Large Format Landscapes

An alternate version of a scene I uploaded earlier (now deleted). After giving it some thought I found I preferred the more subtle, subdued tones of this one.

What’s idea behind the unsharp top left, deliberate?

If you’re referring to the vignetting, I believe I got my filter holder in the shot. Hadn’t tested it on the 90mm lens yet.

I don't see anything obviously unsharp top-left in that photo...

Another re-worked older photo using my improved digitisation workflow, this time showing the entire 4x5 frame.

No not the vignetting. Probably it’s the haze then and the fact that at the top right only sees sharp by color contrasts there. The heath at the foreground is definitely sharper to my eyes

I didn't find it being unsharp. I do see vignetting in the sky in the upper left and right corners. But that's probably because no center filter was used, an aesthetic effect some people like. It looks like he used a GND filter.

It's a nice shot. You got the colors very natural looking. What was your scanning and editing routine? I have trouble with negative color film and have stuck with chromes. They're just easier to scan and set the colors accurately.

Thanks Martin. E100 is a great film, and the updated workflow makes the repro so accurate and easy it almost feels wrong. I need to do virtually nothing to the files now except crop out the border and apply some RAW sharpening. I'm like a cat in cream here
