Tuco, those are both excellent!
Fine work, Gabe.

Very windy, rainy, cloudy and late in the afternoon from a 3rd floor balcony at an inn on Chincoteague Island, this was a difficult shot.

Quartzite Falls in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Toyo 45AII, Schneider Symmar 135mm, Delta 100, D76 1:1.
My first attempt at shooting a waterfall with large format, I think the water is a bit overexposed. I learned a few things with this shot. I need to get a 90mm lens, 135mm just isn't wide enough for waterfalls, something I plan on shooting much more of. I had to crop this a bit to straighten it out and it's still not perfectly straight. When composing, I had a hard time seeing the trees at the top to level off of since they were in shadow. I need to get a 3 axis hot shoe level to level the camera. I also learned that my 135mm lens sticks at longer shutter speeds. This was supposed to be a 1 sec exposure, but 1 sec on the lens sounded more like 2 seconds. 1/2 sec sounded close to a second, but it might be a bit long. I also had to clean up quite a few scratches in PS. I had difficulty loading this holder and figured the film was getting scratched.
With all the dark rocks your exposure was probably right, but perhaps just needed a little underdevelopment to hold back the water. As for the 90mm - a lot of times I can't get close enough to waterfalls to use the 90mm because of the spray. Don't dismiss your 135 yet. Good composition!Quartzite Falls in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Toyo 45AII, Schneider Symmar 135mm, Delta 100, D76 1:1.

Thanks John. Maybe you're right about 90mm being too wide, I guess it depends on how close you want to get to the falls. I'm used to using my 16-35 on a full frame. I metered off the part of the water in the middle that looks a little bright and added 3 stops. I had 5 stops of range so I figured it was about right.
