Excellent, "greens" are always a mystery to me (unfortunate for our part of the world;)) so it's nice to see what can be done "filterless."Quote:

CB - Try delta 100 for greens in spring/early summer. It takes on a different quality and separates out the yellow, green, blue much better than HP5 and even FP4. I have no idea why as its tonal range is about the same as FP4, but its noticeable in large areas of green.
Very cool--Paul Barden mentioned Delta 100 as a favorite a while back; and I believe it was John Layton who was recommending X-ray film for green vegetation as well. (FWIW, I'm am patiently awaiting someone to reintroduce 8x10 IR film, but that might be after the Last Trump sounds.:))Quote:

I also noticed less reflective highlights like we have here with some of the leaves that are waxy. I think that makes a much bigger difference in the rendering than I would have guessed, visually.
I'm lucky that I got to Hoh. For reasons I won't really go into, I didn't think I was going to get there, and then I buckled down and made a full round-trip of the Olympic Peninsula in a day so I could get out there and shoot for about 2 hours.

Have you ever seen a contact print from an 8x10 or even 4x5? No comparison to smaller formats. I have always said that 90% of all photographs can be made on tripod. Unless you are an action photographer, that alone will improve your work.
Lovely - as everQuote:
