How about a new color landscape thread?

Some very inspiring work in this thread! Here's one of my favorites from near Cascade Springs, UT.

This is a nice one Rick, I feel like I'm standing there.

Last winter, misty cold morning - one of the outings I tremendously enjoyed and was oblivious of my frozen feet and fingers (I realized that in the car on the way home...)

Another nice one Jiri.

Wharton S.F., New Jersey. The sun was just breaking through the clouds and lit this group of ferns.

Such wonderful photos, Everyone!

Here is one of a full moonrise taken at Silverton in 12/04. When I drove up there it was a perfectly clear day. I set up my Linhof IV and waited for the moon to rise in the twilight. Thirty minutes before the moon was to appear, this filmy veil of clouds began moving in from the east.

Not the image I envisioned, but I had to salvage something out of the four hour round trip. Image made on Fuji RDP III, 4x5 sheet with Schneider Symmar 150mm lens.

I think you did well, Al.

I've been wanting to post some of my efforts here, but I don't have access to a scanner. Finally I decided to just tape the tranparencies (in sleeves!) to my living room window and shoot them (handheld) with my DSLR. I corrected the colors to roughly match the transparencies.

These are among my first ten LF exposures, with the Osaka 4x5 and 150mm Sironar-N I purchased from Blueberrydesk. I believe the film for the first is some expired Velvia 50 that Jim at Midwest was kind enough to spot me when I bought some things from him, and the second is on some gratis Astia 100 from Blueberrydesk. Metered with my DSLR. I wish I had taken the first with Astia, as the shadowed snow has an unpleasant purplish cast in the transparency. You will see the tops of the neighbor's trees at the bottom of that transparency, and clouds outside the window are the reason for the funny light blotches on the frozen lake in the second. I think there is a dog hair in there too!

I darn near got frostbite while taking the second shot! Oh yeah, the first one is Crater Lake from near the top of Mount Garfield. The second is Crescent Lake, OR. I'm thinking it might work well converted to B&W.

Correction to the above: The Crater Lake shot was with a 90mm 5.6 Caltar (Grandagon)-N.
