What did you compose at Waters Edge?

^^ Beautiful images above. Love the feelings they give.

How do you guys get such clear, punchy and detailed scans? Maybe I need to get a scanner...

Scanning is no easy work. You can count on doing some work post-scanning if you plan the images to look satisfying to your taste. This includes clean-ups from dust/particles etc. You can use a workflow using a digital camera but tweaking the image in a software such as Photoshop or Lightroom can help. I like my flatbed scanner, Epson V750.

Along the Lake Superior shore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The morning sun was quite harsh behind me, but it was my first time shooting FP4 so I took the shot anyway and I'm happy with how it came out.

Since it’s your first experience with FP4+, I can tell you mine: this photo shows how good this film is with nature and landscape. I could almost have guessed that it was FP4+… I would almost say that this image has that little extra because you used this film.

Yeah I'm a year into large format now and have been shooting mostly expired Delta 100 with a bit of expired HP5, both of which I like. This is my first box of fresh film. I'm still learning the differences between them.

Delta 100 is lovely in 4x5.

That's a fine image, Kevin. The various counterpoints of visual rhythms and textures, combined with a very sensitive use of space within the rectangle combine to offer the viewer more than first meets the eye.

Thanks, appreciate it. The footprints bug me, but can't do anything about that.

The footprints add to a fine photo. They add a story, a mystery, a human touch.
