Jason, just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed your entire series of soft-focus trees in snow. You have found really nice images in an area I suspect I might have hiked through without even taking the camera out of the backpack.

DIY monorail camera, 0.5mm pinhole, about 140mm focal length,
12x18 cm Primax RTG-G x-rayfilm EI50, RO9 1:100 18C/12min, contacted (60s).
The redwood wall is pretty dark on film.

DIY monorail camera, unknown 210/f9 lens @f11/2s,
12x18 cm Primax RTG-G x-rayfilm EI50, RO9 1:100 18C/12min, contacted.

I think my groundglass is not in right place. The camera has a bit backfocused. It is must be correcting. Anyway my DIY monorail camera is working well...

Thanks Peter.

I live nearby and visit there regularly for the past five or so years, but just found this spot in the fall of last year. There's some thick woods (and deep snow) hiding the beauty from those in a hurry.

I like the dimension marks which would aid the focusing, I have a set of oak timber set to
build a camera but got lazy as I was pursuing a UNI degree which took up all my time.
I bought all the components from Jon Shui and put the Kodak 2D together, 100 sheets of
film later I am getting this x-ray film to a almost expected result rather than wonder what I will
get with this shot.I have 100 sheets of 11X14 in the freezer so a camera of this size may be on the drawing board.

Thanks
I was especially glad that the camera with no covers and car headlights hitting it for a lot of the exposure had no light leaks what so ever
