That is one beautiful image!! I don’t aspire to images of man made components; but this is a standout.
Stephen Shore would be envious.

Gursky's Rhine II pops out in my memory immediately

Alan, thank you for the compliment! Regarding my comment on Intrepid vs. Chamonix:
Unfortunately, I have disliked my Intrepid 8x10 since the day I got it for several reasons:
• It is very difficult to get a film holder slid in place. Frequently, the act of inserting the film holder causes the rear standard of the camera to tilt forward or backward. I made some minor modifications that have helped somewhat, but it is still not very good.
• It it quite flimsy. No matter how hard I tighten down the rear standard, it never stays in place very well.
• The first several photographs I took using the camera showed light leaks. The bellows were not secured to the rear standard well enough and I had glue it in myself.
• I have good eyesight, and I feel that the ground glass is just dreadful. I can hardly see anything on it.
I also started with an Intrepid 4x5 and, during a trip last year, the front standard broke and my lens fell to the ground, causing a deep scratch on the front glass. I had similar complaints about the flimsiness of the 4x5. I bought a Chamonix 45F-2 and was blown away by how much better it was. Virtually every complaint I had about the Intrepid was solved by the Chamonix. I feel that the Chamonix 8x10, whenever I decide to purchase one, will similarly solve my complaints with the Intrepid 8x10.
The sad thing is, the quality of my Intrepid 8x10 keeps me from shooting more 8x10.
