Tis the green time of year, Bryan! A wonderful image. The yellow and/or paler green weaves nicely thru the image. I never worked with LF color (other than a 6x7 rollback on 4x5).

Thanks Vaughn! I struggle with using color with purpose, but this more-or-less monochromatic image jumped out at me during a nice hike my wife and I took this evening. Plus I need more negatives to hone my RA-4 printing techniques!
Thanks!
Heh, the trail up on the ridge above gets just about impassable before park clean-up crews cut back the kudzu. Not sure the conditions needed, but this area gets little direct sunlight. Also, luckily I am immune to poison ivy! I rooted around a bit here to get rid of a few pieces of detritus and distractions. The fern is what sealed the deal for me - an interesting interloper to break up the other similar plants.
I am liking Portra more and more. Besides the ability to actually print C-41 negatives, I'm just kinda over the heavy-contrast and oversaturation of chromes, especially in many situations I find myself in here, as you well know.
Corran, watch you exposure to poison ivy. I used to be immune to poison oak but after one particular heavy exposure I lost my immunity.

Watch getting into situations where you damage the plants, such as tearing the leaves and vines or digging the roots. That how my immunity went away, a large enough dose of urishiol will do you in.
