Interesting is that the scene #16248 does it much much better with Tmax100 than this one. Subtlety is not the strongest trait of this film and this photo shows that, while this turned out so well in the scene from #16248. (I believe that film characteristics are much more important than exposure and developments techniques, although I do respect Adams’ zone system).

Thank you for these wonderful memories! My favorite place on earth.

I agree...more pleasant as well

I think having to set composition mechanically...with tripod and ground glass, over and over- make a huge difference. Plus, analog and LF run at a more human pace. I'm not sure we were built for the speed and chaos of modern life. Nobody seems to be thriving on it, IMHO.

Another great "graphic" landscape, though it seems you're kicking yourself for not having your 5x7 along. I think it's an image that would benefit from pretty ambitious editing/manipulation before a final print--for myself, I keep being drawn to that point jutting into the water...emphasizing that salient might be a good starting point.

I know what you mean. But the 4x5 is almost like a point & shoot on a windy spring day! Hard to resist. The fault on composition is all mine however as I was in hurry.

Bill Nice shot. I have a Chamonix 45H-1 too. How do you like yours?

Glad you like, Alan. I like the ease of set-up of the 45H-1. I was not sure I would like a single control for shift and swing, but I am getting used to it. It's a nice light, compact camera for the focal lengths I use and the way I work. Thanks for askin'.

Ha, cartilage is a non-renewable resource, so I've no doubt you're making the right decisions! Otherwise, I continue to admire the visual vernacular y'all find out West, where "landscape" butts right up to the abstract...you should have some nice prints by now.
