Sweet! The Burlap Terrace is pretty darn beautiful!

Thank you, Laura! That one gave me all kinds of trouble. It just wasn't right. I messed with it for a couple of months before I decided on some fairly specific burning-in it needed.

I have always been a bit of high contrast fan ,And this has contrast in spades maybe on my monitor too much , Great composition . Cheers Gary

Let me guess you two know each other?

No, we don't know each other. Not yet at least.

Very nice images from the Alabama Hills, Laura. I wish Lone Pine was more accessable for me, especially in the winter. I love the light there.

Thank you, Preston! :-)

Beautiful composition! I love the lit grass set against the shadowy hill. Nicely done!

Nice Christopher. The wall with grass reminds me of Barry Thorntons work in Edge of Darkness.

This photo was taken twenty years (or so) ago, Martin, and I never was much for taking notes but I know a few of the details and can guess at the rest.

The film was 4x5 Ilford HP5+, which was released in late 1989, so this was taken after that. The location was somewhere in the Cedar Mountains, about 50 miles west of Salt Lake City, UT, the angle of the sun looks like mid-spring or (more likely) mid-autumn.

I've always been a a one lens/one camera kind of guy, it was probably a 210mm Nikkor-W or maybe a Fuji 150mm, I didn't use much else. If this was taken in 1990 or 1991, the camera was a Gowland Pocket View, later than that, an MPP, a Super Graphic or even the Korona 4x5 that I kept in the trunk of my car for several years.

Folks;
This is such an inspiring thread, it seems like there's one great shot after another! A bit intimidating, too. I hope that I will have something worth posting when I get through my processing!
Thanks to all for sharing your great photographs.
