Large Format Landscapes

[pdmoylan]

I haven't done a lot of LF landscape work, so last week when I set out to do some specifically, I managed this shot which was the best of the lot.

Cambo SCN, Caltar-S II 210mm f5.6 @f45, 1/2 second on Arista 100. The negative was really thin and I learned the hard way that my Ilfosol 3 had lost potency. I'm not displeased by the result, though.

I like the bucolic feel of this image. The lens flare and what looks like possible bellows light leak at the top are a little distracting. But nice image.

An image to be emulated. Very nice.

I assume this is the sought after 300w nikkor used here?

Thank you. I'm hoping to go back in a month or so after there's been some rain and the air is clearer.

The light leak is a digitization issue and appeared on all of my negative scans. The negative, however, don't show any light leaks.

Thank you very much.

I'm assuming I have the sought after 300 W 5.6. To be honest, my 8x10 glass came from one person: Ben Horne. I used to be the type who would spend 75 on a crap lens, then sell it and buy a 200 dollar lens, then sell that and but a 500 dollar lens. Rather than doing that I asked him what glass he had, he told me and then I went off and searched and waited for a great deal. I picked mine up from BH and it's mint, looks like it was never touched. I don't have much experience with other brands to compare, but I like the lens so far.

Good choice. I like my 300w quite a bit but it has shutter issues at the slower end which needs attention.

dodphotography - Is Ben Horne a member on these forums? I follow a lot of his work via his website/blog and youtube channel but I'd love to be able to have a conversation with the guy.. (being on the other side of the planet doesn't help I guess) but he's quite an inspiration to me....

I just emailed him... Not sure if he's a member here.

I picked up the 150 SW, 300 W and 450M. All just based on his recommendations and I'm glad because I don't ever find myself looking at lens classifieds.

Are these nikkor lenses mentioned here?
