The second LF photos I ever took (last week):

Very nice.

Intrepid 4x5, Nikkor 90mm f/8, Portra 400

Really nice colours and so not what I'm used to seeing this film used for. A little bit psychedelic even with that distorted perspective.

Clip, a hill in the Rhinogs range, part of Snowdonia National Park, Wales, UK. Seen from the a path known as the Roman Steps on a wintery day in February 2020. A week before the UK went into lockdown. Damn lovely part of the world and can't wait to return.

Chamonix 045N-2, Rodenstock 135mm f5.6@f16 and 1/3, 1/2s, Kodak Ektar 100, 81A warm-up filter. Epson V700 scan, colourperfect and lightroom processing.

Thanks Alex!

giganova, I like that second one. If you don't mind me saying so, it does seem heavily underexposed though.

A sheet from yesterday - at the base of Bearden Falls. This is a lesser-known waterfall that is somewhat difficult to get to. I'll have to return in the fall/winter when there's less growth to see the top better.

Ha, definitely like a square crop from the top--Wehman ought to work just fine.

LOL, well the last part of the trail up to the falls you can see in the trees is about an 80-90% grade, so not sure about that one.

Since I've been trying to make larger enlargements for festivals, 4x5 is my go-to format, since I can only do 8x10 contact prints until I finally get that enlarger built. But I don't have room for it at the moment.

The negative is fine, it's my endless frustration with Photoshop: looks perfect in Photoshop (16-bit monochrome TIF file), but when I export it, it is 2-stops too dark. Exporting to web with embedded color profile doesn't help. Heck, even when I open the TIF file (which looks perfect in Photoshop) with the Finder, it looks way too dark.

Use sRGB and you'll be a lot less frustrated. Unless you have a meticulous understanding of your color workflow, any other color space is a waste of your time.
