Cute dogs are always a good subject . Better than cats anyway .

Finally made a few prints from my Widelux negatives, on Ilford Galerie G3:

Mother had 3 exactly the same female Dachshunds over 45 years, all named Sam.

In pictures I cannot tell them apart. They are very bossy dogs.

Tell us about the middle Widelux print as it varies from the others.

1. Twelve Oaks Wilderness Preserve - Ocean Springs, Mississippi
2. Biloxi Beach in Fog - Biloxi, Mississippi
3. Blood Mountain Approach Trail - Appalachian Trail in north GA

I guess it's just the high-key fog aspect that makes it different? Hard to tell here in small size, but you can see the delineation of the beach sand and sky just barely - Zone 8/9 I guess.

Those look great, Bryan!

I really like the middle one, but we can barely tell it's fog or what.

Just the sizing of the forum default.

Thanks Peter and Randy! Yes that seems to be the consensus. One of my favorite compositions is groups of threes.

I might try upping the size to the max I can print - 9.5 x 23.5. Just to see what it looks like. 10x enlargement!

Or you could scare up one of those Canham 4x10 "box cameras" with the helical focus 90mm and wear it like a GoPro...

At any rate, that was a great trip--agree that the center photo is special indeed.

Thanks CB!

So actually I sometimes leave my Chamonix 4x5 on the tripod when it's attached to my bag, which makes the camera loom over my right shoulder. I get plenty of odd looks and questions about it on the trail. It's nice to have my hands free sometimes when clambering over rockier terrain as I'm sure you know.
