Large Format Landscapes

That's a wonderfully evocative photo--the foreground in the left corner is worth the price of admission, I think.

Thanks, wind and light were a little wild.

Many thanks.

The compositional elements obviously precluded using any tilt, so I had to stop down to f45 for this one. Even at this aperture the extreme background/foreground elements aren't quite pin-sharp, but I didn't want to lose any more to diffraction by stopping down further, and it was also quite windy that day so I also needed to avoid motion blur of the foreground flowers & foliage. Ah, the joys of compromise

To be honest though this is just my inner perfectionist talking, and the "problem" wouldn't really be noticeable unless noseing a 40" print.

I have revisited this scene a few times over lock down trying to get the definitive image and also using it as my test location for trying different films and filters under different conditions. This was shot on 4x5 with a 210mm APO Symmar @ f32. Film was FP4+ with a red filter.

Up the Skagit River expecting big runoff flow, but the dams weren't releasing much, so I scrambled around in the gorge to find some smaller flow. TriX with yellow filter, 150mm lens, scanned from print.
