Large Format Landscapes

[Jmarmck]

I am in awe of the greatness here. You all are a wonderful inspiration.
I am extremely jealous of those in the western US. I am in the SE, split 3 hrs from the Gulf and 4 hrs from the Atlantic. And I am not a beach person.
Sadly, there no majestic monoliths here, no breathtaking vistas, and very little public land. I must make do with what is here trees, swamps and agriculture.
As I am just starting we will see what can be imaged of this region. It is all in the minds eye.

I do have one question, and roaming through 832 pages of this thread would be an insurmountable task.
Is there or has anyone attempted to archive these images to a single gallery? I noticed that may of the earlier links are broken.
I understand that it is the owners right. I have been guilty of such actions on other forums.

But it would seem to me that there might be some worth in both and educational sense and a promotional sense.
Just a though.

APUG has a much more organized gallery system, I would approach the owner of that site and see if he would consider re-designing the tag system with sub groups for standard things like landscapes and nudes and waters edge and trees etc. That's your best bet.

Finished rebuilding a 10x8 Korona 2 weeks ago so drove up to Scotland to try it with some old tmax 100.

Wind was gusting to 30mph and there was a permanent fine drizzle in the air when it wasn't raining hard, so it was hard to take anything decent as the wind was trying to blow everything over. These are the only images that nearly worked out of the 10 I took.

Will just have to go back and try again!

Bruce, I like them as is, great mood to them. Very nice.

[Simon Benton]

Bruce you have captured the mood of the locations beautifully. Well done.

[StoneNYC]

agreed, the middle one has great lines and they all have a good mood.

Hi Bruce,

You've captured some wonderful images. I'm especially partial to the 2nd and 3rd - both lovely. The mood or drama in each of the images is very effective.

I'm sure my ipad screen is not doing full justice, but I wanted to make an observation, though it might be incorrect. In images 1 and 2, the whites are rather grey and, while this certainly adds to the mood of the photo, my eye is looking for a hint of a brighter white or true white, however small. Perhaps it's really there and I don't see it. Certainly the relatively small image size of my screen doesn't help !

Just a thought and forgive my observation if not correct.

Thanks for sharing your fine work.
