Large Format Landscapes

Wish I could get out of town more, but at least I have Buena Vista Park within a few blocks of my house. This up-and-down tangle of aging eucalyptus and Monterey cypress, cut by paths built by the CCC in the 1930s, is San Francisco's oldest official park, established as 1867. Still getting to know this new-t0-me Walker Titan SF. Sironar 150 N, Bergger pancro 400

Bill Poole - Great tones and sharpness, I like the last one the best. I may have to try Bergger 400 since many of my shots are wooded like your last one. I can never seem to get that with HP5. Is this a straight scan of the negative or did you enhance?

...Here's a shot I made last weekend along the Mullerthal Trail, just outside of Echternach, Luxembourg.
cheers,

Perseverance pays off in this lovely nature scene.

Glad you like esearing. My scans are usually flatter than I like, so I do some adjustments in Lightroom.

...
Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano most likely to erupt, though based on its history, an explosive eruption is unlikely. Still, the odds of an eruption in the next 30 years are estimated at between 3 and 7 %, so the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) characterizes it as "potentially active", but the mountain is informally considered dormant.

In my youth I climbed Mt Hood. Near the top at the crack of dawn we stopped to make a hot drink. There was an area of large, boulder-size rocks with no snow on them. Everything else was covered in snow and ice. They were hot to the touch. The area smelled of rotten eggs. It was a stark reminder what you were standing on.

The area smelled of rotten eggs. It was a stark reminder what you were standing on.

And atop Mount St. Helens (just north of Hood) in both '71 and '75, there was no such reminder...until it blew its top in '80 losing 1300 ft. of its summit. I remember that EVENT very clearly, as my buddy and I were photographing in Tumwater Canyon (Natl Scenic Area near Leavenworth WA - 120 air miles from the mtn). It sounded like someone using dynamite in the walls above us; we wondered how can that be. Then a bit later we visited a friend near Leavenworth and were told what was happening. Then it was a matter of getting back home on the west side of the Cascades before the passes were closed due to falling ash. We barely made it home.

Hi. I have these virtual large format panoramic streetscapes. Here's a small example. Otherwise 'Panoramic Streetscapes' on Facebook.

What was this take on?

Wow. I was out of the state when it blew. So I missed all of that.
