I like that, Kevin. How did you develop the negative? Nice detail in the dark trunks of foreground trees without completely blowing out the bright background detail.

Thanks Ben. I developed using Ilfosol 3 1:14 in a SP-445.

Here's what was a tree, a whitebark pine. As you can see, it had accumulated a lot of burls over its years. The bottom of the tree is actually the far end - the size of the near end is exaggerated a bit, due to using substantial rear tilt when making the photograph. But the trunk at the base was not particularly large. The tree likely died standing, and was eventually toppled by the weight of all the burls.

FWIW, this is one of the first three photographs that I took at f/64, the other two being variations of the same subject. I tilted to get focus roughly along the top of the log, then used the small aperture to get the ground in focus as well. I've always worried about diffraction distortion, but, at least for this image, that doesn't seem to be an issue at the modest size I print. Lens was the smaller Fuji 125, whatever lettering it has, and I used an orange filter.

This is my first image with FPP's Mummy 400. I figured it was similar to Foma 400 so I rated it at 200. I was hesitant to take this image because it wasn't great conditions at all. It was windy and I was shooting into the sun, but not only did the lens not flare, it created a nice sunburst. I was pleasantly surprised with the result. Toyo 45AII, Fujinon 90mm, 1/8s at f32. Developed in Ilfosol 3 1:9.
