damn!

I wuv dis....

I would just go nutz if I took something like this.

[Nana Sousa Dias]

Me too. When can it happen?

Thanks. Well, I live in Portugal, you can come over here and see them, I think it's the only way, I made a few exhibits here and in Brazil (when I teach workshops overthere) but, I'm not a rich photographer, it's very rare to sell a photograph.

Now i will buy more Fomapan 100 sheets to use I am sold
Which developer did you use with this Fomapan 100?

First Light at the Bristlecones

Not long after I got my first 4x5 in 2003, I took it up to the White Mountains. I camped at Grand View campground and got up in the dark. I drove fast up to the Patriarch Grove. Fast smooths out the bumps, but that morning it cost me a new tire (that road has now gifted me with two flat tires). I did get up there just in time for first light and it was very warm light, filtering through some haze on the eastern horizon.

I recently reorganized the galleries on my website and, having seen them anew, have been reworking and occasionally re-scanning some images. I rescanned this one this morning.

The film was the original Velvia 50. I sure miss that film. The newer stuff isn't bad, but the original did not have the color casts of the newer stuff. This presentation is pretty much how the chrome looks on the light table.

First of all, great images Nana. I was hoping someone else would post some images after yours because that is a hard act to follow. Your use of a wide angle is something I admire along with perfect compositions and wonderful tonal range.

So, here are a few images taken on a recent trip to the southwest. As you will notice this group of images is of Factory Butte near Hanksville, Utah. I have been stopping by this feature for years and generally have had little luck. This past winter I finally had some nice light and clouds. On two consecutive mornings, the light and clouds just kept on changing. So here are a few of the shots from the two mornings. All taken on an ebony 8x10 using Fuji Provia or Velvia.

Thanks, Jim

All those 4 images of yours are stunning. My favourite is the last one!

Thanks for your comment Nana - 1/4s was just enough.. when I metered the scene I originally decided on 1/8s as my exposure but while watching the waves and duration of the run-off, I decided I needed slightly longer. I considered using f/32 to get to 1/4s but decided to just overexpose by a stop and contract the development instead... I'm glad I did.. the sharpness in the foreground rocks would have been slightly softened at f/32...

Mountain Dew

I don't think I posted this one. It is an image of the grasses along the shore of the Merced river in Yosemite. Preston Birdwell and I were wandering around the river bed last fall, as the river was quite low.
