange filter may have been better, I've burned in the sky and the foreground for tone, it was too flat, but maybe I could bring out the lines in the wheatfield a bit more.
