Large Format Landscapes

Another one from my recent trip to Glacier NP and Grand Teton NP.

Beautiful image and rendition with great range of values.
Based on yesterday's post and this, if others are as good, must have been a successful trip.

Very inspiring work Michael. Both of your images are stunning.

Hi folks!

I'm still not much of a landscape photographer, but I'm trying to get a bit better while out here in WA for a month. Always happy to get feedback/critique.

Attachment 136706

Wista 45vx, Nikkor 90mm f/8 @ f/22, FP4+ rated at 80, 14sec exposure. Dropped the bed about as far as the camera would allow while having only a slight front-tilt.

I think this is a fantastic image. Especially if this is out of your comfort zone and you are trying to get better at landscapes. I like your choice for framing the waterfall and the exposure and scan is spot on as well. Very nice image.

Thanks! I've processed 6 sheets of B&W film so far and probably about a dozen more to go. I also shot some 4x5 Velvia 50 on the trip that I'm excited to get back, plus a pile of 35mm slides. Hopefully I'll get a few more keepers!

Took this over the weekend while driving around for inspiration. Saw this from a distance and knew right away that I wanted to try to make a photo here. However, I was not dressed appropriately for walking in this field. So a 100 bug bites and scratches later, I made two exposures at this scene one in B&W and another on Velvia 50. I scanned the original @ 2000 DPI and there is unbelievable detail including several grass hoppers, bees, and ducks in the scene.

Would love to hear your comments and feedback.

What does "for 4 sections" mean?

Nice. Worth the bug bites!

Thanks Stone. I meant to say 4 seconds.

Nice Matt! I like this and your other recent large format landscapes as well. I especially thought your images of Cedar Falls were stunning! Also, big fan of the show
