Wet plate collodion (on aluminum) made this morning, before the Oregon fog burned off.
Deardorff + Symmar-S 240, 15 seconds exposure at f8.5, using John Coffer's Old Workhorse collodion formula.

This one is great Paul.

Interesting shot, Bryan.
The composition works so nicely with the subject matter.
Also the movement in the water is quite lovely.

Came upon this scene while hiking back to my car Saturday. This was under a rock ledge, with lots of icicles melting and a ton of broken-off icicles on the ground. The sun had come out and indirectly illuminated the moss and ice, sparkling in the reflections. But the direct light was coming in fast so I had to make the photo quick. I had my 8 3/4" Verito on the camera and didn't have time to switch, which made me almost not bother, but then I considered how the scene would look with soft-focus. To me there is a "magical" look to this, and reminds me of some fantasy movies shot with this effect, I think from diffusion in front of the lens.

Anyway, here's my favorite shot from my trip to Lula Lake Falls. This will definitely be printed nice and big I think. It might not be visible on screen at this resolution, but there are some wispy, low-level clouds above the falls that I'll try to burn in when I print it. A few minutes later the sun came out - but the lighting was harsh and I'm not sure if I could've gotten a good image (though a sunburst through the trees would be nice, maybe next time).

I like this a lot. The rocks, and the changes in direction of the water.

This is all that's left of a small town in Oregon's Willamette Valley...

I love Clingman's Dome! I need to go back. I want to camp there or something. Are some of the foreground trees still stripped bare and bone-white? When I went up there I had just bought my first 4x5, a Toyo GII monorail, which is 12 pounds by itself. I hauled that sucker up the trail with a huge tripod and big bag full of lenses and doodads. Boy was that stupid! I got home and started shopping for a field camera . Here's an image from up there.

Yes I am liking this one a lot too. What are all the dead trees your link to the other photo?
