Wow Jim!
These are stunning!

BTW good job on the DIY-grad-filtering ;-)

Just for curiosity: was the misty autumn photograph done with old-generation Velvia 50?

Excellent work, Jim. Especially the long exposure.

Martin,

Thanks. To be honest with you, it is either some Velvia that is expired (but frozen since I bought it when it was short dated - around 2007) or it is some current stock. I'm not sure, I had both loaded but I really do not keep track. Jim

Jim, all three of your posted shots are great. I really like the abstract. Exceptional color combination and strong pattern. Well done!

Fantastic images Jim. The Fall scene reminds a bit of Nathan Farb who found his identity in NY's Adirondacks.

Keep it going.

I seldom effuse, but that stuff is not too shabby man.

The sunrise image had a neutral density filter to lengthen the time exposure to somewhere around 2 minutes. And instead of using a graduated neutral density filter to balance out the sky in both images, I have been using my darkslide as a "dodging" tool. I moved the dark slide slightly up and down over the sky area for the duration of the exposure and it seemed to work fairly well. Jim

Scanning new images is taking too long.

Taken last October on a week trip to Skye. Bands of clouds were blowing across in strong winds, so the lighting was constantly changing. Taken on FP4 with an Orange Filter on a Wista DX. You can see some hikers on the path for a sense of scale.
