Large Format Landscapes

[austin granger]

I'm not sure if this is a landscape exactly, but I'm not sure where else to put it.

Anyway, I recently spent some days alone in the middle of a dry lake bed in Nevada, and anyone who has been by themselves in that sort of place will understand me when I say that the days can become very, very, very long. One finds ways to entertain oneself or risks going crazy.

Here is the midday sun in my Yashica Mat:

Corran / Professional - thanks again for the feedback. I initial like the more saturated versions - they're more eye-catching, but I find them fatiguing too. I just find they look over-baked and unrealistic. At some point it reminds me too much of what I see on flickr with so much cranked saturation, so I like to keep it a little more subdued.

(Why shoot Velvia then? Good question, seems like I'm asking for trouble. But anytime I compare a Velvia and a Provia slide I invariably prefer the Velvia)

Austin - I really like that actually! The flare in the viewfinder is very cool.

I wish my Velvia can be tha saturated
In fact i prefer Velvia the most as slide, but i may use neg if i want in between or more natural colors, wish Fuji produce Reala film for large format then it will be my favorite color film overall.

Can't decide. Color or BW?

Beautiful

What are you scanning with?

One of the few I got of the redwoods:



4x5 HP5+ @320 in Rodinal 1:50 for 10 minutes.
Crown Graphic Special - Caltar 75mm f/6.8 @f/32. Metered time of 6 seconds exposed for 36 to account for reciprocity.

I agree. By nature I prefer B&W, but realize some scenes lend themselves to color. This is one of them. Nice shot.
