Large Format Landscapes

[AndrewBurns]

Wow. May I ask what you used to scan this and where this was shot?

Cheers! It was shot at a place called Matapouri on the north island of New Zealand, I was just up there for the weekend. 'Scanned' with my Sony A7RII and a macro lens with a light table to illuminate the negative. Two photos merged together in Lightroom and a plugin called Negative Lab Pro to invert the negative into a positive image.

Also here's another from the same day, FP4+ with a 6-stop ND filter this time:

Well done!.

Thanks! This is the view, looking the opposite way more or less. Cropped to 1:2, still with my 90mm XL:

Nice one!

Thanks Jon. I saw this shot months ago when I just had my 35mm camera on me and so have been meaning to go back and do it properly.

One more from this waterfall...from up behind the main falls:

Very nice, but I'm still wanting you to hump that 5x7 back into the country a bit--I'm thinking the arc of the fallen tree upstream would rhyme with a bit more horizontal treatment. Don't ask me where you'll put the tripod, though--that rock face to the right and hard Vibram soles might have you wishing you'd been born with a prehensile tail.

Got the 5x7 out yesterday to test some lenses and will probably shoot more now as I have fixed it up a bit (lots of electrical tape on the bellows!). Check the soft focus landscape thread...something a bit different for me.

That first shot on the thread is a great scene--very nice tree presiding. I'll have to mull over the SF approach for this AO, though--certainly the f64 approach can provide an overwhelmingly busy result, but I suspect I might prefer to see that tamed in output (e.g. a carbon print) rather with the lens. Hope you find it a profitable journey, though.

I am not fond of every tree image, this is interesting

The source, the damage done and quietude

Excellent
