  1. Re: Wind movement in scenes especially with large format photography

    Alan, by spending lots of time in the woods like Natty Bumppo. ;^)
  2. Re: Wind movement in scenes especially with large format photography

    In my younger and less-experienced years, I didn’t understand forest winds very well.

    For example, I didn’t know some winds never subside, no matter the patience, curses, prayers, magic...
  3. Re: Wind movement in scenes especially with large format photography

    Vaughn, a beautiful shot using breeze to your advantage.

    Your subject matter is so light and delicate, it may never have a moment of stillness!

    Have you ever returned to try?

    Re: Favorite Lens

    Schneider XL 110mm/5.6 = Spouse
    Schneider 150mm/9 g-claron = Mistress
    Fuji A 240mm/9 = Best friend

    Need I say which is my favorite? :rolleyes:

    Adding to Domaz's note, it's the Day Lodge on Hurricane Ridge that burned down, not the Visitor Center in Port Angeles.

  6. Re: What’s your most “unpopular” opinion about LF?

    Ansel Adams’ best group portraits are, well, certainly memorable if not spine tingling.

    My choice of word “memorable” might not be popular.

    I like how the two redwoods frame the three background kings.

    Did you use only front rise and nothing else?

  9. Re: What’s your most “unpopular” opinion about LF?

    One might also keep in mind that turning a 4x5 camera on its side on a sturdy tripod and head can provide movements you didn’t think your camera had.

    For example, turn my 4x5 Tachi on its side,...
  10. Re: What’s your most “unpopular” opinion about LF?

    I think the most physically painful and emotionally stressful of any LF endeavor is macro work in the wilderness.

    I think Doremus is correct about back movements, as long as one distinguishes between geometric perspective and viewpoint perspective.

  12. Re: What’s your most “unpopular” opinion about LF?

    People here will notice my enthusiasm when I post images taken with my 150mm g-claron – it is a “sweet” lens indeed. And I mean not just the lens, but the FL.

    Its normalcy often proves its...
  13. Re: What’s your most “unpopular” opinion about LF?

    I suspect my belief would be unpopular among LFers who think a tree is just a tree, but we might have more Freudians here than I thought! :D

    That reminds me of another personal belief that's bound to be unpopular!

    To a greater or lesser degree, every landscape image illustrates the photographer’s most pressing unconscious concerns,...
  15. Re: What’s your most “unpopular” opinion about LF?

    Many say they love LF because it helps them enjoy nature.

    Here’s one of my most unpopular responses…

    Concentrating on composition, focus, or metering dulls those senses not directly related to...
  16. Re: What’s your most “unpopular” opinion about LF?

    As a 4x5 landscape lens, the Schneider 150mm g-claron performs beautifully wider than f/22, even producing lovely bokeh at its widest (f/9) for closer shots.
  17. Re: What’s your most “unpopular” opinion about LF?

    The 150mm is an extremely exciting lens to use for 4x5 landscapes.
  18. Re: What’s your most “unpopular” opinion about LF?

    The vast majority of LFers who wander from the hiking trail need to learn how to navigate without batteries – and find out what “10 Essentials” means.

    Especially the younger ones here. ;^)
