Thanks Jim.

But wait, there's more.

As long as we have snow, there will be more.

Not so important with this photo, but with the other photos, I stuck with the verito because it was a good choice among my different soft focus lenses for this subject. For 4x5, I have two veritos, a gundlach hyperion, pipe & spaghetti, and a reinhold wollaston meniscus. Many of the snow photos have foreground material that is out of focus. This one is all in-focus and beyond, but I stuck with the verito to be consistent. The verito seems to do a good job with the out of focus foreground compared to the wollaston and the hyperion. I have not sufficiently tested the pipe & spaghetti to have a conclusion on that. The wollaston and hyperion do a good job with the out of focus in the background mostly. As you can see, the verito is up to the challenge as well. It comes down to shooting lots of film and in different situations to drive decisions on which lens to take. The hyperion and wollaston are kind of long compared to a 7.25" verito as well, which is kinda wide for a soft focus lens and useful in these scenes.

Bravo. Beautiful snow. Something we're seeing little of in the west.

Last of the snow at BIrch Point Beach state park, Owls Head Maine. Ilford fp4+ in pyrocat hd, speed graphic 4x5 preanniversary, 9" Gundlach Hyperion soft focus lens. Definitely Galli style as he too has been shooting with a Hyperion recently.
