Nice image! I'm guessing this is the same park where you made that very lovely color image that I received on a card when you assembled an image sharing portfolio?
Yes, it is.Originally Posted by h2oman
this was made in the summer of 2020 during the covid closures in the redwood National Park. I used Arca Swiss F line metric camera along with Nikon 150mm lens. Film used was Kodak E-100

Sitka spruce between the redwoods and the ocean, near Crescent City, California. Along the Howland Hill Road, for those of you who know the area. 4x5, 150mm lens.
Jim, gmed, and h2oman, all especially fine work.

Beautiful image, Jim -- a delicacy.
h2oman -- was just there last Saturday! Road is open all the way through again after repair work. Great image, but unfamiliar with that set of Spruces along the road
gmed -- sweetly captured the dappled light!

As you are climbing out of Crescent City, stop at the top of the hill where there is a gated road, maybe to some sort of camp as I recall? Walk back downhill a hundred yards or so on the road and look northeast.
That road is one of my favorite drives anywhere, except in the summer when the light is harsh and all the ferns are covered with dust from the road!
Ah -- I am too anxious to get over the hill and drop into Mill Creek -- teaches me!!
I try not drive that road in the dry season! Between the dust and the people, I find other places to hide out! LOL! But the light was very fine on Saturday, but I was with my son in the late afternoon and left the 5x7 in the car in order to just enjoy being with my son in the redwoods. He was working in the redwoods all summer -- but much further south and much drier.

If we have visitors, a favorite driving/camping route is up to Crater Lake, down the North Umpqua (waterfalls!), out to the coast, down to Crescent City, through the redwoods on Howland Hill road, and home. A pretty good sampling of four great things. So if they come in the summer, we drive Howland Hill in the summer. When we were younger and heartier, we went to the Smith River for winter kayaking. I'm pretty much a fair weather kayaker now!
