Yannick...wonderful color palette! A question: could you explain what those green and red arrows signify? Trail markers?

Yes exactly. In Poland, this is how tourist trails at the crossroads are marked. I continued the route along the blue trail. Until the end of the road, I had only one thought in my head... Did I do everything right when taking the picture?

Thank you very much gentlemen for your kind words

A photo I made yesterday at Amicalola Falls State Park. Speed Graphic 4x5, 6" Aero-Ektar, on Velvia 50. I used some front tilt to force the focus plane somewhat up the creek to the lit up area behind - the lens has no aperture and is always at f/2.5.

This one has definitely captured the essence of the Southern Highlands—the patch of light upper left especially packs some soteriological heft for us trout bums.

Thanks CB. I do love the way certain places have late-afternoon light filtering down the creek. I've shot a lot of images in this general area. It's fun to play with different lenses and films over the years in the same place.

Also the Aero-Ektar has thorium staining which acts like a strong 85 filter.

That shot looks like an antique Bryan. Nicely done. I've got 40 sheets of Velvia 50 left in 4x5 and then they're gone forever.

I have 118 sheets left. Also new stock does still pop up on ebay from Japan. Granted at silly prices, but if you're willing to cough up it's an option.

Provia and Ektrachrome are both very fine alternatives; actually better in some ways. Adapt or perish, as they say.

Thanks Alan. I'm not sure how much I had. Long time ago I used to buy up any well kept but expired or close to expired film at good prices. This batch has been in my freezer for a long time, as I was afraid to use it. I bought several boxes from a member who forgot to send it. Then I said hey where's the film?? he sent it without any other discussion and I happened to be on my way to a long vacation. The film proceeded to bake in my black mailbox for a week down in south GA in the summer. I wasn't sure it was okay so just never shot it until this sheet, finally, to test it. Luckily it seems OK.
