Large Format Landscapes

[Vaughn]

Just having fun! Developed this 11x14 negative last night/early morning. Big-leaf maples along Prairie Creek, CA. I photographed the neg on the light table and messed with it...not a representation of any final image to come. I set up for one 5.5x15 image, then just take off the back, rotate it 180 degrees, and expose the second image. In this case about one stop seperates the two exposures. Both were at f/45, one at 1 minute the other at two minutes. Time kept in my head, so some variation is likely in the timing.

Gorgeous negative(s) Vaughn. I like the darker one, but the presentation here is interesting.

Tried developing an 8x10 transparency I shot months ago last night, after finding the tanks and film holders I had misplaced when moving a couple years ago. Didn't work well due to some technical issues that I will resolve but I did get an image, just with wonky color (or possibly this film is toast). But the earthy tones were kind of interesting, so here's the scan:

PS I just saw this, thanks Brandon!

I am curious about the above two posts. I personally think the foreground in Brandon's image looks great, with lots of lively, even if dark tones in the foreground. However, I did notice something. I took the image into PS and immediately it looked differently. The reason is, the embedded profile was different than what was being displayed in the web browser.

First, I would personally recommend to Brandon to edit and save scans for web use in sRGB, so that the browser isn't mucking with the image. Secondly, I wonder if different browsers are giving radically different "conversions," hence the dark comments. Of course there's always the issue of monitor calibration and brightness, both for the photographer and viewer.

For a long time I tended to edit scans too bright, and so I have trended darker in the past year, so perhaps my view is biased.
