Down in the woods again. Depth of field is the big problem; here I tried to use front swing and tilt to make the focal plane follow the trail. TriX film, 150 mm lens, scan from FB print.

Haven't posted in a while, here are three shots from the same trip to a local beach (which is exceptionally hard to get to).
This one is velvia 50, dynamic range was a bit too much for slide film to handle.
This one was ektachrome 100 but shot at EV 80 which I feel works a lot better than 100. Just after the sun had gone down so it was a ~15 second exposure.
This one was Portra 400, was hard to get a composition that included the big rock as everything else around the scene was very busy but I think the rock pools reflecting the sky helped a lot.
I just started with a 4x5 and am learning tilts. I find that in shots like this it doesn;t work because the tree extends through the whole vertical leaving the tops of the trees out of focus. I have to try just working with smaller apertures and leave tilts alone for these type shots.

That compromise is pretty much included in the shot above, but perhaps could have been done more skillfully. Actually, in the same location work the previous week I used TMZ 35 mm and got much nicer results. I'm loaded now to return to a nearby spot that has less tree presence in the near field. That should help.
