Getting familiar with Sinar F1.

Nice image,Luc,the texture of the water is very nice! I tried to cover the upper part of the image on my screen to make it a square crop - and I found it even better..

Finally got around to scanning some 6x17 velvia 50. I wish I still had my 6x17 back, but trying to save some money for the shen hao ptb 6x17 on the classifieds.

Do you know that you are tempting me to get a 6x17? (not the one in the classifieds, don't worry )
Excellent images, I particularly like the second (and the third one).
(If you don't mind me saying, I find the first one just a little too "empty" - my eye lacks something to hold on. But maybe seeing it as a large print would make me see it differently.)

Thanks for the comments. Fortunately the shen hao in the classifieds has already sold so we're both safe. I agree about shot 1, although I think the richness of the color is lost in the web file, it just doesn't translate to a tiny web file very well, although I scanned these and I'm just learning. As far as 6x17 I really like it in the vertical format which seems to be really hard with digital. I don't have any good examples as I sold my 6x17 back before I got a decent shot. I have a d800e with some nice primes and am just generally dissatisfied with the output. It's technically sharper and has more dynamic range than my film shots, but it just lacks character which is the best way I can describe it. Everyone has access to amazing digital cameras now days but everyones shots look the same. It seems too easy with my nikon. I've always been interested in photography as an art form and it just seems film and large format photography has the craft behind it. Anyway I'm just starting my journey down this road. Thanks

Here's one that I did for a Maine Historic Engineering Record documentation following the removal of the 1913 Veazie Dam on the Penobscot River. This shows the original c. 1835 timber crib wing dam that had been submerged for the past century, in particular the downstream end of the log sluice.

Hanging out on the Penobscot River on a beautiful fall day, with a large-format camera, is a distinctly enjoyable way to earn a day's wage!
