Large Format Landscapes

[Gary Tarbert]

Yeah I'm tank developing 6 sheets at a time, so I can't really zone system properly. I'm usually just trying to hit somewhere in the middle to preserve detail in both highlights and shadows, then getting the contrast right after scanning. Sacrilege I know, but it really removes the need for a spot meter. Incident and the matrix meter between my ears is good enough.

The above refers to this post not tristans reply , Looks confusing!

Thanks andreios - I really appreciate your comment. I'm looking forward to getting back to some higher altitude hiking in the couple of months we have left before the snow arrives. Here is one last one from the most recent visit;

Woah. Love the mountain detail in the back right corner of the image. Great work. Do you have a site or flickr?

Here comes one without the "ghost" image:

Stupid question, I'm sure, but curious why your negatives have a almost toned look to them? Is it the Rodinal, the film, the post processing, etc?

[Jiri Vasina]

Johnathon, it's postprocessing. Since I don't have a real darkroom and scan all my negatives, I have settled to do a kind of sepia toning for this portfolio during finishing my work on each image. I save a plain grayscale version and also a toned one for each image.

Ahh, ok. Did not know if it was something I wasn't aware of. Regardless, very nice.
Keep up the great work Jiri.

Here's my first home processed slide film (or color film for that matter). I used the Arista Rapid E-6 kit to develop it.

Just a shot of one of the lakes in my town.

Taken with a Zone VI 4x5 camera and Fujinon W 125mm F5.6 lens, using a 2 stop graduated ND filter. Shot on Velvia 100 and processed with Arista E-6 chemicals.

I'll add more as I have time to scan in the slides. I developed 6 sheets at once in a Jobo Daylight tank.

Nice! If you want an even more dramatic look, try Velvia50 the whites at the top would probably be a dramatic purple hue.

This is lovely though, nice lines and choice in exposure.

Yeah, I got 120 sheets of Velvia 50 in Quickloads in the freezer and 125 sheets of older Velvia 50 regular sheets I just picked up. I don't know how the sheets I just picked up are going to act though as they are very old, but freezer stored.

I haven't shot any of the Velvia 50 yet, but that will change this weekend. I am heading up to Glenwood Springs to shoot the Hanging Lake and other areas around there. The Velvia 50 Quickloads are coming along on the hikes!
